Katie has been an essential part of our family’s journey, supporting us through all three of our births, and we truly wouldn’t want to have a baby without her! Her calming presence, incredible knowledge, and genuine care made each experience feel empowered and supported. My husband often says that partners need a doula just as much as the birthing person, and Katie embodies that perfectly—providing reassurance, guidance, and practical help for everyone involved. She creates a safe and supportive environment, allowing us to focus on the beautiful, transformative moments of bringing our children into the world. We are endlessly grateful for Katie and highly recommend her to anyone considering doula support. She’s truly a gift! Less

Julianne has been invaluable to our prenatal, birth, and postnatal care. We wish we had known about her for our first child, but are so grateful we discovered her services. The investment in her services ensures you the best possible care and outcome for you and your baby. I can’t imagine another pregnancy or birth without her by my side.

We worked with Julianne for the birth of our daughter. This was my first labor experience, so to say I was grateful for the education and support I received from Julianne would be a massive understatement. It's honestly hard to picture my labor without her being there offering essential ideas and support. My husband and I agree that it was so helpful to have an expert (especially such a personabl...

I highly recommend Julianne for doula services and feel thankful to have received such help in the most intense and vulnerable experience! Less

Katie Piccolo was fantastic! She brought a wealth of evidence based knowledge, a little bit of humor, and relaxing mechanisms before, during, and labor. Highly recommend!!

We worked with Katie for the birth of both of our daughters and I've told multiple people that outside the choice of parenting partner, Katie was the best decision we ever could've made in regards to childbirth. We were on the fence on whether or not we would "need" a doula for our first baby, and we are so grateful we made the leap. With our second baby, she was the first person I told about my ... More

We worked with Katie for the birth of both of our daughters and I've told multiple people that outside the choice of parenting partner, Katie was the best decision we ever could've made in regards to childbirth. We were on the fence on whether or not we would "need" a doula for our first baby, and we are so grateful we made the leap. With our second baby, she was the first person I told about my pregnancy after my husband! She made us feel prepared, supported, loved, calm, and all the things you want to feel leading up to, during, and immediately following birth. I know she has other clients and a family of her own, but she always made us feel like we were the most important thing in every moment of interaction. She answered my silly questions and made me feel so seen and validated. She gave my husband ideas and ways to support me during active labor with exercises and helped him understand what I needed during postpartum and what to expect. Perhaps most importantly, Katie was my biggest champion and advocate during labor and communicated my priorities to the hospital staff so that I always had what I needed during my stay. Katie has become part of our family, and I couldn't imagine having gone through any of this without her. Can't recommend her services enough! Less

Julianne and her team have been amazing to work with. They have always respond back to any requests promptly & have offered some great tips & tricks to help my wife & I be amazing first time parents. They have exceeded my expectations & I would recommend them to anyone!

5 stars times 1000! I am a first time mama, but I've been planning my birth and preferences for years. I knew just how hard it can be, especially postpartum, and I knew I wanted professional support. Friends and family are fantastic (if you have them), but professional doulas are the ticket for a supportive, family centric birth and a healthy postpartum. All of this to say, my husband and I searched far and wide for our doula support and we were divinely led to Julianne and her team. As soon as I met her on zoom, I told my husband she was the one. She is so grounded, understanding, and supportive of whatever birth experience YOU want. And she will advocate for you every step of the way. My birth ended up being completely unplanned once I was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia, but Julianne was there every step of the way, including daily check ins and a visit while we were in the NICU with our sweet preemie girl. Julianne led us to the midwives who delivered our baby and I know I got to have the vaginal birth I desired, instead of a csection, because of Julianne and that team. While staying in the NICU, Amanda Harras was also checking in on us daily to see if there was anything she could do or help with. As our postpartum doula, she was incredibly emotionally supportive and once we brought our girl home, she was right there taking care of us. Amanda is an absolute angel of a human. She is a natural caregiver, for mamas and babies alike, and she was also a listening ear for all the hard days. I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about our doulas from the collective and we will be returning to their services for our next babies 💜🤗💜🤗💜 Less

