Testimonial for Julie Pichon
Julie has probably been one of the biggest blessings in my life. She has been my doula for the births of all five of my children. We met in early 2006 when I was pregnant with my first child. That entire pregnancy was filled with complications and much worry from my husband and myself. When we met Julie, her kind heart and sweet spirit got me through some of the most difficult times of my pregnancy. If she had not been there with (and for) us, my nightmare would have been much worse. She was the ray of hope that I could get through my labor and delivery. Afterwards, her caring about me was what began my healing process. With the birth of each of my four other children, Julie reminded me of how strong I could be and how God created me just for this task. With my last pregnancy and birth was challenging (though not as much as the first). I went into being induced with a lot of fear and hesitation. Memories of my first birth flooded my mind, heart and body multiple times a day. Julie was there for all of it. She continuously reminded me that this was going to be a different experience and different outcome. Not once did she seem to be impatient or tired of hearing the same issues creep into every conversation we had. When the time came to give birth, she took charge and forced me to find my strength and courage to do what needed to be done. She was and still is a wonderful friend that I cherish dearly. And, while I still have a long way to go in healing from my first birth, I am confident that she will be there for me as much as I need her. God has truly blessed me with a wonderful doula and friend that I will hold dear to my heart for a lifetime.
