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.
