Julie has a beautiful gift! We were first time parents and wanted a natural birth. My husband is a physician who has done many labors, and still learned a lot from her. Julie was very patient with us and answered all of our questions. Not only did she help us prioritize what was most important to us, but she was a steady force in the delivery room. I personally underestimated the strength needed for a natural birth, but she kept us on point. She did not replace my husband, but rather worked with him and provided direction so that he could help me. Julie had a great balance of staying calm and directed, while also respecting the different direction of some nurses. She even prayed with us! Lastly, her health didn't end once our son was born: her breastfeeding tips have really gotten us off to a great start. I now see the beauty of breastfeeding and feel generally competent. Overall, I feel that she put the power and knowledge back into the parents' hands. We would undoubtedly use Julie for another natural birth!
