Julie Roberson Birth & Postpartum Doula in Virginia Beach, VA

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.

— Belinda Joseph

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!

— Courtney Anderson

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!

— Chan'Tiss Daniels

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.

— Brittany Cornine

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.

There are no words for how grateful we are as a family that Julie was a part of our pregnancy and birthing experience. She helped me make the best decision for myself and baby and advocate appropriately for myself. As a first time mom, this was so vital to ensuring I did not experience birth trauma. I really have her to thank for such a beautiful experience. She is the best and we hope to work with her for our next little one.

— Asia Cravens

Julie was our dream doula! As a first time mom there was so much I didn’t know I would need to know and Julie did not disappoint! She was incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and organized. Most importantly, she was there during the hardest decisions we had to make during labor—she was truly a Godsend for seeing us through it! I’m certain I would have ended up with more birth trauma than I did had it not been for her and her advocacy.

— Denise Benavides

It was such a pleasure to have Julie be a part of my prenatal experience & delivery. Having had 3 children prior to this last pregnancy, I thought I knew what to expect and that it would be a breeze. It was not. I faced major complications that were almost fatal. Although Julie provided no medical intervention, she brought about sense of peace and calmness in such a scary, detrimental situation; for myself and my family. The support she provided not only exceeded my expectations, but changed my perspective as it pertains to other professionals in her field. I had never experienced care on that level before. I would highly recommend Your Doula In Love LLC to new moms, experienced moms, moms of advanced maternal age or any other category I may have missed. I’m sure she will make a huge difference in their birthing process.

— Laura Graham

I am so incredibly grateful to have had Julie by my side during the birth of my rainbow baby. Julie has such a calming energy that instantly puts you at ease, which is exactly what I needed. Julie’s knowledge and expertise were invaluable throughout my pregnancy journey. Each of our home visits felt so personal and thorough. She was always on time and prepared. We worked together to create a birth plan, and her knowledge made me feel confident in the choices I was making for my birth experience. There were moments when I needed a comforting word or a reassuring hug, and Julie was right there, wiping away tears and offering the support I didn’t even realize I needed. When labor finally arrived, I felt a sense of peace knowing Julie would be there. She guided me through different labor positions, helping me move in ways that kept things progressing. When decisions had to be made, Julie took the time to help me think through all my options, giving me the clarity I needed to feel empowered and confident in my choices. Thanks to Julie’s support, I had the birth experience I had hoped for. I was able to stick to my birth plan, and when things got tough, she was there, reminding me of how far I’d come and encouraging me to keep going. Her presence made all the difference. Julie even went above and beyond by creating beautiful placenta prints and crafting a heart from my baby’s umbilical cord. I will always, without hesitation, recommend Julie to anyone in need of a doula. She is truly a gift, and I will forever be grateful for the role she played in bringing my rainbow baby into the world.

— Bryauna Parker

Julie really is one of a kind I’m so happy that I met her she guided me through every thing when I was pregnant she’s the reason that I didn’t give up I wish it was more people in this world like her she took her time to message me days that she didn’t even have to she wrote long paragraphs to push me to stay focus she’s really the reason I didn’t give up at all I have a testimony & I’m thankful that she’s apart of that I love you Julie

