Her guidance was gentle and non-judgemental…

Written By Julia Knight

Julia supported our family postpartum when our son was just a few weeks old, She brought a calming presence and a wealth of knowledge that made an overwhelming time so much more manageable. She helped us with soothing techniques, the first bath, feeding and sleeping tips, and supported us generally as we got to know our new baby. She also provided invaluable overnight support while my partner was away for work, and made sure I was getting the rest I needed as a new mom.

Her guidance was gentle and nonjudgmental, and what we appreciated most was how genuinely she cared. We are forever grateful for her kindness and wisdom.
