This kind of care is only possible from someone who “gets it.” I just may have another baby just to work with her again.

Hiring Julia as my birth doula was the very best decision I made during my pregnancy. She was deeply helpful - in prep and in labor. I had a home birth for my first baby and she went well-above and far-beyond to ensure I was prepared for what to expect and armed with all the tools I needed to thrive and have an empowered birth experience. On the day, the labor itself unfolded quickly. My attending midwife only arrived 20 minutes before, so Julia, my partner, and I did it almost completely by ourselves, a feat only possible because of her guidance. 

Simply put - Julia is wise and intuitive. She offers the perfect mixture of reverence and levity. When I couldn’t walk, she held me up. When I needed it, but did not know it myself, she changed my position to move the baby down. And when I was exhausted, she reminded me of my strength. This kind of care is only possible from someone who “gets it.” I just may have another baby just to work with her again.

It was a gift to my family to work with Julia. We were completely and totally held. Many thanks [to you] for being the hands and feet of God Herself.”
