Julie is wonderful! She was super great at asking what I needed all along the way. She supported my birth plan, and made me feel like I was doing a good job, during a hard labor experience. She asked if I liked where she was putting counter presure, or if I needed something different. She was great at suggesting we try different things when, I wasn't sure if I was liking what we were atempting. She let me hold onto her when I needed it, she reminded me about breathing and praised my efforts. I loved her encouragement, her gentle and uplifitng presence. She helped me manage the pain myself instead of having to go for the meds, which is what I wanted. She helped take some pictures of us when my baby was born and right after, so my husband and I could focus on other things but still have those moments. She stayed around and massaged my feet, and made sure breastfeeding started out right. I am very glad that I made the call and asked Julie to come assist me at my birth, and my husband is too! I would recammend her to any pregnant women who wants a wonderful doula! Thank you Julie!