Julianne truly has a gift for this work and I would encourage anyone considering a doula to choose her and her team at NoCo Doula Collective. We could not be more thankful, especially with what ended up being a long and complicated birth. From classes ahead of time to checking in after our baby arrived to being there for every moment in the hospital, we could not have done this without Julianne and NoCo Doula Collective. Less

I was recommended the NoCo Doula Collective by the women’s clinic of northern Colorado, and am so happy I was. From our initial meeting, I felt so supported, and I continue feeling supported even 4 weeks postpartum. I used their “birth & boobies” package, and have learned so much as a first time mom from their classes, knowledgeable answers to all my questions, and lactation consulting. As a first time mom, I overthink everything, having no idea what I’m doing as it’s all new to me, but was relieved that April, a lactation consultant, could come to my home the very day I expressed concern over breastfeeding. She was extremely helpful and left me feeling at ease and confident in feeding my baby, something that stressed me out a bit at the beginning. I had the pleasure of having both Katie and Dana there for my labor and delivery, and although my labor was a whirlwind, they were such rocks to lean against the whole time with their warm presence, encouragement, knowledge, comfort, and stacked skill sets. These women went so above and beyond, doing everything in their power to help me through labor and ensure that myself, my partner, and my baby were in good shape physically and emotionally. I cannot imagine going through labor/postpartum without the service of doulas. Even their follow up care, helpful emails/texts, and the community of support you join after has been such a blessing in this season I’m navigating. I cannot recommend the NoCo doula collective enough. Less

I felt safe and supported through my VBAC delivery that I so desperately wanted. It was the best experience of my life that was following a very traumatic birth for me. The doula who we spent most of our time with during postpartum was Amanda’s Harras. I am in tears writing this, as her and I have built such a wonderful connection that I never expected. As women we can have a lot of difficulty asking for help or allowing to be helped. Amanda slowly and gently allowed me to bring my walls down and thrive in motherhood. Yes, of course she’s incredible at caring for my baby but she’s even better caring for the mom. We only have two visits left with her and I am going to miss her presence tremendously. I will always owe this positive birth and postpartum experience to Amanda and Julianne. Less

Both Julianne and Chloe were compassionate, exceptional communicators and provided much-needed support and kindness during the early postpartum period. Less

There really aren't words. Julianne is simply the best. Feel so grateful she came into our lives. She'll be your champion, confidant, thought partner, cheerleader, coach, comedian, and friend that knows the answer to all of your pregnancy/newborn questions or that knows who will know the answer. Her services are worth every penny.

We hired Julianne as our doula for our first baby and we had a wonderful experience. Julianne was compassionate, calm, and non-judgmental and supported us in making our own informed decisions (but also provided her expert guidance when needed or when we asked). She also provided many prenatal education classes which were invaluable and she provides post-partum support for moms with weekly Zoom meetings where we can discuss any questions/concerns with Julianne and other moms. Although Julianne's services are slightly more expensive than some of the other doula services in the area (at least from what we were able to find), the resources and expertise and support she provides is 100% worth it. I will definitely be recommending her to any friends looking for a doula. Less

Julianne brings wisdom, humor, and a calming presence to any sitiation - whether it be the throes of difficult contractions, emotionally charged late night text messages when a miscarriage completes at home, or being in the ultrasound room to find out if the baby had a heartbeat, or if we were facing another loss. She's part of our family and we are so grateful that's she's walking the journey with us. Highly, highly recommended!! Less

She is a very calming and capable person. As the dad, I felt she was very supportive to my wife, of course, but also helped to get me in on comforting and supporting my wife. I definitely needed some handling too and she did look out for my experience as well. She was also able to watch over my wife while I used the bathroom or ran out for bags from the car. Overall I think we would have been fine without her services but with Julianne in the room, everything went really smoothly and I never felt lost or unable to participate or help. Julianne has been helping us along the way with lactation and small questions post birth as well. She's basically like a substitute mom without the baggage and with up to date information on childbirth and a lot of empathy. All the support without the baggage. Less

