Testimonials
“We are super grateful for the support Julie provided during the birth of our child. Her exceptional communication skills stood out from the very beginning. Even before our screening interview, her website gave us a clear understanding of how she operated and what she offered (we found her through a doula matching site, but then went to her website for more info). During the interview, Julie was warm, approachable, and incredibly informative about her role as a doula. Throughout the prenatal meetings, she was in tune with what Mia needed and remained transparent and consistent in her communication, always keeping us informed about her availability and any back-up plans (which we thankfully didn’t need!). On the day of delivery, Julie was absolutely phenomenal. She met us at our home right when things started to rock and roll. She traveled with us to the hospital and stayed by our side the entire time, offering constant support and reassurance. Julie worked hard to transform our hospital room into a comfortable and inviting space, which made things a lot calmer. As labor progressed, her expertise and encouragement were invaluable; she was right there on the front lines, guiding us every step of the way and providing hands-on support when it was finally time to push. Her presence and professionalism made all the difference! We can't recommend Julie enough. She was everything we were looking for in a doula and more. I’m writing this with baby Ambrose right beside me and if he could talk, he’d say thank you too! Thank you, Julie!”

“We had the most incredible privilege of having Julie as our doula for our entire birth experience - inclusive of meeting and preparing before birth, during birth, and postpartum visits. We could not be more grateful for their presence. From the very beginning, they demonstrated their extensive knowledge and experience and provided us with invaluable information instantly putting us at ease. Their demeanor was wonderfully reassuring (especially during labor and delivery) and demonstrated how fantastic of a listener they are - always attentive to our needs and concerns, no detail was missed.
Throughout every step of the hospital process, Julie was there to advocate for us, ensuring that our preferences were respected and understood. Their support made the delivery environment a much more comfortable place, especially considering our general dislike of hospitals. They even brought in flameless candles, soft lighting and mantra cards to make the room as cozy as possible, which meant the world to me. With the frequent rotation of hospital staff, having Julie by our side was incredibly calming and provided ease of continuity that we desperately needed. They were the best partner for my husband and not only supported me but him as well which really helped me solely focus on myself and a healthy delivery.
Beyond the birth itself, her postpartum care was essential for my recovery. Julie took the time to check in with us as family post birth, and focused on self-care for me including making us postpartum snacks, drawing herbal sitz baths and providing wonderful massage and belly binding. Julie truly felt like a part of our family by the end of the journey and we can’t imagine going through it without them. Their dedication and compassion made all the difference and we could not recommend them more for anyone expecting a little one on the way.”

“I cannot recommend Julie enough as a doula. Her thoughtful and supportive presence during my postpartum journey was invaluable. Julie’s extensive knowledge about babies and newborns, combined with her calming demeanor, made me feel confident and assured as I navigated the transformation of becoming a first-time parent. She felt like a lifeline during those challenging first few weeks and months, providing unwavering support and guidance. Julie was also incredibly supportive during my prenatal period, helping me prepare both mentally and physically for the arrival of my baby. She truly made a difference in our lives.”

“Julie was an absolute blessing during the first six months of our baby's life. Her unwavering support, care, and expertise made a world of difference for our family. From the very beginning, Julie provided both night and day support, ensuring that we felt confident and well-rested during those crucial early months. One of Julie's greatest strengths is her attentiveness and genuine care for our baby. She not only helped with feeding, changing, and soothing our little one but also took the time to understand their unique needs and preferences. Her gentle approach and nurturing demeanor created a loving and safe environment for our baby to thrive. In addition to her hands-on support, Julie went above and beyond by offering third-party resources for breastfeeding support and group sessions. She connected us with valuable resources and provided us with the tools and knowledge needed to navigate the early stages of parenthood with confidence.
What truly sets Julie apart is her dedication and commitment to our family. She didn't just fulfill her role as a doula; she became a cherished member of our family. Her warmth, compassion, and genuine care made all the difference in our parenting journey. We are forever grateful to Julie for her invaluable support during those precious first months. Without her, we wouldn't have thrived as a family the way we did.”

"Julie came to help our family in the postpartum period and was an absolute blessing as we started to emerge from our cocoon as a family! I did not expect for it to be so challenging to leave my baby in the care of someone else initially and Julie supported me as I began to transition away from baby for brief periods for some self-care activities (appointments, acupuncture, yoga, time with friends, etc.). With Julie’s nurturing and professional energy and fantastic communication skills, I felt supported to take care of myself so I could show up as the best version of myself for my baby. I could see how much my baby loved spending time with Julie too, which warmed my heart and made me feel even better about spending some time away. I truly do not know what we would have done without Julie. Julie was indispensable to our family!”
