“Juliana was my doula for my first pregnancy, and it’s one of the best things I did to prepare for birth. She is so much more than a doula, she is also a very genuine, caring, and intelligent person who made me feel so comfortable! She understands how to build a relationship and earn your trust, which is crucial during this time. I, personally, really appreciated her holistic wisdom and approach, while she was also able to offer knowledge from her midwifery experience as well. She happily answered all my (million) questions and eased my mind when needed. In fact, I went into my pregnancy with the desire for a natural birth, but I lacked the confidence in my ability and feared the unknown. Juliana helped guide, empower and give me the resources to deliver completely naturally, which I am forever grateful for. Lastly, Juliana goes above and beyond for her clients. She is always available when questions arise, and constantly furthering her certifications and techniques so that she can give the best care possible. She had just attended a Spinning Babies course prior to my birth, and so enthusiastically shared all that she had learned with me. I am positive this had a huge part in my extremely positive, natural delivery experience! I will hire her again, and I would recommend her over and over!” -Hannah

“I felt so open and safe with Juliana during my birth. As someone who wanted to give birth without anyone watching, but endured almost every intervention possible, she was an amazing advocate and ally. When the doctors offered suggestions, I asked for her opinion too. She always gave a few options in a way that was both matter of fact and nurturing. My labor went on for days; without her, neither my partner nor I would have gotten any rest. She took shifts with him and I was so grateful to have that kind of support. Juliana’s care for me and my family during the postpartum period has been genuine. She came over when we were blissed out from the birth and she connected with me again later on when reality was setting in. Both times, she held the space for me to say, think, and feel whatever I needed. She offered suggestions when I told her I was struggling mentally and she watched the baby so I could go to that first therapy appointment. I can’t imagine giving birth without Juliana’s warmth and knowledge of the physical and emotional aspects of the birthing process. She was such a beloved and necessary part of our story. I’m grateful to know her.”

“I feel very fortunate to have found Juliana. From the beginning, she was easy to talk to and had helpful insights about things I wouldn’t have known to ask. When complications arose at the end of my pregnancy, she was flexible and reassuring. She made the best day of my life even better by thinking of the little things (like taking photos that I will always cherish) so that my family and I could relax and bond. I would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone!“

"My husband and I are so thankful to have worked with Juliana as our doula during my pregnancy, labor, and delivery. She was there for us every step of the way and we are grateful for her kind and caring nature and for the patience that she had during a very long labor. This was my first pregnancy and since I had not gone through this before...I didn't know how vulnerable I would be and what kind of support I would need....I just knew I would need it. Juliana shared her knowledge and expertise while I labored at home by phone and during our time at the hospital. She supported me and my husband in making informed decisions throughout. Her insights, expertise and calm and gentle nature supported me in reducing my anxiety and in making the right decisions for myself throughout labor and delivery. Juliana continues to be a support to me weeks after having my beautiful daughter. I have still have a lot of questions and she continues to be there to answer them all." - Michelle

"I had the privilege of having Juliana as my doula for my pregnancy and delivery in December of 2015. She was very professional and knowledgeable about all things pregnancy and birth. I was planning and achieved a drug free VBAC delivery in a hospital setting and having Juliana was crucial to my success. She was there for me every step of the way with information and encouragement and made herself available by email, text, phone and in person meetings. During labor Juliana was very hands on, by my side the whole time and offered suggestions for pain management. She has been supportive in my postpartum recovery as well. Her passion and love for her clients and career is apparent. I would highly recommend Juliana to anyone!" -Ashley

"Enlisting Juliana as my doula was one of the best and most impactful decisions I made regarding my child's birth. She was an immeasurable source of knowledge, comfort, and judgment-free support during my pregnancy, throughout my labor, and into the postpartum period. From advice on handling prenatal anxiety to breastfeeding support, Juliana was there every step of the way. In the delivery room, she kept me comfortable, relaxed, and informed, and she gave my husband tools and tips to help me effectively cope with an intense natural childbirth; her presence was reassuring, calming, and helpful in the most practical of ways. If I am fortunate enough to have another child someday, I will absolutely be hiring Juliana again. Whatever kind of birth you envision for yourself, Juliana can facilitate it, and I recommend her without reservation. " -Beth
