Her calm presence was an anchor for both of us…

Written By Julia Knight

We are so grateful to have had Julia by our side for the birth of our daughter. From the very beginning, in the weeks leading up to the birth, she gave us thoughtful coaching and guidance that helped us feel prepared and confident leading up to the big day. In the delivery room and the night before in the hospital, she went above and beyond—adding personal touches that made the space warmer and more welcoming for both mother and baby. She offered my wife massages, comfort, steady support and reassurance the entire time. It was a load off of my mind because she instructed me on things I should (and shouldn't) do, before and after my wife started pushing, and overall her calm presence was an anchor for both of us. She transformed what could have been a stressful, scary experience into one filled with peace, comfort, and care. We can’t recommend her highly enough.
