About Me
Who am I? Who is the devoted doula?
I’m Julia, a wife, and a mother to 3 children, living in Farnborough, Hampshire.
For as long as I can remember I’ve loved the thought of being about to provide support to mothers and families to enable them to feel educated and well equipped during their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journeys. I have been fascinated and intrigued by all things antenatal, birth, and breastfeeding related since before having my first child – I mean how incredible are women’s bodies?!
I’ve been fortunate enough to have had some lovely pregnancy and birth experiences, which is why I’m now eager to provide this positive and joyful perspective to you. By being your advocate and ensuring you feel listened to and heard. I will support YOUR choices!
It was last year, in the summer of 2023, something clicked, and I knew that being a doula was the career path I wanted to pursue. I wanted to be doing a job that has a real purpose and meaning – that is truly beneficial to people! So, I got researching and talking to different birth workers, and that’s when I came across the wonderful Developing Doulas with whom I trained at the end of 2023.
Another passion of mine is breastfeeding support, I trained as a peer supporter with the ABM (Association of Breastfeeding Mothers) whilst still feeding our second child at 13 months and pregnant with our third.
As a mum of 3 I can completely appreciate the worries of this life changing event but that’s where a doulas main focus is to be that unwavering support and guidance enabling the best journey into parenthood.
