Julia is the perfect blend of high-level science and deep warmth.

Written By Julia Knight

She is tremendously knowledgeable about pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding, always backing her guidance with real data. As a self-described 'type A' person, I never envisioned having a relaxed birth experience, but Julia’s presence during my labor completely transformed the atmosphere and put me at ease.

Because this was my third and final birth, I wanted it to be special, and she made it a truly beautiful experience. Julia's postpartum support has been just as invaluable—she anticipates every need and takes better care of you than you would of yourself. Beyond her wealth of knowledge and generosity of spirit, she is incredibly smart, fun, and easy to talk to about absolutely anything. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I’m dedicated to supporting families through pregnancy, childbirth and beyond, with warmth, compassion, and expertise. Inspired by witnessing my friend’s home birth many years ago, I combine a rich background in acting, dance, yoga, and prenatal fitness with certifications as a birth and postpartum doula, prenatal nutrition, birth education and lactation.

I live in Harlem with my husband. We have two grown daughters and a new grandchild! I bring authenticity, joyful humor, and a collaborative spirit to every birth experience, ensuring families feel empowered and cared for throughout their journey.
