Testimonial for Julie Pichon

Julie Pichon was our doula for the birth of our second child. She was amazing, within minutes of meeting her I knew that she was going to be a great match for us. She put us completely at ease after a difficult birth with our first child and prepared us to take on natural childbirth. The meetings we had before the birth were great and really helped set the tone of how with wished things would go. Unfortunately my water only broke partially and after 24 hours I didn't go into labor so I wasn't able to labor at home before going to the hospital. But Julie arrived at the hospital shortly after they broke my water completely and helped us stick to our plan and advocated against pitocin for us. After 6 hours of natural drug free labor we had our beautiful daughter in our arms. During labor she was incredibly supportive and really helped keep us calm and focused on our goal. I would absolutely consider have her as my doula if we decided to have more children. She was also very helpful during the postpartum period answering any questions I had and making sure breastfeeding was going well.
