First Hello...skin to skin with Dad 

From a partner’s perspective, the excitement of having a new baby arrive often felt drowned out by the anxiety of going through the birthing process with my wife for the first time. Julia was essential to help us prepare for the birthing process, plan for the expected and unexpected, and support my partner’s and my vision of how we wanted to welcome our baby into the world.  Looking back, Julia not only gave us comfort that we were in the best position to make the birthing process as well planned and smooth as possible, but Julia really helped us transform the experience into one that was really beautiful and magical, and truly one of the best days we could have ever hoped for.

And Julia really kept helping and supporting us in the weeks after we welcomed our daughter.  The feeling of having a new baby, our first, can be daunting to say the least.  But having Julia’s expertise readily available gave us access to a wealth of useful information and advice and, perhaps more important, a calming presence and guide that made it so we felt like we knew what to expect and how to handle things even if something happened that we didn’t expect. 

I can’t recommend Julia enough.  Having her before, during, and after our daughter’s birth was a fantastic decision.”
