From the very beginning of my pregnancy, Julie was more than just a doula—she was a guiding light through one of the most transformative times of my life. As a first-time mom, I had so many questions, fears, and uncertainties, but Julie’s calm, grounded presence and wealth of knowledge gave me the confidence and reassurance I needed every step of the way.
Throughout my pregnancy, she took the time to get to know me, my fears, my hopes, and the kind of birth experience I wanted. She offered gentle guidance, answered every question with patience, and empowered me with evidence-based information that made me feel prepared and confident. Whether it was discussing birth plans, practicing breathing techniques, or simply checking in on my emotional well-being, she was always there.
When it came time for labor, Julie’s support was simply invaluable. She brought a sense of peace into the room that made everything feel more manageable. Her hands and her words helped me breathe through each contraction, stay focused, and trust my body. Because of her, I was able to have the natural birth I had hoped and prepared for—and I truly don’t think I could have done it without her steady support.
And as if all of that weren’t enough, Julie somehow also managed to capture some of the most beautiful and emotional moments on video—those very first moments after birth with my husband, my mom, and my sister. I didn’t even realize she was recording, but now I have these deeply precious memories that I’ll be able to cherish forever.
Julie is a gift. Her presence, her care, and her intuitive ability to know exactly what you need in the most vulnerable moments—it’s something rare and extraordinary. I will always be grateful for the role she played in bringing my baby into the world, and I can’t recommend her enough to anyone preparing for this incredible journey.
