Julie Roberson truly made all the difference in my birthing experience. From the very beginning, Julie went above and beyond. We met 4 times prior to delivery, where she provided invaluable education on birth planning, labor expectations, childbirth, and breastfeeding. Knowing I could call or text her anytime throughout my pregnancy gave me immense peace of mind.
When I had unexpected complications and was admitted to the hospital abruptly, Julie came immediately. She stayed by my side through a long 2-day labor, constantly suggesting helpful birthing positions and offering continuous comfort. What I appreciated most was her professional boundaries and empowering support—she never interfered while the doctor was speaking, but she always debriefed with me afterward to help me process information and make informed, confident decisions.
When my labor ultimately led to a C-section, Julie was right there in the operating room. Even more comforting was that when the baby and I had to be separated briefly, Julie stayed with my newborn so they were never alone. To top off an incredible experience, she provided me with beautiful, thoughtful keepsakes—a placenta mold forming the word "LOVE" and an imprinted placenta painting that I will cherish forever.
Julie is compassionate, incredibly skilled, and deeply supportive. If you are looking for a doula who will advocate for you, guide you, and support you through every twist and turn of pregnancy and birth, I cannot recommend Julie Roberson highly enough!
