Testimonial for Julie Pichon
We feel very blessed to have had Julie alongside us during pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum. I appreciated having such a wealth of knowledge and experience, especially since this was my first baby. I could reach out to her anytime during pregnancy and postpartum with questions or concerns, and she always had helpful ideas and sound advice. We were particularly grateful that she was able to guide us through our birth preferences as well as practice some labor positions and techniques in our home during the third trimester.
Julie was instrumental during labor in helping my husband and I decide when to leave for the hospital, and once we arrived she exuded peace and calm while also ensuring that my labor wishes were respected. She was able to suggest different positions, help to get the temperature of the birth tub up when we had hot water issues, and remind me of how to relax through contractions. Knowing Julie was by my side, encouraging me and praying for me, gave me strength and perseverance during my natural labor. During postpartum, her frequent check-ins were invaluable in helping my husband and I through the many questions that come up when breastfeeding and caring for a newborn for the first time.
I highly recommend Julie—she is not only an amazing doula, but a wonderful person to have supporting you in this major life moment. She is truly a “mother to the mother”!