My experience with Julie was truly magical. This is my first child, and I had a home birth. She supported me through my pregnancy , birth, and postpartum check-ins. Booking her was really easy and she contacted me very fast after I submitted interest. I found her through recommendation of a friend that was happy with her services! Julie is knowledgeable, communicative, supportive, kind, and overall an amazing doula! She made my experience as a first time mom very special. The prenatal visits were super informative and detailed perfectly! She even provided copies of summaries and notes of everything that was discussed. I was having a hard time finding a midwife and she was able to give me a reference to the midwife I chose and loved! Any text or call I had throughout pregnancy she answered immediately/quickly! She also checked in periodically in pregnancy to see how I was doing which was super reassuring! My birth experience was amazing and positive. Personally my labor was fairly quick, and when I gave her a call to notify I was in labor she came super quick. She was actually the first to arrive out of everyone I called, probably within 30-45mins(This was at 1:00am!) I can honestly say she was the best person that helped me get through labor. I only allowed her to speak to me and she supported me and advocated for me in the best way! I felt heard, comfortable, and understood. I am so happy and grateful I had her there with me, I don’t think it would’ve been as positive if she wasn’t there! She made me feel like family throughout my entire maternity process and supported every decision i made. I also chose to encapsulate my placenta and she did a beautiful job! I love the keepsakes I was given and will cherish them forever! She even has checked in on me postpartum and to wish my baby boy a happy 6 months :) I love her as a beautiful soul, and she’s an amazing mom! Her services were so special and helpful to me. I 1000000% would recommend her to anyone who is expecting. As a mother I really recommend getting a doula it truly was helpful and motivating, Julie was everything and more! She helped me gain confidence to home birth and prep my knowledge as a mother. I will forever be grateful for her and cherish my positive experience. Thank you Julie :) <3

Wow! Where should I start? Well, I will say I started my doula search early. We interviewed at least 3 or 4 other doulas, but it was something about Julie’s vibe that made her really stick out to me. From our first meeting, she seemed very organized, kind, personable, and knowledgeable. With Julie as our doula, she checked in periodically between visits and made herself available via text or call if I had any questions or concerns. Fast forwarding to the weekend of baby boys delivery, Julie made sure she was available to make sure she was able to meet us at the hospital if it was indeed go time. We went into the hospital to see if I was far enough along, indeed we were and my husband called Julie to come be with us. She usually gives a 2-hour window to be en route to the hospital so I was expecting to see her closer to 2 hours. To my surprise, I feel like she showed up within 30 to 45 minutes of when my husband called. When she arrived she made sure we were being advocated for as we needed to be as well as set the atmosphere for laboring just as mentioned in the birthing plan. I will say if you are having back labor she gives the “BEST” back massages. With her support, I will say we successfully were able to have an unmedicated birth. Although we did have a come to Jesus moment when I didn't think I could push anymore, it felt like she became a drill sergeant but I understand it was needed and it was with love. After birth, we had postpartum hours with her. She would show up each time ready to tackle the list of items we had for her to do. With all this being said, I would definitely recommend Julie for your doula services.

I cannot express enough gratitude for Julie, who was truly amazing throughout my first pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum period. She provided invaluable support and knowledge to both me and my husband during our prenatal classes, preparing us thoroughly for the journey ahead. Julie’s presence during my birth was indispensable, and thanks to her guidance, the process went flawlessly. Her support didn’t end there; she continued to assist us postpartum and followed up consistently, ensuring we felt supported and cared for every step of the way. Julie’s dedication and expertise made a world of difference in our experience, and we highly recommend her services to any expecting parents.

— Isabel Graszler

This review is long overdue. I've been in the throws of postpartum. Julie was absolutely everything that I needed in a doula. I felt comfortable with her almost immediately upon meeting her. Our home visits were like having a close friend over, and I really needed that. She knew exactly what I needed during pregnancy, labor and when my delivery wasn't going the way I hoped. I truly believe that had I not had Julie there, I would have had a hard time coming to terms with how my birth experience went. Not only was she a calming presence in the room but she also got great photos that we will cherish forever. And as if that's not enough, she took time out to deliver placenta prints a few weeks later! I had never gotten placenta prints (this was my fourth pregnancy) and they are absolutely beautiful and so special. She checked on me weeks after and wished him a happy one month. I would recommend Julie to anyone who is looking for a doula. She TRULY CARES about you and baby. Thank you so much for everything, Julie! We will never forget how you helped us bring our sweet boy into this world.

— Jessica Schwind

Julie provided excellent support and education to help me achieve the safe and unmedicated birth that I desired. She is very knowledgeable, competent, and overall someone that you definitely want on your labor team!

