WHAT OUR FAMILIES HAVE TO SAY

There aren't enough positive adjectives in the English language to describe our experience with Julia. In my opinion, having a Doula is essential to conquering natural childbirth, especially as a first time mother. However, NOT all doulas are created equal!! Julia is truly gifted and is intimately involved every step of the way. She is not another passive, hands off healthcare worker.