She also has great rapport with hospital staff and has literally seen and experienced everything related to birth it seems. My husband also very much appreciated having her at our birth. For postpartum support, she helped him and I through our time in the NICU and starting the breastfeeding process after the NICU stay. No matter what your fertility journey and childbirth experience is like, you will be in great hands with Julianne. I give her my highest recommendation. She also gave me bereavement support during my miscarriages and fertility journey and for me this was hugely helpful. I had felt confused and lost and alone and she helped me navigate the healthcare journey and system as I was also dealing with my losses. I cannot put into words the meaningfulness of her support. ♥️ Less

Even if you don't want/need these services, she's there for all your new parent questions and concerns and never has any judgy demeanor. She is also well-connected within the community so she can offer suggestions and referrals for help in most anything you can think of. I can't imagine this whole process without her! Less

Julianne was recommended to me by my OB doctors and their clinic after learning I had lost a baby in an attempted home birth a year before, and I was pregnant again and dealing with anxiety as the birth was approaching. Julianne met with my husband, an immigrant coming from a much different culture, and me. She was kind, warm, gentle, and understanding... it was everything we needed as we navigated this experience that had been so traumatic for us previously. It felt like she held me gently in her hands as she set up hospital tours, which was nearly impossible because of COVID, and answered all kinds of questions. She was there for us afterwards as we struggled with breastfeeding and latching issues. Julianne is everything you'd ever want in a doula and so much more. I cannot recommend her enough. Less

Very supportive, super professional and experienced in providing techniques to make process smoother and support the parent both physically and emotionally! To be honest, I was not quite sure when my husband suggested to work with a doula for the delivery, because I was not quite familiar with doula concept/position and I was thinking we can handle it ourselves ! But I admit that working with her was the best decision we could make for our delivery! Specifically when things don’t move forward as expected! She helped and supported us heart-fully like a close family member! :-) We Highly recommend her, if you are a expecting parent and looking for a very nice and qualified doula!

I was hesitant at first, wondering what this person could do to help us. Let me tell you, hiring Julianne as our doula helped our delivery and the tail end of our pregnancy go as smoothly as a high risk pregnancy could. Julianne specifically gave me the tools as a man to be the best support I could be for my wife in the most difficult hours of her labor. Like an actual list of things to do! Which for me, as someone who has no experience with pregnant women, was a huge help. She is easy to talk to and made me feel at peace the first time we met. Her calming presence helped to make things go smoothly in the delivery room and when our birth plan changed drastically, she was a voice of reason putting my wife's fears to rest. She met with us before our birth to get to know what we needed and how to support each of us, both my wife and I, best. She was there in the hardest parts of our delivery as a helping hand and soothing voice. She follows up with you when you are home from the hospital to support you then as well. We had a small issue with a lip tie and she knew exactly who to connect us to in the community to get the help we needed! Her expertise, sense of humor, and caring nature are the qualities that make Julianne so great at her job. I am so glad we made the choice to hire Julianne!

Julianne came highly recommended from the labor and delivery nurses at my hospital and when we first met I knew she was the right doula for me. She has a calming presence like a friend you have known for ages. In our consultation, she told my husband “I’m here to make you look good.” What more could he ask for? During my delivery, Julianne helped me turn off the medical side of my brain and tune into my body. She was our liaison and confidant. She allowed me to be a birthing mother and not a doctor where I worked. I will never be able to thank her enough for her support during the birth of our rainbow baby. Furthermore, she has been there for me during the postpartum period checking in frequently while I learn to breastfeed. And to top it off, I will cherish the pictures she took during delivery forever! Less

