Giulia has been an incredible support starting with preparation for our baby’s birth and continuing during his first months of life. Her guidance has given us peace of mind and most definitely helped us to better care for our baby. We are so thankful for her gentleness and knowledge and would recommend working with her in a heartbeat!
We have greatly appreciated Giulia’s approach -she is a great listener and always tries to understand the situation before offering information and possible solutions. She has made us feel comfortable sharing whatever challenges we’ve encountered and always offered kindness and reassurance when we have been stressed.
Importantly, Giulia draws on a wealth of knowledge and experience to help new parents meet their babies’ needs. Whether the issue was feeding, gassiness or creating a bedtime routine, she has patiently taught us valuable methods and tools to confidently care for our baby. We have also greatly appreciated that when something new or unusual has come up (our baby has a kidney condition), Giulia is not afraid to research the topic and come back to us with helpful information and suggestions.
Giulia’s responsiveness and reliability has meant a lot to us. It is so reassuring to know that during a rough patch with baby, we can send her a message and she will reply with encouragement and suggestions. During a phase where our baby had a hard time going to sleep, her guidance over the phone and text for how best to soothe him worked wonders. In addition to us reaching out to her when needed, Giulia has been great about checking in with us regularly to make sure things are going well.
We cannot imagine how we would have gotten through our baby’s first months without Giulia’s support. If you are looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and affirming doula, you should choose her!
