My husband and I hired and worked with Julie starting at about 25 weeks pregnant and then for labor/delivery and for postpartum/breastfeeding support. For a first time pregnancy/baby, it was important for us to receive this support. I went into pregnancy and labor with quite a bit of anxiety and was really looking for someone to help me mentally (and physically). Julie was truly a GEM. She has a special 'calm' nature about her that is inviting, comforting and so caring. She has so many beautiful qualities that make her such an expert at what she does-- not to mention that she has helped in countless births and has such great experience. She is responsive, reliable, clear and soooo informed! I never had a problem reaching out to her and hearing back. She anticipated my doctors appointments and always followed up after each one. She met us where we were at and helped us focus on what our birthing goals were and shared insight on flexibility and what to expect.
I relied quite a bit on prayer throughout my anxious stages in pregancny and Julie was always lifting us up in prayer and encouraged me to keep the faith during my challlenging moments. That understanding meant so much to me. Her insight and support for my husband was exactly what he needed and was looking for. He wanted to be present in all of the important ways throughout this special time and to be guided by Julie's caring and informative nature was wonderful for him. The day of the birth was met with peace, calm, love, support, happiness, and God-- and that was truly incredible to us. Julie was there holding our hands through it all. God truly blessed us with her amazing role in the birth of our son and we are forever grateful.