Her support was like none other and I'm not sure I could have survived that time without her by my side. In early 2021 we became pregnant with our rainbow baby and entered into a very high risk pregnancy. It was a no brainer that Julianne would be my doula (I texted her the second I saw that positive test, knowing how popular she is). She walked with me through fear, anxiety, joy, excitement, pain, and the most beautiful moment when we met our rainbow baby boy. The birth and postpartum journey is not a straight line and rarely goes as planned. Having a knowledgeable advocate by your side, that is highly respected by the medical community, is paramount on the journey to parenthood. If you are a birthing or postpartum person, I urge you to hire Julianne to be your doula. Her knowledge of birth, postpartum, breastfeeding, and motherhood is priceless. I promise you that having her by your side is the most valuable investment you will make in yourself and your family. Less

Julianne's zoom classes were informative yet fun, and her presence during labor, not to mention the fact she knew everybody in the room, helped put our minds at ease. Follow up sessions on breastfeeding were perhaps the most helpful of all. We're extremely grateful to Julianne, and recommend her highly. Less

Julianne’s compassion, wisdom, and unwavering support helped create such a beautiful birth experience for our family, and really helped us to thrive & enjoy our “fourth trimester.” We are so thankful!

Writing this review brings up so much emotion because of the huge role Julianne played in my pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience. I knew at the start of my pregnancy that I needed a doula. I had a lot if fear surrounding birth, due to my two previous births and was set on attempting a VBA2C this time around. I knew I needed a person that could help me navigate through anxiety, an advocate, who is educated on all things baby/birth and someone to lighten the mood when things felt like too much. Julianne did all the above and so much more! Julianne never doubted my body's ability and in return I gained an inner strength I never knew I had. The moments leading up to my labor, she was the one reminding me how capable I was. She was the hype lady I needed! When she entered the room during my labor, I knew I was safe and felt at peace. My partner was grateful to have someone to help him navigate the labor process but especially loved that Julianne laughed at his jokes. I fully believe the Julianne was a crucial part of my successful VBAC. I can't imagine doing it without her. This birth was extremely healing for me, in ways I can't even begin to explain. Here I am now- 5 weeks postpartum and Julianne has played an important role in my healing process. Whether she is swaddling the baby for me, helping me with my belly bind (I highly recommend) or just sitting with me while I talk through things, without judgement- her postpartum visits are exactly what I needed. She IS truly amazing. I will forever be grateful for Julianne <3 Less

We had a great experience with Julianne. She is very knowledgeable and caring. I loved that she is also so data-driven, which always gave me guidance to choose what was right for me. Plus she has a super loving and motherly personality. Her presence calmed me down and her help resulted in smooth birth with no complications whatsoever

Working with Julianne before, during, and after our delivery was one of the best decisions we have ever made for our family. My first birth and postpartum experience was very difficult and I knew I wanted a completely different one the second time around. The education and support leading up to my labor provided by Julianne gave me and my husband confidence and tools to help make our unmedicated delivery goal a reality. Although I didn’t have Julianne for very long during my labor (baby arrived with 10-15 minutes of getting to the hospital!), her words and calming presence helped me through active labor and pushing my sweet baby earth side. Belly binding, newborn care support, and breastfeeding help were just a few of the amazing things Julianne’s postpartum services provided us after bringing our son home. Hiring Julianne as a part of our birthing and postpartum team was such an amazing investment and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for support. Less

Julianne was exceptional through entire process from pregnancy to birth and through postpartum. She prepares new parents through her classes that compliment classes offered through the Women's Clinic. She coached us through early contractions via the phone and would have come to the house for early labor if there was time - but instead met us at the hospital as we had a quick birth. She was amazing during labor. I have to say the biggest support she has provided is the postpartum support which there is no way to prepare you for. As a lactation specialist, she was extremely valuable in assisting through the breastfeeding process (which is harder than you anticipate) and connects you with other Moms who are in their 4th trimester to ensure you stay healthy - mind, body and soul. She is an amazing human being, light-hearted but intentional, listens to you without judgement and loves you through the process. Her mantra is "Doula for life!" and that, we truly believe. We can't recommend her enough - she is part of our family now. Less

One thing I really love is Julianne’s connections in the Northern Colorado area. Prenatal classes during pandemic- she’s got you ! Connecting mums via zoom- she facilitates it! Body works/ spinning babies - she has a contact. Prenatal depression Counciling - she had ideas. Infant sleep advisor - she has a contact.

