Testimonial for Julie Pichon
We would absolutely recommend Julie as a labor and birth doula. We hope to have many more children, and would be happy if Julie were present at every birth!
She was an immense help in all areas. Prenatally, she met with us several times, always careful to answer all our questions and make gentle suggestions of things we might think about. She gave great attention and education prenatally.
She was available for any and all questions, all the time, via phone, at any hour. I was so thankful for this, and never felt like I was bothering her at all. During labor, she arrived to our home in the middle of the night and quietly integrated herself. She has the most gentle and quiet demeanor - perfect for labor. She is so full of knowledge. My labor was stalling out several times, and she had so many tricks up her sleeve - a million positions and whatnot to try out. I feel like we did everything possible, which I was so thankful for. Her knowledge base and experience seems unmatched by others. She was an incredible help in labor, and when it came time for delivery, I was starting to fizzle out, asking for an epidural. She reminded us how close we were, and how far we'd come, and helped push us through in those trying moments. She was an immense encouragement and ultimately helped us to have the natural birth we wanted.
She was a great advocate for me with the nurses at the hospital, and she went above and beyond in all respects. She put herself in the position of answering any and all of my requests and needs.
Postnatlaly, she was available for breastfeeding and general mama support, which we so appreciated. She is incredible, and I can't recommend her enough!
