Liminal: The transitional space between who you once were, and who you are becoming: on the threshold of significant change
About Me
I’m a certified Birth and Postpartum Doula dedicated to supporting families through childbirth with warmth, compassion, and expertise.
Somehow the sun rises yet again, with it, a new baby takes his first breath in the arms of his mother. The bliss of witnessing this sunrise in a cab ride home with heart open wide, the work of ushering baby earthside will always fill me with wonder….watching 2 brave new parents do such transcendent love drenched work together in a space where time is suspended inside the- before, during, and now…. this beginning that transcends words…

She has such a calm and reassuring aura, we immediately felt comfortable with her.

“Having Julia on our team made a huge difference and I truly cant recommend her enough”
Kicy
Julia was a huge help to us in all parts of the process of welcoming our daughter Colette. She made Candy as comfortable as possible throughout the labor and helped her through the hardest parts. Even with a relatively smooth delivery, there were many decisions to make and Julia was a calming presence as well as an advisor and advocate. The postpartum sessions were a godsend for getting our newborn care started off on the right foot. We were very happy to have been able to work with Julia on our journey!
“Julia came into our lives at a time when things felt incredibly overwhelming and difficult, and she brought so much wisdom, light, compassion and flow to the situation. She taught me so much about newborn care, but also about how to better care for myself during this intense period. I’m so grateful that both my baby and I were able to benefit from all her kindness and expertise. And her leg massages = heaven!”

Julia’s care felt deeply human and personal. She held space for whatever showed up with compassion and without judgment. Her coaching and encouragement helped me feel safe and strong throughout my pregnancy and birth. With her guidance, I was able to go through my birth without an epidural and she made the sterile environment of the hospital feel peaceful and cozy. Julia helped me to trust myself and my instincts, and supported me in achieving my ideal birth. I’m so grateful that she was part of our birth team.

Cecilia and Dave
Having someone who truly knew us, our personalities, and our story, to walk with us through this process was invaluable.
She has encouraged us to be gentle and brave as we introduce this baby boy and ourselves as new parents, into this world. We love you so much Julia.
“She labored with me for over 24 hours. She helped in labor positions, food, water, positive energy and intent. She was fully supportive especially when I couldn’t think and she advocated on my behalf which is really the most important. I love her and my family loves her. We will share this bond forever. She comes highly recommended. Please use her services!!”
