5 stars is not enough for Julianne, I recommend 10/5!…read more Julianne truly is the best person for the job title "doula", I could tell she was qualified from the first day I met her, during one of her birthing classes. What I didn't know is that she would become more like the mother figure I didn't know I needed. I had a complicated and hard pregnancy and she came with the right words and always the right care. She taught me how to grieve the loss of a baby, and how to be in the moment with the blessing of my baby that I did get to bring home! She came to the NICU multiple times after baby was born to bring us food, bind my belly(for comfort after delivery), and she even talked to one of the nurses for me when I didn't have the words to myself! She came to my home after we were discharged from hospital to help with breastfeeding, and emotional support. She is truly like no other- and she even turned my husband into a doula loving guy as well! Not sure if I could deliver another baby without her, she gave support months after we delivered, and connected me with other mamas in the same situation

I truly cannot say enough about our experience with Julianne.

To anyone that is debating having a doula, you could not pay enough money in the world for what you will receive from Julianne.

Our whole pregnancy, labor, and beyond was and continues to be brighter and stronger ever since Julianne walked into our lives.

It's astounding to me that no one has written a review before for this amazing class and service. I…read morebooked a spot for my husband and I in one of the classes. As the Saturday approached I thought of ALL of the other things I had to do and had a bit of remorse for booking. I actually talked to another mom about this in the class, who said the exact same way. (Both of us thought: I have so much else to do, what can someone say over these four hours, my husband is going to be so annoyed, etc. etc.) WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. Taking this class - learning the tips of how to talk to your child, things to say, how to say them, what to do when you're not sure if something is inappropriate, what is appropriate (between kids, for example), what do it if something is inappropriate, how to prevent sexual abuse with your children and in your community - is worth a million bucks and a million hours. Feather KNOWS her stuff - she's worked in this field for decades. She presents the material in an organized, logical, professional manner and gives you next steps that are concrete for preventing abuse in your family. Her examples are to the point, and not needless triggering. The fact that parents to be take a "how to install a car seat" class while pregnant, but not this type of class when exactly that the predators are hoping for and what often allows offenders to be successful at offending. PREVENT, SPEAK UP, BE AWARE, EDUCATE, EMPOWER your community, your self and family, and most important - YOUR CHILD! Prevention begins at birth!

As an advocate and founder of a non-profit foundation for the protection of children from sexual abuse, I have spent even more time researching and funding initiatives to stop childhood sexual abuse. My husband and I thought we knew everything we needed to know to keep our 3 children safe. That is until we attended a Parenting Safe Children workshop. Our minds were blown by the information we received at this workshop that not only enabled us to help recognize and respond to abuse but, most importantly, how we as parents can cultivate a relationship with our child and their caregivers/teachers/coaches that will keep them off limits to predators. I have since hosted 3 Parenting Safe Children workshops and encouraged every member of our family and friends to attend this workshop as it is THE. MOST. VALUABLE. parenting information we have ever been exposed to.
