Juliet Iacono - Birth & Postpartum Doula

About Juliet

While studying at UCLA, I fell in love with maternal and fetal health. My background in human biology laid the foundation for my knowledge of perinatal health and the social and environment factors that can impact one's birth experience. My additional background in art and architecture also informs my practice, inspiring the kinds of embodied experiences I want to guide clients through. My approach as a doula is rooted in science, continuous learning, and education. I believe that understanding your body and your clinical and non-clincal options can reduce fear, build confidence, and support true self-advocacy in any setting. I will never tell you how you should birth, but I will support you in discovering what feels right for you. My hope is that you feel wholey and completely yourself during this incredible moment! I trained at Bini Birth in Sherman Oaks in Spring 2025 and am currently working toward certification through DONA International. I serve as a Member-at-Large on the Board of the Doulas Association of Southern California (DASC), and I volunteer as a birth doula with Joy in Birthing Foundation and Harvest Home in Los Angeles.

What to expect

I offer comprehensive birth support, with a focus on prenatal education and preparation. Preparation typically includes basic childbirth and postpartum education, learning and practicing comfort measures for labor, creating your personalized “birth plan,” and giving you a space to ask any questions or process any emotions you may have around your upcoming birth. During your labor, I offer in-person care, and am available on-call from 37 weeks through delivery. Within the week after you give birth, we will meet to check in and discuss your physical healing, any emotions you may have, or questions about caring for your newborn.

Frequently asked questions

What happens at a prenatal meeting?

The foundation of an empowering, positive birth experience is preparation. Across two in-person prenatal meetings, I meet you exactly where you are. Together, we focus on childbirth and postpartum education, learning and practicing comfort measures for labor, creating a personalized birth plan, and making space for any questions or emotions that arise as you prepare for birth.

What happens at a postpartum meeting?

Birth is an intense physical and psychological experience. Within the first week after you give birth, we’ll meet to check in on your physical recovery, process any emotions that may be coming up, and address questions or concerns about caring for your newborn.

Can you help me connect with other resources?

A key part of my role as your doula is connecting you with the information and resources you need. Whether that’s hospital or provider recommendations, childbirth education, prenatal yoga, or acupuncture, I help you explore your options. And if I don’t already have the answer, I’ll do the research and bring you thoughtful, evidence-based choices.

What is your doula personality?

In your birth space, I aim to be a confident and optimistic presence. Wherever and however you give birth, my goal is to help you feel safe, supported, and fully yourself. I encourage you to take up space, to move, to rest, to make noise, whatever helps you feel most comfortable and grounded. If you have a partner present, I support them in supporting you. Ultimately, my role is to offer the kind of care that best meets your needs.

How does Insurance Billing work?

If you have one of the above listed healthcare plans (Kaiser Permanente, Health Net, LA Care), I would contract you through a billing agency, "Happy Baby Journey." Through this set up, you may be eligible for additional sessions beyond those listed in my standard package.
