Testimonial for Julie Pichon
Julie is a simply amazing doula. We have used her for the birth of our daughter and son. I did home births both times so it was important to me to have a solid birthing team at my birth. Julie came to our house several times before the birth. She was great at discovering our needs and desires for the birth. She helped us to think through things we hadn't thought of and she helped us create our birth plan.
Julie is great at giving advice to help get labor started. She was quick to arrive at my house when I felt I needed her to come. She was instrumental in keeping me as calm and relaxed as possible. She also helped my husband to feel comfortable and included in the process. He never took a back seat and she was always encouraging him to help in whatever way he could. Julie's strength is her calming presence. She has the ability to be firm when you feel like you can't go on and keep you motivated to continue.
Probably my favorite part about having Julie as my doula is her post-partum support. She is dedicated to helping you start breastfeeding right. She was a wealth of knowledge. I had breastfeeding issues with both children and she was quick to offer advice and support. She came to the house several times and was always available to talk on the phone. My son is now 3 months old and I still contact her with breastfeeding questions.
I am quick to recommend Julie to anyone. She is such a loving and wonderful woman with an excellent track record in supporting births. For those interested in home birth, I strongly suggest having Julie be a part of your birthing team. You will not be disappointed in her care.
