Testimonial for Julie McBurney
As someone with high anxiety, I knew I wanted a doula to guide me through the birthing process. The minute I met Julie, I knew she was the right person. From our first meeting, I was welcomed with warmth and support. She provided an incredible amount of knowledge and answered all my questions with patience. She was attentive to our family and me before, during, and after the birth. Her years of experience helped me navigate tailbone issues weeks before my labor date. She identified that the baby's head may be in the wrong position and gave me exercises to help relieve it and improve the baby's position. This type of knowledge was not something my provider could identify, and oh, was she right.
When it came to labor, she brought me so much relief. Julie's superpower is her grounding energy, which creates a nurturing and calming atmosphere. She knew exactly what to say, how to hold me, and taught my partner how to help during the process. There were moments when I needed to advocate, and she showed me how (teaching me to fish). She was a dream to work with, and the other labor and delivery midwives and nurses agreed. The nurses shared that we made the right choice because she has an incredible reputation in the hospital as a supportive and highly professional doula to work with. I saw it firsthand. She was always one step ahead to make the whole experience seamless for both me and the nurses. Because of Julie, I had a positive, low-anxiety birthing experience. She helped me through my challenges, eased my fears and anxiety, and kept an incredible energy in the room that rubbed off on everyone. My husband, baby, and I couldn't have been happier.
Julie is, without a doubt, following her calling. She has made an incredible impact on our lives, and we are so happy that our little one entered the world with such a positive experience.
