About Julia

Julia has been supporting parents and new families in newborn care, postpartum healing and birth for the last 15 years.

As a certified birth doula, postpartum doula, and Newborn Care Specialist, Julia takes a holistic approach to supporting her families. Every family is unique, and benefits from different kinds of support.

So whether it is night time support to let parents sleep knowing their babies are being cared for, sleep conditioning to lovingly help babies get into a sleep/wake rhythm, educational support from umbilical cord care to cradle cap, Julia works to ensure that new families step into parenthood with confidence and peace of mind.

Beyond the world of newborns and parenting, she wears multiple hats as an actor, writer, and yogi. These creative pursuits not only enrich Julia’s life but also contribute to her ability to connect with and support the families she works with.

With a heartfelt belief in the power of nurturing and guidance during those precious early moments of parenthood, Julia is on a mission to provide unwavering care that eases the transition into parenthood and leaves a lasting positive impact on the families she have the privilege to assist.

“Working with Julia completely changed my pregnancy experience. She took me from a place of fear and nervousness to a place of excitement and embracing this miraculous journey. She completely opened up my mind to whole new ideas and switched my framework. Not only was her loving support and knowledge invaluable, she created the space for my husband to support me in the best way that he could. I am forever grateful for having her guiding support as we walked down my pregnancy and birth experience.”

“Having Julia in our home in the weeks after our son arrived was truly a breath of fresh air! She was so helpful in getting us all into a new rhythm together and in the process of discovering who we are as parents.  Her knowledge, experience, intuition, and huge heart put us at ease and really helped us savor our postpartum period in a way that wouldn’t have happened without her support and presence. We highly recommend having Julia as part of your care team!”

“Julia is making an incredible difference here in our family. Her sincerity and empathy are beyond measure, and what I would consider in medicine to be the “X” factor, and she has it ."”
