Real client testimonials
Julie was our postpartum doula and was incredible…From the first day, Julie became like a member of our family. She is a wealth of information of all things newborn and was also looking out for me and my health. She helped us feel confident as first-time parents and helped ensure we were well-rested and taken care of.

Julie is a pillar of strength and generosity. She seamlessly became a part of our family unit on the heels of our first baby. As prepared as we thought we were, the challenges of nurturing a newborn outweighed what we could have ever predicted; Julie’s unflappable calm, kindness, and radically nonjudgmental support was instrumental in helping us to be successful. She became a confidant as we found the language to process our vulnerability in the transition to parenthood. (One shoulder for us to cry on, and the other for the baby to sleep on!).
She has great intuition for our needs as well as the baby's. Her in-the-moment help with reading our baby’s cues was crucial to our education in baby troubleshooting. She has been able to identify our baby's developmental changes and has shown us how to meet his needs. And her own experience as a mother clearly enables her to patiently field our endless questions…from topics ranging from breastfeeding and pumping, to which baby gear will help our specific needs, to assessing childcare options for our return to work.
Julie has truly been our gentle and warm spirit guide on this intense journey. We are constantly using the knowledge she's shared with us and have much more confidence in what we are doing in this new season of life, thanks to her!

Julie was such a wonderful support in my postpartum phase! She is very calming and reassuring, which is exactly what I needed in my new-mom anxiety mode, delirious with exhaustion. She has a very grounding energy that was so perfect for me in those moments. She also keeps it real and tells you the truth — no useless sugar-coating! I love and respect that a great deal; it’s so much easier for me to step into my power as a mom with authentic support like that. I highly recommend her services.

As a first-time mom, I am so glad that I met Julie and decided to have a doula support me after my daughter was born. She was a calming presence and advocate for my wishes after I came home from the hospital. She also provided so many contacts and resources, from a chiropractor to a lactation consultant. Prior to my daughter, I had zero experience with children. I had no idea what to expect once I became a mom. The hospital didn’t give me a guide on ‘how to be a mom’ once they discharged me! Julie was my go-to on all things, and I was even able to schedule some time for her to come over while I got some much-needed sleep. Thank you, Julie, for being a part of this journey with me!

Julie is a phenomenal resource to have in your life! Having her resources after our son was born brought so much knowledge and peace to me, especially as a first-time mom. She was so helpful and realistic! She made me feel like I wasn’t going crazy and was the most 'real' resource I had. It’s great to have someone who reminds you that everything is ‘normal’ when you feel different from those around you, and Julie will be that for you! We love Julie and would recommend her to anyone!

Julie is an absolute pleasure to be around with an innate knack for knowing what mommas and dads need. She fit into our family dynamic perfectly with a non-judgmental calming presence that created ease in our chaotic household.
I’d give Snug Bug 6 stars if I could. I highly recommend Julie to anyone considering becoming a parent. You don’t have to do this on your own!

I recently had the opportunity to work with Julie as my postpartum doula. From the first day, I knew we were in great hands. Julie is kind, compassionate and so very knowledgeable.
Her expertise in postpartum care was evident from the beginning, and even as a third time mom, she had so many tips and tricks to help make my healing and recovery easier.

Julie is the most intuitive, gentle, and knowledgeable doula in the business! We were so blessed to have her support with our first baby (born last July). She is calm and easy to be around, yet incredibly professional. She’s also always very generous with her time, staying later to help wash some bottles, change a sudden dirty diaper, or teach how to take a baby’s temperature. She just understands the challenges of new parenthood and truly goes above and beyond to create ease for the entire household. And her experience and insights were the biggest gift to us. I’ve learned so many great tips & tricks from Julie, many of which I still continue to use and share with others! Julie is truly the BEST!