My family has been so well supported through pregnancy and postpartum by the team at NoCo Doula Collective. Julianne was our doula for our first child, but we didn't utilize postpartum services then due to COVID. This time around, we knew we needed all of the support and it has been SO worth every penny. Having a birth AND postpartum doula has provided an additional person to check in with, ask questions and just vent. They understand the sleep deprivation and struggles that come with the newborn phase, and they treat you with kindness and respect and no judgement. We had 5 overnights with our postpartum doula Nikki and it was vital in giving everyone enough sleep to be able to watch and play with our oldest child. The daytime support has also been crucial in allowing us naps, helping us not get bogged down in all of the household chores that get pushed to the backburner, and giving my husband and I time to be together without the stress of working around the baby's naps or fussiness. Anyone who is pregnant or adopting....get a doula for support!! You won't realize how much you need it until that person is there, picking up the pieces around you and making you feel whole again.

Julianne was instrumental in the birth of our second child (successful in-hospital VBAC). I would not have had the positive and empowering experience that I did without her prenatal support and presence during labor (even though she would say, "But you did all of the hard work!"). After a traumatic first birth experience which led to an unplanned cesarean, I knew that I wanted to have a doula with me the next time. I wanted to give myself the best chance in having a successful VBAC. Julianne was the first doula that we met with and my husband and I both knew she was the right one for us. Her gentle demeanor, witty sense of humor, and no bullsh*t attitude were exactly what we were looking for. Over the course of my pregnancy, she helped me overcome fears of childbirth and pointed me to many other resources/people in the community who would support me in other ways (body work, VBAC support groups, etc.). She was (and still is!) always available by text/email/phone. I seriously don't know how she does what she does for so many families and still somehow manages to eat, shower, and sleep. When I went into labor at 2:45 am, she gave me some simple instructions for laboring at home. Two hours later, we met at the hospital and this, in my opinion, is where she really shines. Julianne's intuition for how to support a mom during labor is incredible. She was all at once quiet, calm, supporting me, supporting my husband, making us laugh, helping me refocus, getting me to move around, making sure I was comfortable, hydrated, and fed, AND somehow also taking photos (like, hundreds of photos). I'm not convinced she didn't have a couple of clones in the room with us. It was Julianne who helped me refocus on my breath, reminded me to relax/rest between contractions, and truly guided me through labor. Such an empowering experience and I'm so glad to have shared it with her. Thank you for everything, Julianne! #doulaforlife Less

Julianne was more than what we could have asked for to ease my anxiety for my third pregnancy. I had complications that were bearing down on my confidence to follow my heart on a natural birth experience. With the complications that had come up about halfway through the pregnancy, my husband and I agreed that a doula would help keep us focused. We searched and felt at peace with what Julianne would offer, this was just from her web site. Meeting her in person brought even more a huge sense of relief. Julianne has a way of being so calm and very educated. Her focus was on both of us throughout the pregnancy. I love that she continues a relationship with clients even long after the birth. We don't know if the outcome we were hoping for, to have a natural, calm birth experience, would have happened if she wasn't on our side encouraging us to follow our instincts. The support she provided for breastfeeding, as well, helped tremendously. We would recommend Julianne to anyone. She is by far the best doula who we know cares for her clients as if they were family.

