Testimonial for Julie Pichon
My husband and I began our search for a doula even before we became pregnant. This being my first child, I knew that I was going to need personal support to go through a natural home birth, and I also wanted someone I could trust to look out for my baby and I in regards to specific wishes I had. My husband was concerned about the price tag involved with hiring a midwife and a doula, but agreed that the first time around we should probably be safe rather than sorry. Ask him now, and he will tell you that there is no way we will ever go through another birth without having Julie by our side. Julie is careful to get to know you so that she can serve you according to your personality and needs. I never felt like I was just another new mom. She gave me wonderful books to read, ask me my opinion so she knew what I thought, and help educate me in areas that I didn't even know I needed to be educated in. During the actual birth, she could anticipate what was happening before it happened. I was so concerned about people not following my birth plan, but I actually couldn't even remember that I'd written a birth plan. It was juli who followed it and therefore enabled me to birth my son. I thought that there was no way I could ever be more grateful to her than I was the day that Ethan was born. I was wrong! The subsequent weeks were full of her support, help, and presents as I learned to care for my new baby. She cooked me lunch, watch my baby so I could take a shower, helped me learn how to nurse Ethan, and really looked out for me. Well my husband, mother, father, Midwife, and family were wonderful, they were definitely focused on my son. Julie was there for me, and I will never forget it! She will bring you a peace of mind, and care for you in ways that you don't even know you need for the birth. :-)
