Testimonial for Julia Piner
I was lucky enough to have Julia as my birth doula as well as my postpartum doula with my second child. I did not have a doula with my first child, and I was so happy to have Julia the second time. I was wanting to try a medication free birth, and she was so supportive in helping prepare for that. She even attended the birthing class with me since my husband wasn't able to attend! Julia has such a sweet and pleasant demeanor naturally, so it makes it so easy to feel supported and encouraged. I ended up having to be induced, and Julia met us at the hospital early that morning to help us get settled and prepared for things to get moving! She had told us before and reminded us then that she was there to support us however she could, but primarily to help my husband support me, which I love that that's her focus. She helped with positioning and breathing while on the birth ball, and with encouragement during the contractions and breaks. Ultimately, I got to a point where the pitocin and contractions were too much, and I decided I wanted an epidural after all. She was so encouraging, because I felt like I failed making that decision. She and my husband both reminded me how strong I am and how proud they were of the work I was doing to get baby boy here. That was huge for me! After baby boy was here, Julia also served as my postpartum doula, and was again such a huge blessing to our family! I also had a two year old at the time and she would help keep him entertained, help wash and put away dishes, help with laundry, and hold the baby while I took a break too. She is so easy to be around, and I enjoyed having another adult to talk to as well! I already knew Julia and how awesome she is, but through her being our birth and postpartum doula, it just confirmed more and more how great she is. Julia is someone I can easily trust to take care of me and my children, and I would recommend her to anyone as a birth and/or a postpartum doula!