We interviewed several doulas -- as soon as we got done meeting Julianne, we both looked at each other and knew she was the one. Her experience and compassion with pregnancy after loss shines through, and she helped us prepare a birth plan that honored our previous loss but also allowed for a more prepared and positive experience for our second baby. During the labor and delivery, Julianne was tremendously supportive, helping provide us with a variety of comfort measures, moral support, and well-timed humor. As a total introvert, I would never have imagined wanting or having a doula; however, after working with Julianne, I am all aboard the doula train. What I wasn't planning on was her amazing support after the birth of our son. We were on the breastfeeding struggle bus, and Julianne provided tremendous lactation support and was our biggest cheerleader (and comedian!) when morale was low. She made several postpartum visits to our home and was available via FaceTime and text message anytime we had questions (which was often!) or just needed a pep talk. I have sang her praises to anyone that would listen, and if any family or friends ever need a doula, I will wholeheartedly recommend Julianne. She has such love and passion for little babies and their families -- thank you Julianne! Less

Having Julianne as part of our birthing team was a decision I’m so grateful we made. I found her through numerous positive reviews and the minute we met we just clicked. She made me feel comfortable and relaxed, but also heard and valued. As a first-time mom, I really had no idea what I was doing, or how to prepare or what to expect and Julianne validated my experience and empowered me to feel strong and confident. She provided awesome support as we prepared for our baby’s arrival, including birthing techniques and practice doing them as a couple, she answered ALL of our crazy, out there questions. She was available for us to contact at any time and provided a lot of material from basic things like what to bring to the hospital, to discussing maternal mental health and self-care. When the time came, she was the one we called to figure out if this was it! and decide when to head to the hospital. Her presence there for me and my partner was invaluable. She had our back, literally! She was a strong, reliable and gentle energy in one of the most vulnerable and special times in my life. She even took pictures for us during the whole birthing time that I will treasure forever! Together the three of us brought our son into the world. Perhaps the most amazing thing about working with Julianne has been the support post-partum. She has provided me with compassionate and kind friendship as I transition into motherhood, in the most difficult moments and the joyful ones. The community of mothers that she has cultivated and nurtured is a testament to how many women, and partners, trust and value her experience and expertise. I can not recommend her services enough; our community is so lucky to have such a passionate doula in our midst. Thank you for all you so Julianne! Less

We were absolutely stunned at what great care Julianne offered to us in our time of need. Stephanie had once dreamed of becoming a Midwife/Doula and I feel as though we were giving her an opportunity to live vicariously through Julianne throughout this experience. She was the best Doula we could have ever asked for. It wasn’t just the visits before we got to the hospital, where she educated us, helped us set realistic expectations and allowed for us to get comfortable with her before the big day. It was not just the solace she offered us when we finally got to the hospital and things very quickly started to get scary, as our birth plan was derailed due to an induction and eventual c section. It was not just the after care, the text messages and phone calls and the attention to detail that she offered to my wife weeks after the birth. It was as simple as her spirit, her aura, her humor and energy. She would joke with us constantly, and bring not only a level of professionalism to the table but a light heartedness that was absolutely necessary as my wife and I sailed through the uncharted territory of first time childbirth. I remember we were in that dark hospital room, my wife was getting interrupted every hour by the nurses, we had been up for what felt like days. We were disoriented and exhausted and I kept trying to insist that I stay up and wait to see if I would be needed. Julianne quickly told me to go to bed, she insisted I get some sleep, even if it wasn’t much and that I would need it tomorrow. I reluctantly laid down and she sat down with her Ipad and stayed with us for at least 2-3 hours and made sure we were okay before she headed home. I felt so at ease, knowing we had a Doula there to just sit and wait, sometimes it is the smallest things that matter the most and in that moment no matter how small it was, it mattered a lot to us. Before we went in for the c section, I told Julianne and Stephanie that I wanted to go for a quick walk, to clear my thoughts and get ready for the moment and she very quickly said “as long as you come back.” I thought that was so funny, of course I wasn’t going to run off, but she allowed me the space I needed to mentally prepare. I think when it comes to her line of work, she is of course there to support the mother, but she did an amazing job supporting me as the father too. Before we went into the surgery room. We were waiting outside in the hallway. I was so nervous I made up a clever excuse that I couldn’t sit down because I thought my gown would rip from how poorly it fit, I secretly just wanted to pace and sitting down was not an option. As I paced back and forth in that hallway, we discussed life, children, family and friendship and it was the perfect distraction for me in that moment. Attention to detail, love, passion and experience are some of the key characteristics that make Julianne the great person and Doula that she is. I am so happy we chose her. I am so happy we had her by our sides throughout the entire experience: to help my wife feel validated, to help her emotionally, to give advice and keep me informed when the doctor said something that I questioned that gave me the confidence I needed to stand up for my wife when things got tough. We had her come to and from the hospital at least 4-5 times and she said something along the lines of “I have a problem leaving sometimes, so please let me know if you want me to go home,” I thought that was so kind, and really at the end of the day, what else can you ask for!? We of course had no problems with her being there, she was our rock, but she is also selfless! We needed her. Even when she was just as exhausted as we were, she was there and ready to help. This was such an emotional roller coaster and I am glad we had her as our engineer making sure the ride was safe, controlling the chaos from behind the scenes and giving us the confidence that we needed to enjoy the excitement of that roller coaster. Thank you Julianne, we are so very grateful for your support. Less

