I hired Julie immediately upon meeting her. She suggested I interview at least 3-4 other doulas to gain knowledge and make sure we are a good fit. I said yeah yeah ok sure thing... within 24 hours of our 1st doula meet we sent the text YOURE HIRED! My husband and I immediately felt like she was part of the family and knew God put her in our life for a reason. There was just no way someone else was going to be as good as a fit as she was so we skipped the whole meet other doulas thing. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the birth world and such an incredible listener. She is so passionate about pre and post natal care that she went above and beyond to make sure I was well nourished, physically and mentally prepared for birth as well as physically and mentally taken care of after birth. She helped me with my birth plan down to every detail, she helped me in labor through every contraction - big or small she was right there with counter pressure, encouraging words, new ways to labor and so on. Julie felt like family after our 1st meet but now I can truly say she will always be family to us and we are so fortunate to have had her by my side for my very first home birth. I never once feared or deviated from my plan because Julie was so confident in me and that meant the absolute most. I cant wait to have more babies with Julie by our side :)
