Julianna was amazing! She was our postpartum doula for the first six weeks of our daughter's life, and hiring her was truly one of the best investments we made. Some of the things we loved:
She was calm, knowledgeable and encouraging. The postpartum time is overwhelming, and it was so wonderful to have her show us how to girl our daughter a bath, trim her nails, etc. She was willing to pitch in and help wherever we needed her. She was proactive, too, offering suggestions when we were too tired to think about how to best use her time.
She was terrific with communication. At the end of every week, she would send us a summary email of relevant info that we had talked about. We had her show us how to use our baby carriers and other gear, and she did video recordings of herself doing it so we could go back and watch after when she wasn't there. (SO helpful when you are a tired parent with a newborn... hard to remember anything!). She helped us organize the nursery, pack a diaper bag, etc. She also helped me with a postportum meditation/breathing exercises which were amazing in such a stressful time.
Highly, highly recommend hiring Julianna!
