About Julianna

my Journey to Birthwork

Growing up, I have always been fascinated by birth and human development through a physiological and spiritual framework. Through my acedemic and personal life, I began learning the ways these complex passions of reproductive health enriched my life.

​

I pursued my love of mindful movement through dance and yoga. I focus my teaching with girls, women and expecting mothers. During my pursuit of an Anthropology and Education degree, I began my training as a birth and postpartum doula, prioritizing genuine connection and evidence based care. Since then I have broadened my expertise to full spectrum care, including preconception.

​

I am connected to my Jewish ancestral roots and incorporate traditional forms of healing in my offerings such as energetic healing, bodywork, and herbal remedies.

I work with all people from all backgrounds.

​

I am deeply grateful to all of those who came before me and those who currently offer their support to help me get to and sustain where I am today. The fierce women in my life influence the work I do today.

 

I am always striving to better my practice and offerings through constant education. I recognize each women, birthing person, and birth is unique. It is my priority to bring the same calming, encouraging, and positive energy to each woman, partner, baby, and family.
