I’m a Mother of 5 and have been a Birth and Postpartum Doula since 2005. I believe informed, supported families make confident decisions and that emotional safety matters just as much as physical care. My approach is calm, judgment-free, and deeply client-centered. I support families through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period with hands-on education, advocacy, and compassionate emotional support. I’m especially mindful of how past experiences, expectations, and birth trauma can shape the way someone moves through pregnancy and birth, and I strive to create a space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. I don’t believe there’s one “right” way to give birth. My role is to meet you where you are, help you understand your options, and support you in making decisions that feel aligned with your values. Whether you’re planning a low-intervention birth, navigating medical care, or processing a previous experience, I’m here to walk alongside you. When I’m not supporting families, you can usually find me staying active in the gym, learning more about holistic health, or soaking up time with my own family.

We highly recommend Julie! From day one, she brought such positive energy into our home, and her support during the early days with our newborn was truly invaluable. She was attentive, respectful, and incredibly helpful, making our transition into this new chapter so much smoother. Thank you so much, Julie, for everything you did to help us settle in!

She was truly a lifesaver for us. We hired her as both our birth doula and postpartum doula, and she consistently went above and beyond. She answered my questions at all hours, day and night, and always provided knowledgeable, thoughtful responses. If she didn’t know an answer, she took the time to research it thoroughly and followed up with well-informed guidance. Her communication was incredibly prompt, which made her extremely reliable. She is also remarkably proactive—I never had to tell her what needed to be done. She continuously looked for ways to help and always thought about how to make our lives easier. We initially planned to hire her for just the first month, but we quickly decided to extend her time with us because of how exceptionally helpful and caring she was with our newborn. She taught us many practical, realistic tips for caring for our baby and was always patient and observant. It was truly a pleasure to work with her, and we are so grateful to have had her support.

Julie was amazing. She taught us so much about how to care for our new little boy. Seems like every time she came we had more and more questions and every answer she gave helped tremendously. She was always on time, mostly early, and was a huge help around the house. She was thoroughly prepared and even gave us very helpful handouts. Big thank you to her for everything she did. Highly recommended!

We are blessed to work with Julie for my postpartum care. Julie is friendly and does not force any care suggestions to parents. She listens to our needs and concerns and tailors the service to meet our requirements. It's important for us to find someone we can trust for in-home service. We trust her with our little one. Julie is dedicated and kind to the baby. Our little boy loves her, and she gives us peace of mind to rest during daytime. If we ever have a second child, I would seek help again from Julie. She's amazing.

We had the joy of working with Julie from the time our daughter was 3 days old until she was 15 weeks, and we’re so grateful for her support during this special (and sometimes overwhelming!) time. As new parents, Julie helped us ease into our roles with confidence. She guided us in building healthy habits for our baby, supported us through sleep training, and created space for us to rest and even enjoy some alone time as a couple, knowing our little one was in such capable and loving hands. Her calm presence, experience, and thoughtful care made such a difference for our family. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again for temporary support or when we need an extra hand for a night out. Julie truly became a part of our village.

Julie is an absolute godsend. I cannot sing her praises enough. She is so confident in her abilities to care for babies and has given me all sorts of incredible advice and I thought I knew a lot already. She knows exactly what she’s doing, there’s no learning curve or training required - she is able to step right in and help. She is also such a supportive voice and listener through all the hard times and I honestly have no idea what I would have done without her. I cannot imagine anyone is more qualified to do this than her and I seriously cannot recommend her enough! Wish I’d had her with my first!

Julie was an invaluable resource for us with our first child. She helped us with feeding difficulties, taught us miracle swaddling techniques, and allowed us to get some much needed rest in those early weeks. She is completely trustworthy and will go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. We are very grateful!

I am so thankful for Julie! When I had my 2nd VBAC, she knew my goal of wanting to go completely unmedicated and she helped me achieve that! She was great support and encouragement during the process. I was in very hard active labor when I had my husband call for her assistance. I had all front labor and spent most of my time in the tub. She was so calming and reassuring during it all. We also used her for postpartum services. I've never had a postpartum doula before and she was amazing! We gave her access to our home before we got home from the hospital and she cleaned our kitchen and vacuumed the house so it was nice and tidy for when we came home to adjust to our 3rd baby. I would absolutely hire her again if we ever had another baby! You can not go wrong with hiring her!

If you’ve traveled the road of motherhood, you already know this reality. Contemplating motherhood? Do yourself a favor and have an exceptional team in place during pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum for those unexpected moments. Our biggest unexpected event where a doula became critical was discovering during our home birth that our baby was breech - folded in half and bum first. Too far engaged to turn, there was no way forward but out in that configuration. Determined to complete delivery naturally at home, Julie helped coach and encourage me through the toughest moments making it possible to proceed while the midwives were busy ensuring my and baby’s safety. Julie went far beyond her job description and automatically jumped into action with “non-doula” tasks such as carrying boiled water to warm up the tub and cleaning up the delivery goo and mess. There’s nothing she won’t do to make labor and delivery as smooth and as comfortable as possible. She’s totally reliable even at “off hours”. I would have never known she was coming off a night postpartum doula shift to attend my birth. She had ample energy to carry me through. I also have since used Julie’s newborn care services both at home and while away on business. Not just punctual, but always early - so important to relieve a new mom’s separation anxiety with a relaxed “handover”. I always came back to a super chilled, contented baby, photos of the day, and a log recording eating and sleep cycles. Not to mention, bottles cleaned and all baby stuff tidied up. No matter what stage you are in your pregnancy, I highly recommend Julie's doula as well as pre and postnatal care services. If you’ve already popped, congratulations and you’ll find that her postpartum doula services are excellent!

Julie is absolutely amazing! She was with our family for the first six months of our twins life and she kept us all sane. She is incredible with babies, responsible and one of the hardest workers I know. She is a mom herself and I trust her implicitly with my children. On top of being the best there is with babies and moms during the postpartum period, she is a great person!
