Julia encompasses the perfect combination of strength, knowledge, grit, warmth and care in all that she does.

These qualities are what I needed leading up to labor and while giving birth. I knew that I would be totally supported in every sense of the word going into labor, and that I would have an absolutely pro with me in the delivery room. Knowing this gave me strength and let me and my partner feel empowered throughout my labor. We got to proactively participate in the way that we wanted, while Julia was our guide, support system and advocate.

On top of all of that, Julia included so many additional thoughtful touches—bone broth after delivery, incredible foot massages and back rubs, and homemade soup postpartum. She brings true joy to her craft, which made the whole experience so much more pleasurable and interesting. Prenatal, birth and postpartum came with incredible supportive care. I cannot recommend this total badass, wonderful woman enough. I want Julia in my corner for all future birthing that I might do!
