Jules is amazing. This was my first time having a midwife and not a bunch of doctors so I wanted a doula for a little extra support. Jules' prenatal and post natal care should really be the normal and the standard. I felt like she and her massage therapists were a part of my little family. She's extremely knowledgeable and was there every step of my pregnancy from the first time we met. She was very hands on and made sure I had all of the support that I needed. We had a big healthy baby boy! Thank you so much Jules!

My wife didn’t use a doula during her first pregnancy, and I can’t even begin to explain the difference that Jules made for the birth of our second son. We took Jules’ hypnobirthing class together and were surprised at how much we didn’t know, even after having a child. As a husband, I felt helpless during the grueling 27 hours of labor my wife endured when our older son was born. Taking the hypnobirthing class and getting Jules’s coaching as our doula helped me be much more active and supportive in the second pregnancy and labor. My wife gained a lot of confidence through the techniques

Jules is incredible! I felt an instant level of comfort with her when we first met, and we were so grateful to have her as our Doula.
When things got a little hectic as labor started, she kept us grounded and focused. She provided tremendous positive and reassuring support before and during our birthing experience. It was very important that our laboring experience be as calming as possible, and Jules was a part of making that happen.
My only regret is that we have not made the time to see Jules more post-partum!

Having gone through post-partum depression with our first baby for roughly a year, Jules suggested placenta encapsulation with our second. I am so grateful we decided to do it this time around! Although I still have symptoms of PPD, I can tell the placenta encapsulation greatly improved my mood and ability to adapt to stress during the first few weeks of the 4th trimester. My body seemed to heal quicker, and my milk supply was amazing. I also have the placenta tincture to help me now months after baby arrived. I use the tincture in a hot cup of tea in the morning when I wake up feeling sad

Jules is a must have!!!! If you can hire her, do it!
We love her and the time she gave us was over and beyond what anyone else offers. There were times before we were even in labor that she came to our house and answered our questions and calmed my wife. She did hypnotherapy to help my wife's anxiety and it made a difference. We were very nervous about our fist baby and she always had a very calming energy for both of us, this was huge during labor. Jules made me feel like everything was going to be okay, even during some questionable times. We worked together and she always gave me things I could

If you are looking for doula than look no further! Jules is an absolute delight and made my birthing experience truly amazing. She was always available to answer my many questions and talk through any concerns I ever had. Everyone at the hospital adores her and was thrilled to see her coming in to be with us during my birth. Her light energy is contagious and a must for any birth.

Where to begin with Jules? We booked her doula services AND took her hypnobirthing course, and it's one of the best decisions I ever made.
Doula services:
Beyond regularly-scheduled meetings and consultations, Jules was accessible by phone and text throughout my pregnancy for questions and advice. She was so knowledgeable, kind, and easy to talk to. I never felt like I was a bother when reaching out to her.
Hypnobirthing:
This course is a game-changer. As a first-time mom, all I knew about birth was what I had seen on movies and TV. I never knew there could be another way. In this five-week

Jules is an amazing doula and a wonderful human being. She is an amazing, kind soul - I highly recommend working with her. She helped me out so much during my pregnancy and was wonderful during the birth. She's very experienced and knows what she's doing.
First, we moved across the country to AZ when I was about 7 months pregnant. Jules was tremendously helpful in connecting me with local resources (like doctors, holistic chiropractors, acupuncturists etc) when I was new to the area. This was truly a blessing and helped me have a positive last few months of pregnancy.
Jules was also excellent

I interviewed TONS of doulas starting when I was 8 weeks pregnant and my fiancé and I immediately felt comfortable with Jules. Her overall calming demeanor, knowledge of the valleys hospital systems, and vast network of resources really bring a huge amount of value to the doula experience. Her weekly zoom calls help mamas all over the country feel connected even in the most isolating of times. She also offers hypno-birthing classes that my partner and I are excited to partake in.

