Testimonial for Julie Palmisano from Jeanette Berard

Testimonial for Julie Palmisano

As a first time mom, I did not know what to expect for labor and postpartum and decided to have a doula to guide me through the experience. We were matched with Julie and instantly hit it off in our interview. Julie was full of information, had passion for this field and made us comfortable going into the unknown of childbirth. Julie helped with birth planning, making sure she was catching every detail, wish or back up plan. Going into labor I was excited to have her there for support , but wow I was blown away with all she did to help for 34 hours! From the positive you can do this mindset , to working respectfully with the nurses / doctors to having me move, changing positions, keeping me hydrated and to remember my goals when things were tough. We could not have had our birth without her and look forward to using her for the next baby too!

Julie shines even more in postpartum care. Again not knowing what to expect I was thrown for another loop on sleep deprivation and all the little things I would never be able to cross or the list. Having Julie at our house taking care of our little one is a peace of mind I cannot explain allowing me to actually sleep. I am beyond comforted knowing she is there watching and caring and helping to get our baby on a loose schedule / knowing the expectations of the night : sleep, poop, eat and go back to bed is easier said than done, but somehow Julie gets her down in record time! She also takes into account the household while there and will do small tasks to help set our family up for success. We constantly sing her praise to all our family and friends on what an amazing service she provides. I 100% recommend Julie to any family. Not only is Julie outstanding in the doula profession, she is also such a kind and amazing soul that we feel blessed to know gotten to know and help to raise our little one. We love our Doula Julie/ Dulie / Joula !
