Julie was our post partum doula with our third baby and worked with us for about 3.5 months and I can't say enough about her; she is incredible. We hadn't worked with a night doula with our first 2 babies, but I wish we had! The entire family loved and felt comfortable with Julie from the moment we met her, and she was obviously incredible with our daughter. When Julie would walk into our house I felt like there was just a peacefulness that settled over all of us and it made such a difference in my post partum experience knowing that I could get some rest and my daughter was in the best hands. I never had any sort of post partum meltdown or tears with this third baby and I truly believe it was because I was getting good sleep. In the early days she'd gently wake me to nurse and later on I was able to pump before I went to bed so she'd have milk for the night feedings and I could get a full nights sleep. At my request Julie also gave me lots of tips about how to time naps and prepare for sleep training (because I'd forgotten it all from my first two, ha!). She delivered her advice and tips in the most thoughtful way and while she was confident in her perspective she was never pushy and never made me feel judged. By the time our contract was done we were fully ready for sleep training and my baby slept a full 12 hours almost immediately. More than all of this though I now consider Julie a friend. She has 4 kids herself and you can tell she is an amazing mom. I feel like I could always call her for advice now, whether about a baby or a big kid or a teenager. If you are considering a post partum doula (which you should if you can!) hire Julie -- she is incredible!!

Julie has been so much more than a doula. She is a caring, loving friend. She went above and beyond my expectations as a doula. When I went into labor she was in contact with me via phone. Giving me advice,  checking in, and keeping me calm. Once I was ready to head to the hospital, I let her know. She met me there early morning. Stayed with me for my long labor. I felt at ease with her by my side. She was very encouraging, guiding me to exercise and keep moving. The essential oils also made a positive impact on my mood. We had deep conversations that allowed me to stay occupied and keep going! She supported me in all my decisions. Once baby arrived, she took some beautiful pictures to capture the moment in the chaos.
Thank you once again, dear Julie ?. I appreciate your support during an important time in my life. ??