With my first child I had a scheduled c-section due to my son being breech, and I knew right away that I would want to do a VBAC. After researching factors to improve VBAC success rates, I quickly started to realize the value of a supportive doula. I had no idea how much of an invaluable resource of support Julianne would become for myself and my husband not only before and during labor, but in the post-partum period as well. Julianne was there to listen and learn about our previous experiences and what we wanted out of this birth. She helped us think and plan for things we had not considered even though we had already been through pregnancy and raising a baby once before. We loved the relaxation techniques Julianne taught us using the rebozo, which we used during pregnancy and labor. Beyond our scheduled prenatal appointments, Julianne was always in touch checking-in and available to help out in any way. She even went above and beyond with a care package when I strained my abdominal muscles working at the end of my pregnancy. Julianne was there for us in a supportive and non-judgmental way as our birth plan changed, and she helped me navigate through our options when the stress and pain of labor were clouding my thoughts. We were lucky enough to have a successful VBAC, and my husband and I could not have imaged being successful if Julianne was not with us. In post-partum Julianne was there checking in on how I was doing, taught me the Bengkung Belly Binding, and supported me when I had unexpected difficulties with breast feeding later on. Julianne really cares about women and their families, and wants to support them and create a village in which women can support each other. I am so grateful to have had Julianne as our doula, and to be part of the extended mother support group that she has created around her. I could not recommend Julianne highly enough! Less

Julianne provided just the right support I needed for my little ones delivery. As a first time mom with no immediate family in town, Julianne's support was not only getting me through the the physical delivery but also providing emotional and mental support during pregnancy and after delivery. I loved that she took the time to learn about what kind of support i needed thus creating a very custom experience for me. She was great support for husband too! She got me through the hard times of pregnancy/delivery and if I had to do it all over again, I'd still choose her! Less

Julianne was amazing to receive support from! Very knowledgeable and professional and helped us think about what we needed to to prep for birth. It was reassuring to text for questions and when pregnancy became a little more challenging. The robozo was great and nice to be taught how to use it.

Julianne was amazing to receive support from! Very knowledgeable and professional and helped us think about what we needed to to prep for birth. It was reassuring to text for questions and when pregnancy became a little more challenging. The robozo was great and nice to be taught how to use it. Labor plans changed the night labor started, life happens, and Julianne went along with the flow, providing what was needed for support at the time! She was encouraging and positive. She seemed to always be right there with what was needed. It was also very helpful to have someone who gently reminds and directs you to ask what you need. My husbands response was "Julianne was great!" My mom was around for about half the time and told us she understood us wanting to work with a doula and how she was just always there with what seemed to be needed. Less

Julianne was an amazing support to both myself and my husband when we had our son in August 2015.