When we found out we were pregnant, my first thought was to find a doula. Jules was recommended to us by my very particular OB, which was a ringing endorsement from the start. After meeting Jules, we were so much more confident about our journey to become first time parents. She is an absolute wealth of information and knowledge about the birthing process, as she has been instrumental in delivering so many babies under so many different circumstances and to so many different types of parents. We really wanted someone with us to help us understand our options and help us make the best choices

To alleviate the anxiety of giving birth for the first time, I attended Jules’ 5-week hypnobirthing course with my boyfriend. The idea behind hypnobirthing really resonated with me, and I soon felt at ease and even empowered with idea of giving birth.
Jules taught me how to keep a calm and positive mindset when in labor, what to pack in your bag, what to expect at the hospital, how your partner can help you during the process, what to expect if you are induced, ways to naturally encourage labor, etc. It took away a lot of my anxiety of the unknown.

Jules is a gentle soul with the most positive attitude and caring heart. I truly don't think I'd have been able to accomplish the birth I wanted without her by my side, advocating for me. Her personalized touches made all the difference. She took a few photos for us during the birth of my son, wrote up a personalized birth story, visited our home personally to drop off my encapsulated placenta pills, and checked in via text/phone calls often. She served as my doula, taught our hypnobirthing class, catered to my husband throughout the labor in addition to catering to me, and provided massages

During my first pregnancy, Jules was recommended by the midwives at Willow Birth Center as a hypnobirthing instructor. My husband and I took her five-week course and were both inspired and prepared for the natural delivery of our baby boy, thanks to Jules' guidance. She has a calm demeanor, which puts mamas and daddies at ease. Jules also welcomed us to join future hypnobirthing classes in preparation of the birth of our second baby.
Additionally, Jules encapsulated my placenta, a service I highly recommend to all new mothers. I did not experience postpartum depression and my milk came in

Jules has become a part of my family. I am a first time mom and Jules definitely made pregnancy ten times better for me and my baby boy. The tools she gave me to prepare for birth were amazing and definitely helpful. Jules answered every text and call - no matter the time. She answered every question and made me feel confident that when it came to have my baby boy I was ready. My son was a week and two days past his due date when I went to the hospital. Jules walked me through the hole 24 hours of being in labor. She held my hand. She reiterated that I was doing great and made sure I knew everything

Jules was our hypnobirthing teacher & we can't say enough good things about her! Over the 5 week course, both my husband & myself learned so much not only about how to have an incredible birth experience but also just how to prepare our minds & bodies for labor. We are so grateful for how well she shared the hypnobirthing tools with us & highly recommend her! Our birth experience was even better than we could've imagined & she was a huge part of that!

For those reading this considering a doula or those skeptical of the idea, I can relate. When my wife brought this idea to me early in our pregnancy, I was skeptical. Then when she said the doulas services are using a method called "hypnobirthing," boy did I not want to touch this with a ten foot pole. But upon meeting Jules and upon her explanation of why this method is important to the process, my guard began to come down. It's all about mind over

The best doula in AZ! Can I just post that I am so happy we found Jules and selected her to be our doula. We researched extensively and from the moment my family met you we were so impressed with your eagerness to help make our birth as beautiful as possible. Jules went above and beyond before during and after my birth. I truly can't thank you enough! We also took the hypnobirthing class which was invaluable. Even a year after my birth Jules is always willing to help and available to answer any questions (i.e. help get me information on breastfeeding assistance, massage, lend an ear, etc.

Jules is a must have for your birth! She was there for me along every step of my pregnancy and eased my anxiety over my delivery. Hypnobirthing truly made my natural delivery everything I hoped it would be and I could not have done it without Jules' nurturing support. Jules came to my home to privately teach me hynobirthing and it made all the difference in my delivery. I felt like I was prepared for my delivery and was no longer fearful. Jules also includes a prenatal massage in her doula package and it was one of the best massages that I have ever had!

Jules was my doula for my 1st birth. And I am so glad we chose Jules to be apart of the birth experience for our 2nd child. She was such a calming presence during our child's birth. She was able to coach me through contractions in a way that was supportive but not distracting.
Jules was also a huge asset to my husband and equally supportive and encouraging to him. She was so informative and never pushy and really listened to how we wanted to stick to our birth plan. I would also commend her on her ability to work with hospital personnel.
