Hi, I’m Julie Baumgartner, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with more than 30 years of healthcare experience and a Master’s in Healthcare Administration.

I can’t say enough good things about Doulas of Jacksonville, especially Sarah. She supported us through the birth of our first baby in February 2026, and having her there made such a difference. From the start, she was always available for questions and helped us think through everything—from birth plans to all the “what ifs.” I had hoped for an unmedicated birth, but due to some health concerns, we ended up scheduling an induction at 40 weeks. Sarah really helped me shift my mindset, prepare for different outcomes, and feel confident even when last-minute changes came up. When labor came, it was fast and intense, and she was incredible. She guided my husband with counter-pressure and they worked together to help me through contractions, which made things so much more manageable. Even after we got home, she continued to check in, answer questions, and support us as we adjusted to being new parents. We’re so grateful for her and would absolutely work with her again. I’d recommend Doulas of Jacksonville to anyone expecting—it truly made our experience so much better.

Please note, if you message me here I might not see it. Please text me or send an Instagram DM. Thank you. My name is Gaby, I am a nurse, doula and mother, located in Jacksonville, FL. I have Christian/ Catholic values, and I believe every baby is a miracle. I am an advocate to bring holistic, natural and traditional birth methods to mothers from the high risks population to regular. I believe birth and labor are an invitation to live safe, goodness, truth and beauty, and if the mother is not invited to live that, something is wrong! Get a doula like me to educate you& your family and take all your fears away! I am used to water births, home births, OR births, birthing centers, hospital births, really everything! I will help you build the birth plan of your dreams! I am passionate about bringing strength to difficult moments and I love to assist with breastfeeding, and will go above and beyond to make that happen if that’s your desire! I also love photographing the delivery moment. I also offer postpartum services to help families adapt to the newborn phase. I also love chocolate. Hope we can connect!

I am so glad that I had Christin M as my doula, both times I gave birth. She is knowledgeable, calming, steady, and supportive. The support I received while pregnant and during labor/delivery was just what I needed and my husband and I were so glad to have her on this journey with us.
