My husband and I could not have asked for a better birth experience, we honestly feel it was perfect. Julie was very instrumental in our prenatal, birth and postpartum stages. The prenatal visits with Julie really helped us feel confident, educated and prepared for what was to come. She was able to answer every question we had, educated us and calm any fears and nervousness. We had so much faith that whatever Julie said we should do, is exactly what we would do. When contractions started (2:00am) Julie was there to start our 9 hour labor journey. I felt calm and confident that I could experience a natural birth because Julie (and my husband) offered labor support by encouraging words, massage and coaching. Julie acted as a strong support for not only myself but also my husband. She and my husband worked together as a team to offer the best comfort for me. My natural birthing experiencee was a success, but Julie's support did not stop there. Julie made sure I felt comfortable caring for a newborn and was sure to answer any questions or concerns I had about being a new mom. My favorite part about the entire experience with Julie was my birth story she put together. Words cannot describe how special this book is to my husband and I. We are able to relive our pregnancy and birthing journey from start to finish. A huge thank you goes to Julie for everything she did-It would not have been the same without her!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!