— Courtney

Julie is such a great doula and such a sweet person. She is very educated on childbirth and breastfeeding. I secured Julie as my doula to have a smooth vaginal delivery but I ended up having a planned csection due to some complications. Julie supported me every step of the way and although I was nervous to be having a csection, she reassured me and instilled confidence in me. We talked in length over choosing a doctor to deliver me who aligned with me personal desires for the birth of my baby, and I’m happy we made the decision we did. The day of my birth she showed up and prepped me mentally for my csection and was in the recovery room afterwards. I highly suggest Julie, and will be using her in the future.

— Brianna Jackson

Julie was Amazing!!! She really took the time out to learn how I work and to learn how Ii wanted my birth. She helped me control my breathing and got my baby girl here safely! I really do appreciate her so much and I would most definitely need her again for my next child. I was so scared but she kept me calm and encouraged me throughout my whole pregnancy. I will be referring her to anyone that is looking for a doula. Thank you Julie, this was a memorable experience because of you!

— Sade Harris

It took me awhile to write this review, only because I've been busy with the baby and life but I want to share this because Julie was so great with me leading up to and at the birth of my daughter, that I hope you will consider her when looking for a Doula. Julie was a warm spirit and is very knowledgable, open and honest. She made the whole process easy and was super supportive of what I wanted my birth experience to be. She was communicative and when I asked her to come to the hospital she was there in about an hour. She stayed the whole time until I gave birth and gave her input when I needed to make decisions (I asked her to) and she also had a great rapport with my doctor. Her pricing is also very reasonable for the area. I would totally recommend her if you are in need of a Doula. My babygirl is 4 months now and I'm very glad I chose Julie for my journey into Motherhood.

— Orla Beale

Julie is an amazing doula. I am so thankful that I had her as my birth doula. She helped prepare both my husband and I for labor and the postpartum period. She taught wonderful prenatal sessions and was there for my labor. She also recommended a wonderful local birthing class. Originally my husband and I planned a home-birth and Julie was very supportive of this decision however it didn’t go as planned and I had to go to the hospital to give birth. Julie met my husband and I at the hospital and supported us throughout my entire labor and delivery. She made sure that both my husband and I understood the information the hospital staff discussed with us throughout labor. I ended up having an emergency c-section and Julie helped encourage and supported me as I received that news. That helped me tremendously. Once my husband and I returned home from the hospital Julie brought over our umbilical cord art, and placenta prints, as well as my encapsulated placenta. I would definitely recommend any expecting mother to select Julie as their doula. She is compassionate and supportive and this is her true calling. I am so grateful I had the opportunity to work with her during my birth experience. In the future when my husband and I decide on having a second child I will definitely be signing up for one of Julie’s birthing and postpartum packages.

— Shantae Reid

This was my first pregnancy so to say I was scared was an understatement but from the very first meeting Julie created a sense of comfort that everything would go just fine. She was very knowledgeable through the whole 9 months and I could not have gotten through labor without her. Considering my birth did not go to plan with what I wanted Julie had made it clear that would be a possibility and we would just adjust accordingly. With every obstacle that was thrown or way Julie was there to help calm us and guide us through a healthy birth of our baby boy. To this day my family reflects on how much of a blessing she was during this stressful time. If you were ever unsure of needing a doula Julie is definitely the one you need!

— Jorden Wright

Being a first time momma, coming in late as a client. Julie was so accepting kind and made me feel comfortable even though we weren’t with each other long. Such a kind spirit was honest about how much hard work it would be doing this from home but she made sure to tell Me through it all I was doing great. Would recommend her a million times over thank you so much Julie for everything !!

— Niyah Freeman

I cannot say enough about Julie. She was absolutely AMAZING during our time with her. I didn't reach out to Julie until I was 36 weeks and I wish I would've done it sooner. She was so knowledgeable about everything and as a first time mom, made me feel much more relaxed about what my birthing experience could look like. She included my husband in each meeting we had with her and advocated for me when I finally went into labor at the hospital. My labor was long and tiring but I felt 1000 times better knowing Julie was there for us and helping coach me through everything. Thank you Julie for making me feel more at ease and making my labor experience so incredibly memorable.

