“With Julia for our labor and delivery was both a magical and empowering experience. She helped us to advocate for ourselves and the type of environment we wanted to bring our daughter into.”

“For us, that meant a Taylor Swift dance party. From making sure I was eating enough during the labor process to massaging and brushing my hair to keep me calm, she allowed me to focus and be present in the moment and made sure that I was 100% prepared for the last remaining steps when it came time to deliver. As a result, I’m so grateful that I can call our daughter’s birth the best day of my life. Julia was also present in all the right ways behind the scenes, even capturing photos of our daughter’s first moments of life that we will treasure forever.  I would encourage anyone to work with a birth Doula, especially Julia so that they can make sure that they have the best birth experience possible.

We were also so fortunate to be able to work with Julia during our early postpartum period and she taught us all the skills that we needed to make sure that we were taking care of our baby girl in the best way possible. Being first time parents, we were widely unprepared for all the nuances that come with a brand new baby and Julia was able to show us magical tricks along the way to ensure our daughter was as comfortable as possible. From how to relieve her gas pains to bathing her for the first few times, our daughter instantly bonded with her, and Julia became a part of our family. From a recovering mothers perspective, Julia was also very focused on ensuring that I was healing, from making sure that I was eating enough, hydrating and resting, I was able to take time for myself knowing that our daughter was in the best care possible. Julia blended in with us seamlessly and our daughter has the most special bond with her. We wish we could have Julia with us forever and will most certainly work with her again for future children!”
