Your Philadelphia Doula

Hi I'm Julia, Your Philadelphia Doula! 

I’m a Philadelphia native and avid birth enthusiast. For over five years, I have supported women throughout pregnancy, birth and postpartum! I believe that birth is a normal, natural, and healthy function of the body and it should be celebrated with patience and care. Women are unique and birth is no different! You deserve to have a support system that values that uniqueness and encourages you to trust your instincts for a positive birth experience. Certified through DONA International & The HypnoBirthing Institute, I hope to journey with you throughout your pregnancy and birth. ​

 

When I’m not doula-ing, you can find me at your local thrift store, reading a good book, baking bread or watching historical documentaries.

MY PHILOSOPHY

I believe that birth is a normal, natural and healthy function of the body. Birth is not an illness or something that needs to be highly managed. With a bit of doula support and education, birth can be the most empowering experience of your life!

"Hiring Julia as my doula was one of the best decisions I could have made for my pregnancy!

"She was incredibly thorough whenever we met to discuss my birth plan and really wanted to make sure that I had the labor/birth that I was the most comfortable with! She even recommended the birth center that I ended up giving birth at after I told her what I had envisioned, and I could NOT be more grateful, as I ended up having my perfect, dream unmedicated labor and delivery of my beautiful son there."
