Hi! My name is Julie! My husband and I have been married for over 30 years and we have two grown children. As someone on the “other side” of parenting, I know how important support was for us in building a strong foundation for our family. I became a Certified Doula and Childbirth Educator because I have a profound respect for pregnancy and parenting, and a strong desire to help families off to a great start as they welcome a new baby!

You’ll have access to the Evidence Based Birth® Parent’s Site, with content videos, an extensive pdf library, and weekly Zoom calls with your mentor and class. You’ll be ready to meet your birth with confidence!