— Yolanda Winston

The best decision we made during my pregnancy was hiring a doula, and meeting Julie specifically. I went from wanting a c-section to giving birth naturally. It made me wonder how I would have done it without her help, support, and encouragement. My labor was intense but she made me feel comforted that I actually was about to go for a delivery without epidural. I wish I did, but that is a story for another day. Anyway, thank you Julie for being an amazing support person to me and my husband throughout our pregnancy journey. We will forever and always be thankful for you for making our experience bearable and memorable.

— Mhay Brillantes

Julie was everything to us!!! When I say everything I mean everything support professionalism, on time. She was diligent checking in on us before, during and after our birth. Remembered important dates like appointments, baby showers, age anniversaries for our baby. Julie was tremendous support during the birth. Making sure we were both heard and also advocated and made sure we knew and understood exactly what was happening. She stayed to support us for over 10+ hours and when not there and if we needed her at any time she came immediately. Julie not only was a support system for my wife but also myself she made sure I also was okay. Simple questions like how are you doing went a long way. Julie was willing to run errands for us and even brought us lunch and groceries. Then made sure We always were on track to make sure we were prepared for the baby's arrival. She provided us resources in everything we asked or needed help on including postpartum depression and even sent my wife a book to help her through it all. We love Julie and are grateful the universe sent her as our doula and friend. We hope with our next child she is available so we can have her as our doula again.

— Shannel Watson

Julie is really amazing. An amazing Doula and an amazing person. She helped me delivery my baby girl through a non profit organization. I couldn’t have been more happier to have her there with me. She taught me so much all while supporting my physical labor as well. Extremely professional and punctual as well. Literally THE BEST DOULA AROUND!!! I will always and forever recommend her. ❤️

— Beauty nYc

I am starting off by saying that I started researching doula's pretty late into my pregnancy. As a matter of fact when I reached out to Julie I was already 32 weeks pregnant. But regardless she was open to working with me, even though we did not have as much time preparing for the arrival of my little girl. She always answered any questions I might have. I mentioned wanting to try additional pain management techniques that she was not familiar with and she dived in head first into getting familiar with them . Our prep time got cut short by the arrival of my baby girl 3 weeks early and Julie was nothing short of amazing in supporting my birth plan and helping with pain management during labor and delivery. She was there every step of the way, making sure my needs are met. I would not hesitate in hiring her again , and I will recommend her to anyone who mentions needing a doula or a support person during their pregnancy/ birth and beyond. Thank you Julie!

— Emma Guilmet

Coming into my third pregnancy, my first girl, I wanted to be all natural. My first thought was a home birth with a midwife and doula. I was halfway through my pregnancy and couldn't find a midwife to do a homebirth. I connected with Julie through her husband who is in the Army with me and we made plans to meet. I could not have been more happy! Julie is the sweetest and most amazing person. And as a doula, very knowledgeable and skillful in her duties. From the planning and prepping process, to the delivery and postpartum visits Julie was absolutely wonderful and I can not see myself getting pregnant again and not hiring her. Without the medication I felt everything and although the labor wasn't as bad as I thought, it was by no means easy, but Julie kept me calm and encouraged me the entire time (about 12 hours) and took time to teach my husband how to comfort me through the contractions and helped him though the process of stimulating our baby girl and cutting the cord. She was great with my sons as well, 5 and 7, who wanted to share in the experience as well. We could not have gotten through this without her. She is definitely a blessing to our family. And Lord willing, if we have another, she will be the first we call. I 100% recommend any mother in need of caring and understanding support during this beautiful time in life, to call Julie at Your Doual In Love!

— Esther

Julie is the most kind, open minded, genuine, prepared, loving, and talented person I’ve ever met. When I received services from her, I was absolutely appreciative. She is flexible with you, as well as patient. I would absolutely get services with Julie for all my children to come ! Myself and my family is thankful for Julie and her incredible work!
