About Jocie
Senior Yoga Teacher, Founder of Theta Hypnobirthing & Theta Mama & Child Retreats, Pre and Postnatal Yoga specialist and Mother of 2.
Jocie has been teaching Vinyasa Yoga for over 10 years and has been guiding pregnant clients with Yoga and Birth Preparation since 2019. Since becoming a Mother herself 5 years ago, she has felt a strong calling & desire to support women and parents through all aspects of this rite of passage.
She cares deeply about not only birth itself, but also spreading awareness around Matrescence, (the process of becoming a Mother). and aims to help women uncover the innate wisdom that lies within them by sharing tools that engender a belief in the magic and intelligence of their own bodies.
A passionate, nurturing and embodied approach to her teaching has afforded her a loyal and affectionate client base that she works with on a 1:1 basis, via online courses and in transformative Retreat containers.
I was not sure where this training would lead me but I felt called to learn more about pregnancy to support my clients.
An awe inspiring, carefully curated course that has left me feeling so well informed and confident.
I’m still feeling the ripples months later from what has been my favourite training to date.
I absolutely loved this CPD, both Calli and Josie's knowledge really complimented each other covering lots of important topics surrounding both pregnancy and birth.
WOW!! What can I say, I got so much more from this course than I could have ever imagined.
When we first began with our sharing circle it became apparent that I was one of the few people in the room NOT on this wild and wonderful journey.
