Testimonials

“In late October of 2018 my husband and I found out we would be expecting baby number two. Our birth plan was simple-get the baby out safely. With our first (a boy), I had a planned c-section. This would be the same route we’d have to take now with our baby girl. I was looking for a different experience this time around and decided to look into having a doula. We came  across Julia in our search for doulas. All it took was one conversation and I knew immediately that she was the one. She is so sweet, knowledgeable and never pushy. She answered all our questions and concerns.

My main concern this time around was breastfeeding. My son never latched and that was one thing I really wanted to do this time around with my daughter. She gently explained the importance of skin to skin contact right after birth, along with many different positions that I could try with my daughter to get her to latch properly. Throughout my pregnancy we spoke about many topics from breastfeeding to the options I had in terms of delivery. One of which was, a gentle c-section. I’d never heard the term “gentle c-section” until Julia mentioned it. She explained the difference between a regular c-section and a gentle c-section and I knew going with the gentle c-section was the way to go. I am so happy we decided to go with the gentle c-section! It was the best decision we made. I was so happy with the outcome of my daughter’s birth. I only wish I had known of this option before with my son.

The day of the birth Julia was super supportive keeping me calm and relaxed. She bought many essential oils to help ease my anxiety and gave me a massage which just put me in a better mind set. Overall I can honestly say that she was a godsend. She helped everything go super smooth and gave me peace of mind. I would 100% recommend her to anyone who is looking into having the service of a doula. She is amazing! I will definitely contact her for any future pregnancies.”

“Allow me to begin this testimonial by explaining what an AMAZING doula means to me and my husband. An AMAZING doula is someone who supports, guides, respects and truly understands what the baby journey means to us. In 2016, my husband and I found out we were pregnant with our beautiful baby girl. We were very excited about this new venture of our lives. But we were also very nervous at the same time because we wanted everything from pregnancy to delivery to go exactly as we wished. Julia played a huge part of our journey from the beginning and all the way through until our angel arrived 🙂 She helped make this experience a smooth one.

When I became pregnant she expressed her interest in becoming a doula and wanted to know everything about pregnancy through postpartum. Julia was so wonderful at listening, learning, and most importantly supporting. My husband and I were very grateful for her during this time because she knew how important this journey was for us. We knew immediately that she would be an amazing future doula because of her love and passion for babies and respect and understanding to parents. She was easy to talk to and supported my roller coaster of emotions (I’m sure every pregnant lady can relate lol) My husband and I felt very comfortable to express all of our excitement and fears that pregnancy brought to us. Something HUGE that caught my attention with Julia during this time were her conversations with my husband. Many pregger ladies don’t give their man enough credit during this beautiful experience. REMEMBER they play an important part in this too. Julia always included my husband and always listened to all of his thoughts. That, meant A LOT to me.

Fast forward to 2018…Woohoo! Baby number two was our beautiful baby boy and we chose Julia to be a part of this other pregnancy venture! This time Julia played an even bigger role because she was able to bring forward her research-based knowledge that she gained throughout the years.  She was again very supportive and respectful during the pregnancy, labor, and postpartum process. I am so grateful because Julia helped us accomplish our birth wish of having a natural birth without any intervention. Her relaxation techniques and SOOTHING massages were heaven sent. Her guidance and patience made us feel so comfortable and brought a lot of peace during this time in our lives. Whenever we had any questions or any concerns, we were able to pick up the phone, at any time of the day or night and Julia would always be super responsive. She also guided us through our prenatal appointments and made sure we truly felt at ease.  Thank you Julia for sharing your love and passion through this profession. It truly takes a special person and we are grateful the universe chose you! We are so happy to say Julia was the definition of the doula my husband and I expected, plus more!

P.S. Julia also took our maternity photos! She wears many hats! Thank you for being a part of all these wonderful milestones!”
