We were really fortunate to have Julia Chemotti as our Birth Assistant for our baby's birth in early 2018. Julia met with us before the birth to get to know her and help ease any anxieties. At the birth, she was always present and ready to give us encouragement, measurements (she took meticulous notes!), and honey sticks to help us keep going. She was a seamless part of our birth team and exceedingly conscientious when checking the baby's heart rate - she kept us informed of what she was doing and always asked permission before proceeding. It was a long labor and she was very encouraging.
After the birth, she came to our home to make sure we're in good shape with latching, diaper changing, and post partum self-care. We cannot be more grateful for having an experienced birth assistant in Julia, and we highly recommend her for anyone looking for an awesome birth experience. We hope she can be a part of the birth of our second birth, too!