Julianne was an amazing support to both myself and my husband when we had our son in August 2015. She was intuitive and always seemed to know what would help me get through a contraction or make me feel more comfortable. Through her compassion, her humor and her knowledge, she helped me through labor. She continues to this day to be an asset for information from breastfeeding to sleep training and beyond. I highly recommend Julianne and if you are on the fence about hiring a Doula, get off of it and take the leap! You WILL NOT regret it!! Thank you Julianne for being such a big part of the most important day of our life! Less

Julianne was a huge help with the preparation for and the birth of our son Henry. Julianne was able to go through some of the fears and expectations that surrounded a home birth.

I honestly didn’t know what to expect at first, but Julianne was able to talk with us and put some of these fears to rest. The Robozo was very helpful for Sarah, and I’m glad Julianne showed these techniques to me. During the labor and birth of our son, Julianne was right there with us all. She provided great coaching, techniques, and helped keep Sarah and I fueled for the long endeavor. I am so glad she was a part of our journey and I look forward to working with Julianne again in the future! Less

My husband and I were expecting our first and basically had no clue what to expect. My sister-in-law who has five kids, recommended a doula , and at the time we had no clue what a doula even did.

My husband and I were expecting our first and basically had no clue what to expect. My sister-in-law who has five kids, recommended a doula , and at the time we had no clue what a doula even did. All I knew was that I wanted to have as little medical intervention as possible. I have heard so many horror stories of "bad birth" experiences where patients had to fight for the birth they wanted. Enter the idea of a doula to be a birth support person. We interviewed several doulas (think online dating) and when we finally met with Julianne via FaceTime we knew instantly she was a perfect fit for us, perfect blend of knowledge, great sense of humor, and a calming presence (we gathered all that through FaceTime!) I am a researcher by nature, but being pregnant and a first time Mom searching things on the internet tends to lead you down a rabbit hole of horror stories and negative experiences. Julianne helped significantly with providing evidence based information and resources which completely helped alleviate my anxiety. She helped us create a simple Birth plan and was able to help (me especially)  in being open and flexible to different outcomes. Julianne was a great source of information in our prenatal appointments, she really listened to our concerns and took the time to answer any and all questions we had. I know she had other clients but I always felt we were her priority. She gave us so many tools to help us confidently enter into labor and parenthood. Julianne was available to answer questions/provide support via text, phone, or in person if we needed it. Let me tell ya (especially first time mamas), that last few weeks of pregnancy is a tough one to get through, but Julianne helped me with providing positive strategies to keep that mindset focused on having a beautiful baby. Our birth experience ended up completely different than I had hoped, I ended up having to be induced (not part of "the plan") and after 15 plus hours of un-medicated labor I ended up getting an epidural (also not part of "the plan). Instead of it being traumatic, both my husband and I were able to be flexible and go with the flow. We could think through decisions and never felt pressured to do something we were not comfortable with. All that prep with Julianne paid off! Having her there was so important, she was such a calm presence and really helped both my mom and husband support me in the best possible ways. We also hired Julianne for postpartum care, my husband and I debated whether we really needed it (I mean we are put together adults,how hard could it really be?). Holy cow, what a blessing it was to have her here, because having a newborn is hard! She helped us gain the confidence we needed with our beautiful, tiny, and terrifying little newborn. Whether it was teaching us how to swaddle and baby wear, how to use the snot sucker (the Nose Frieda),  making sure we were eating, bringing coffee (100% necessary), helping give me time for self care (how the hell do you shower with a newborn?), providing breastfeeding support, or helping us to establish a routine. It made those early days manageable and truly gave us confidence that we could really do this parenting thing. Julianne Curtis is authentic, professional, unbelievably personable and sincere.  She provided great insights, resources, and humor. Julianne helped my husband and I enter into parenthood with as much grace as possible. We highly recommend Julianne, it is the best money we have spent! Less
