I had a traumatic birth and c-section with my first child, so when we got pregnant with our second, investing in a doula was so important to my husband and I. I looked at many doula websites and even talked with several before hearing from our chiropractor that Julie fit the description of who I was looking for. I wanted someone who was experienced, motherly, and a pro when it comes to VBACs. Meeting Julie was wonderful and I quickly felt like she was the right choice. I felt that she very adequately prepared us for a successful VBAC and we were as confident as we could be as my due date approached. I felt so supported throughout my pregnancy! Because of the trauma with my first birth and because it led to a c-section, Julie knew just what to recommend for me to have a better experience the second time around. One of the things that she recommended was Hypnobabies, and I am SO glad that she did - it was such a necessity for me. On birthing day, I woke up in labor and texted Julie right away. We kept in touch throughout the morning and then she came to our home to support my husband and I before heading to the hospital. I ended up having a wonderful, successful, redemptive VBAC shortly after arriving there. I can confidently say that we wouldn't have had the experience that we did without Julie by our sides. Her guidance, advice, and experience was priceless. She kept in touch following birth, was always up for answering our questions, and we have found her to be a truly dedicated birth worker who we trust greatly. Birth can sometimes be a wild ride, but having someone like her by your side can and will improve your experience in the best way!
