She received her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Vassar College. Julia is a native New Yorker who has traveled and lived in Israel, Morocco, Australia, and Europe.

    Julia was an unbelievable support during my pregnancy and birth of my son. I could not imagine how my birth would have been without her. She was the exact calm and tranquil voice I needed at exactly the right times. ... Thank you sooo much Julia!! you're a wonderful soul.

    Julia is exttremely dedicated to her work. We had an initial meeting by Skype and agreed to work with her right away. Her energy was great and her expertise was exactly what we needed. ... She has since been in touch and again, helped us with many local resources for new parents.

    Julia is an amazing doula and person. She made such a difference in our birth experience and provided the extra strength needed for first time parents to be. Julia's support gave us the confidence to approach our daughter's birth not with anxiety but with joy and excitement. We had so many questions initially and during the process which she always answered quickly and confidently. Her warm, caring nature always kept us at ease and truly allowed us to enjoy our daughter's birth.
