POSTPARTUM DOULA EXPERIENCES
The early days and nights after bringing your baby home can be some of the most beautiful — and some of the most overwhelming. Whether you’re recovering physically, adjusting to life with a newborn, or simply trying to get some much-needed rest, you don’t have to do it all on your own.
​
As your postpartum doula, my goal is to bring a sense of calm, care, and confidence into your home during this tender transition. From soothing your baby so you can sleep, to offering gentle guidance, emotional support, and reassurance, I’m here to nurture the whole family as you find your rhythm together.
​
Below, you’ll find stories from families I’ve had the honor of supporting during their postpartum journeys — their kind words are a testament to just how meaningful it can be to have someone by your side through these precious early weeks.

"Julie was our post partum doula with our third baby and worked with us for about 3.5 months and I can't say enough about her; she is incredible. We hadn't worked with a night doula with our first 2 babies, but I wish we had! The entire family loved and felt comfortable with Julie from the moment we met her, and she was obviously incredible with our daughter. When Julie would walk into our house I felt like there was just a peacefulness that settled over all of us and it made such a difference in my postpartum experience knowing that I could get some rest and my daughter was in the best hands. I never had any sort of postpartum meltdown or tears with this third baby and I truly believe it was because I was getting good sleep. In the early days she'd gently wake me to nurse and later on I was able to pump before I went to bed so she'd have milk for the night feedings and I could get a full nights sleep. At my request Julie also gave me lots of tips about how to time naps and prepare for sleep training (because I'd forgotten it all from my first two, ha!). She delivered her advice and tips in the most thoughtful way and while she was confident in her perspective she was never pushy and never made me feel judged. By the time our contract was done we were fully ready for sleep training and my baby slept a full 12 hours almost immediately. More than all of this though I now consider Julie a friend. She has 4 kids herself and you can tell she is an amazing mom. I feel like I could always call her for advice now, whether about a baby or a big kid or a teenager. If you are considering a postpartum doula (which you should if you can!) hire Julie -- she is incredible!!"

"I had an urgent c section and was not prepared for the amount of pain or lack of movement I would have after birth. While in the hospital, my husband looked at me and said we needed help ASAP. I immediately got a hold of Julie and she was my fairy godmother! With less than 24 hours notice, she had a postpartum plan for me! Julie and Lauren were amazing. I was able to rest and recover without having to worry. They treated my newborn baby as their own by giving her the snuggles and care that she needed while I slept. Julie also constantly checked in on my recovery and had helpful tips for my pain and discomfort. I truly think I recovered as quickly as I did because of Julie and Lauren! I am forever grateful that they were able to come over and take care of the baby and myself!"

"From the moment I met Julie I could sense her warm and confident personality and it felt so comforting to me as I prepared for my third c-section. Having someone like her in my corner while in such a vulnerable state meant the world to me. I had a traumatic birth experience with my first child so I had a tremendous amount of anxiety and Julie was there to emotionally support me every step of the way. She came a couple days after my baby was born and she supported me by sleeping next to me in case I needed anything. From 9pm-6am she timed all my pain meds, she would wake when my baby needed feedings, she took care of all diaper changes and would stay up and rock my baby whenever she needed extra time for burps. Everything that Julie did those nights allowed me to get extra rest both physically and mentally. She was incredible. So attentive and she felt like a friend that I’d known for years. She’d fold the baby’s laundry, she even made me an immune boosting tincture that still make whenever anyone in the family isn’t feeling well. I always think of julie. She is full of wisdom and was so patient with me when I felt insecure or doubted myself. Julie has an uplifting spirit and that is exactly what every woman needs when giving birth and postpartum. We love Julie and she will always hold a special place in our hearts."

"Julie has been an absolute GOD send in one of the most challenging times of our lives being new parents! I hadn't sought out a doula before birth, thinking I was going to be fine from the courses I took and books I've read. But when we were in the thick of it all, I quickly found myself grasping at straws and for some sort of stability and sanity and Julie was both of those things for me and more! If you are in the market for a doula for your postpartum and pregnancy look no further. Julie has been available around the clock to answer ANY question I may have (no matter how small), she has helped get our little boy onto a great schedule and he is thriving now at 12 weeks old, and has also helped me with my breastfeeding journey. She is helpful, kind, patient, knowledgeable, and SO lovely as a person. In a time where as new parents you feel alone, Julie is there to support you, lift you up, and is just what you need. She truly feels like a member of our family and I am so grateful for her!"

I had the absolute joy of having Julie by my side during the postpartum journeys with both of my daughters first in 2022, and again in 2024. From the moment she walked through our door, it was like a wave of calm, comfort, and joy entered our home. Julie has the most positive, radiant energy. Being around her is like basking in a warm hug.
​
She has an incredible gift for gently talking me down in those early, stressful days when I found myself overwhelmed by all the little things. Her advice is always practical, thoughtful, and full of real-world wisdom that only someone with her experience and heart can provide.
​
Julie goes above and beyond in every way… whether it’s showing up with her famous baked goods (yes, she’s an amazing baker!) or offering the kind of emotional support that truly lifts your spirits when you need it most.
To me, Julie is like the super mom I aspire to be. She’s more than a doula, she’s become like family to us. I genuinely believe God placed her in our lives, and I feel so deeply blessed for that. Her presence during such a vulnerable and transformative time made all the difference in my mental and emotional well being. I truly can’t imagine those early days without her.
