Testimonial for Julie Morel
We had the most incredible privilege of having Julie Morel as our doula for our entire birth experience - inclusive of meeting and preparing before birth, during birth, and postpartum visits. We could not be more grateful for their presence. From the very beginning, they demonstrated their extensive knowledge and experience and provided us with invaluable information instantly putting us at ease. Their demeanor was wonderfully reassuring (especially during labor and delivery) and demonstrated how fantastic of a listener they are - always attentive to our needs and concerns, no detail was missed.
Throughout every step of the hospital process, Julie was there to advocate for us, ensuring that our preferences were respected and understood. Their support made the delivery environment a much more comfortable place, especially considering our general dislike of hospitals. They even brought in flameless candles, soft lighting and mantra cards to make the room as cozy as possible, which meant the world to me. With the frequent rotation of hospital staff, having Julie by our side was incredibly calming and provided ease of continuity that we desperately needed. They were the best partner for my husband and not only supported me but him as well which really helped me solely focus on myself and a healthy delivery.
Beyond the birth itself, her postpartum care was essential for my recovery. Julie took the time to check in with us as family post birth, and focused on self-care for me including making us postpartum snacks, drawing baths and wonderful massage. Julie truly felt like a part of our family by the end of the journey and we can’t imagine going through it without them. Their dedication and compassion made all the difference and we could not recommend them more for anyone expecting a little one on the way.
