I'm Julianne: birth doula, prenatal shiatsu practitioner, and pre/postnatal yoga teacher. Pregnancy and postpartum are some of the most layered seasons a person moves through, and supporting them is layered work too. There's the body, the nervous system, the relationships, and an identity shifting underneath it all.

I began this work long before I had a child of my own. I trained as a birth doula and in prenatal shiatsu massage because I felt called to support women during the seasons of motherhood.

Then I had my daughter, and I understood the work from the inside.

Life around me kept moving, and I wasn't the same. What steadied me was other women and other mothers. One relationship at a time, I built a web of safety around myself and my baby. That's what I carry into every session now.

It's also why I trained in pre/postnatal yoga: so I could meet a changing body with real knowledge, not just good intentions.

If you're pregnant, newly postpartum, or somewhere in the swirl between, I'd love to keep you company. Becoming a mother is so much more than giving birth. It's finding your voice and learning to trust your instincts 🖤
