Client Testimonials for Julie Larsen
Susan
Hi, Julie was a great doula with my first child's birth. We had an 18 hour labor and I did have some back labor. Julie was able to help me use the TENS unit and apply pressure to the areas of need. We used some hypnosis techniques which seemed to really help me out. I found that the hypnosis techniques really helped me relax and be able to concentrate on the breathing techniques and relaxation techniques throughout my birth time. We were happy with Julie and hope to use her again in the future.

Joy
Hi, my name is Joy. Julie brought great Joy to the birth of our child. She was very caring and helpful during labor. We experienced a good VBAC with her. She brought insights to us that we were not aware of for our hospital birth. We were able to keep the baby with us during our hospital stay and not have the baby go into a "warmer" and "nursery". We got the birth we wanted. Thank you.

My name is Linda and I had a wonderful experience with Julie as my doula. She was helpful in every way and very supportive of my birth in the local hospital. We were blessed to find Julie and we were thankful to have her as our doula.
