Testimonials

“Julia was such a gift throughout my whole pregnancy with our daughter. Our friends had told us about the benefits of having a doula: the relief of support during pregnancy, creating space to think and process during labor, and the knowledge they can provide to every aspect of the pregnancy, labor, delivery and postpartum. Julia not only displays all of these qualities, but also has such a welcoming, nonjudgemental, friendly presence that made us feel at ease the moment we met her. Our daughter's birth was such an incredible, life changing, never-before-experienced moment and Julia was the perfect guide through the whole process. Even during the labor and delivery there were moments when she helped nurses care for me when other hospital personnel were out of the room due to a crazy amount of births. Having her continual care during my labor was such a comfort. One particular example I have is when Julia noticed I was beginning to get anxious about pushing and walked me through the entire process so that when the time came, I knew exactly what was about to happen. Knowledge is power, but a person who can walk along side you and your partner through this incredibly life changing experience is irreplaceable. Postpartum is something that is hard to prepare for yet Julia was there the first week we were home able to answer all of our questions we had as first time parents. It was such a comfort and relief to have her encourage us in our parenting and also guide us in the best practices. We are truly SO grateful for Julia and would not have had such a smooth and peaceful prenatal, labor, delivery and postnatal experience if it wasn't for her. I recommend a doula to everyone now, and I HIGHLY recommend Julia as she took the BEST care of our family!! We are truly so grateful for her! “

“We only have good things to say about Julia. She is friendly, kind, knowledgeable, and full of great tips. She certainly gave us more confidence to go through this process. During pregnancy, she was very responsive and always got back to us in a timely manner with great resources and valuable information that facilitated us to prepare for labor. We messaged our group chat when the contractions started and she walked us through to manage, making us relaxed and courageous to labor at home. Julia joined us at home and helped ease the back pain I was experiencing and helped to find the best labor positions that worked for me. She also advised a shower right before my husband called the Uber to go to the hospital. It was a must! Once at the hospital, the hospital teams tried to change my position and asked me to hold my breath to push, but I wanted to do things differently. She helped us advocate and supported and encouraged me with my decisions staying by my side the entire time. I arrived at the hospital 7cm dilated and had an unmedicated birth, better than I could have ever imagined! She was also a lifesaver during postpartum and supported us with tips on breastfeeding, swaddling, and baby-wearing. I feel that not only did we hire a professional doula, but we also made a new friend through this amazing experience.”
