Amazing! 10/10 Juile made my whole birth experience super enjoyable. From coming up with a birth plan suitable for me to being by our side during labor and delivery. I'm honestly so blessed she was able to help me birth my first baby boy. Birth itself is nerve wracking but she made me feel very comfortable with how knowledgeable and supportive she is. She not only took stress off my plate but also my partners allowing him to be present during labor and delivery.

Julie has a true gift in her care as a doula. She has a genuine warmth and compassion in her nature. She is very knowledgeable in all aspects of the birthing experience, and equips us as her clients with that knowledge coupled with her great support throughout the process, which gave us a true sense of confidence and ease knowing that we would have the best care as possible no matter what. I personally felt so seen, heard, and supported with her help. We are a returning client (2 pregnancies) and I couldn't imagine going through either of those experiences without her. I'd recommend her any time because she is truly amazing.

Julie helped me through the birth of our first daughter December 2024 and I couldn’t imagine giving birth without her. Julie has the calmest demeanor and makes you feel comfortable from the start. The educational sessions she provides are super thorough and I felt prepared but not overwhelmed. My partner travels for work and having Julie on call was so comforting. She was at the hospital in less than 15 minutes and walked me through every step of the process. Julie was a great help for me advocating for my wants throughout labor and delivery. I am so grateful for her support before, during and after delivery. Her services are the best investment and greatest gift you can make yourself or a pregnant loved one!

I’m so grateful for the support and care I received from Julie throughout my pregnancy and postpartum journey. From our very first prenatal visit, she was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also focused on making sure I understood every step of the process. As a mother herself, she brought a comforting, firsthand perspective that made everything feel more relatable and reassuring. She was always on time, professional, and went above and beyond to make herself available whenever I needed support or had questions. I always felt truly supported—emotionally, mentally, and physically. Even after the birth, during our postpartum visit, her presence was comforting and grounding. Her 8-hour package was exactly what I needed after having my baby, and I can’t recommend her enough to any expecting parent looking for compassionate, informed, and dependable care.

Julie was such a supportive doula. She made sure I was informed every step of the way — during my pregnancy, labor and delivery, and postpartum. I truly don’t know what I would have done without her. She made my labor and delivery one of the best experiences — from setting a calm atmosphere with the projector, to playing affirmations, and constantly encouraging me. She ensured I was well taken care of throughout it all. I highly recommend her — 10/10! Thank you so much, Julie, for being such a positive influence and helping me through this journey. Your support meant the world to me, and my family and I are incredibly grateful.

This was my first time having a doula and I am so happy I decided to go with Julie because she was phenomenal. I was pregnant with our second child and my husband was on deployment my entire pregnancy. Having Julie with me during that time for emotional support was a lifesaver. My husband got home two weeks before our son was born and Julie was right there with us at the hospital. I am forever grateful for her!

I'm incredibly grateful and blessed to have Julie as our doula! After having a not so great experience delivering my 2nd baby, we knew we wanted to have a doula this round. Julie is so passionate about what she does and is so down to earth. She helped us advocate for very specific things we wanted during delivery and post delivery. She really listened to our pain points from my 2nd delivery and help us craft a customized birthplan making this 3rd birth process so much easier. I've dealt with extreme carpel tunnel with all my pregnancies and Julie was at my bedside during delivery massaging my hands and arms to alleviate pain (I had her on one end and the hubs on the other arm). Post partum Julie is still coming through, making my heart-shaped umbilical cord keepsake and body butter with my placenta. Julie is truly an expert doula.... I only wish I would have met her sooner for my 1st two kiddos!

I just wanted to take a moment to express how incredibly grateful I am to have had Julie as my doula. Even though we started later in the pregnancy, she was there for us every step of the way. Julie was so hands-on, attentive, and supportive she truly went above and beyond. Her calming presence and expertise helped make labor so much easier and smoother than I could have imagined. I honestly can't say enough about how much of a difference she made, and how much we appreciated her being there for us. Julie truly made the experience 10X better, and we are so thankful for everything she did.

We met with Julie fairly early on in my pregnancy & I knew from our first meeting that I would like to work with her! She’s laid back, down to earth, & I could tell that she was very passionate about her work as a doula. Our meetings throughout pregnancy were helpful & informative— giving us extra confidence as the days led up to the birth of our son. When I finally went into labor Julie was responsive & supportive via text. When I was ready for her to arrive at the hospital she was a calming presence that made me feel at peace knowing I had extra support. Although my birth journey did not go as I hoped I am eternally grateful to have had Julie by my side— supporting my decisions & assisting me as I worked through the pain. Her postpartum gifts were beautiful, I’m so glad I was able to have part of my son’s umbilical cord preserved. If you’re looking for doula support, I HIGHLY recommend Julie. She is very kind, passionate, & encouraging. You will be so glad you chose her for extra support.

I can't begin to express how grateful I am for the incredible support Julie provided during my birthing experience. From the moment she arrived, I felt an immense sense of comfort and reassurance that I wasn’t alone. My labor was long and challenging, but she was with me every step of the way, offering both emotional and physical support. She knew exactly what I needed before I did, and her presence made all the difference. Her guidance, calm energy, and unwavering encouragement gave me the strength I didn’t know I had. There were moments when I felt like I couldn’t go on, but she helped me stay focused and grounded, never letting me give up. It truly felt like she was in tune with my needs, and I honestly believe I couldn’t have done it without her. She went above and beyond in ways I can’t even fully explain, making what could have been an overwhelming experience one of empowerment and trust. If you're considering a doula, I highly recommend her – she’s a game-changer in every sense of the word! Thank you for being my rock during such a transformative time.
