She was beyond flexible, working our schedule around our baby's naps and remained very present even with baby awake throughout our sessions.

I felt so supported and nurtured as we worked together. I love that her approach comes from a place of moving toward more joy, more inspiration, more connection with my spirituality and sensuality. I found that six months of coaching with her created more positive change than years of traditional "talk therapy." Her workshops and women's groups are a resource I value and am happy to recommend.

Julie Ann was my doula for my son's May 2013 birth at Stanford…read more i cannot rave enough about a) having a doula and b) having Julie Ann be that doula! Why? 1) Knowledge & Experience: Julie Ann was extremely knowledgeable about every detail - small or large - regarding birth either in a regular hospital like Stanford or if you choose to do it at home. Julie Ann's advice led me to take measures to encourage my contractions to start after my water had broken, which saved me from needing Pitocin. My OB said if I'd had Pitocin & Epidural, I would not have had the strength to push at the end and would likely have had a c-section. 2) Empathy: Julie Ann has a very empathetic interpersonal style. It's so important you're comfortable with the person helping you deliver. She somehow telepathically knew when I wanted guidance in labor, and when I needed to be left alone to focus on the effort of labor. She also tactfully handled my relatives who were dying to know what was going on. 3) Communication: Julie Ann is really easy to get a hold of (pretty important for a doula!) and overall very responsive over email/phone/text. Thank you Julie Ann for making my birth such a positive, wonderful, dare I say transcendant experience! :)

This is an overdue review. (but with a baby - or two- where do moms find the time to write a…read morereview!?) No matter which doula you hire, I applaud you for looking into doula services because their experience with normal pregnancy births really result in impressive nons-Cesarean birth stats. You are improving your odds that you wont need interventions by partnering with a birthing expert. Julie Ann attended both births of my children (11/2010 & 4/2012) in being a coach to provide the education during pregnancy, instill confidence and recommend books/videos/classes for& about natural birth. My goal was to have a positive experience in birth, so that I would be open to having babies again in the future, and to reduce the chance of postpartum depression. I felt like I got more from her than my money paid for because she actually met for long deep-dives with me to better understand my desires, fears, expectations about (natural) birth and the medical approach alternatives. She was like my therapist! We really explored all of that and she really steered me in the right direction when in the beginning (up to month 6 of my 1st pregnancy) I still was undecided about going natural or not. I'd compare her to a life coach- helping you to achieve what you set your heart on. She is a coach to train you for this marathon of an event, that you don't just walk in for but that you mentally and physically train and prepare for. And her knowledge about Physical Therapy, her Massage skills, and experience in previous births all benefited me. When I was expecting baby #2 I decided at the last minute (week 34) that I might want to have a home birth, but it was too last minute to make the PCP changes with my HMO and I'd have to pay for a lot out of pocket. I consulted with Julie Ann and without even hiring her she gave me sound advice about my options and whether I even needed a midwife (considering how quickly I might deliver #2 baby). She offered me a deal that was just right for me: she would attend my birth as my doula and I would only pay for the hours that she helped me because I skipped all of the pregnancy consultation/meetings. Brilliant!!! This customized approach really met my needs as I really leaned on her once again for her labor massages, coaching breathing techniques, TENs machine, and pushing positions. 1. Definitely get a TENS machine- Julie Ann has her own you can use. 2. Ask about midwifery references if you are not set on having your birth in a normal hospital. 3. If you are on the fence about the price, just think about what an investment this is- for one of the most important events in your life. You could always put 'Doula' on your baby registry and have your friends/family pitch in for it. I have remained close with Julie Ann because you hold someone like a doula so close to you forever - she was instrumental in coaching the birth of my two babies and my natural birth experiences were positive I believe due to the level of support and amount of education she provided me.

Having been a massage junkie my whole adult life, I am very picky about massage therapists, and let me tell you, she is the BEST I've ever encountered. Almost 4 years later I am still going to see her a few times a month because I can't give up the quality of life she brings me. She's a bodywork genius, and I do not use that term lightly. She's incredibly intuitive, and knows exactly what I need and delivers. It's just the right amount of pressure and her knowledge of various modalities ensure that she tailors each massage perfectly for my needs. Cannot recommend her highly enough!!!! She will change your life.

At the time I had been building a very demanding business as well as being a mom and wife. I was on the edge of burn out with zero energy, drive or an inner spark...in short I didn't recognize who I was anymore. At first, I didn't quite know what to expect and thought I was just going to get a massage but Alison's offerings go much deeper than that if needed. Alison is not only technically gifted but her emotional and spiritual guidance has helped me (and continues to) get through very major shifts in my life. She has helped me manage my stress and general life challenges through bodywork, nutrition and spiritual mentorship and has allowed me to get in touch with a fuller & more authentic self. Alison is a rare & beautiful gift who truly cares for her clients well-being. I cant recommend her enough!

It is hard to put into words just how much Jennifer has meant to our family…read more From the very beginning, she made us feel heard, supported, and empowered. Jennifer has an incredible gift for listening to your hopes and helping create a birth experience that honors your wishes while always keeping mom and baby safe. Her guidance, education, hands-on support, and adaptability gave us confidence every step of the way. Whether you're a first-time parent or growing your family, Jennifer meets you with compassion, knowledge, and unwavering encouragement. One of the most special parts of our journey was watching her help prepare our son to become a big brother. She made him feel included and excited to welcome our newest family member. Jennifer created a space where our voices truly mattered especially when they can often feel overlooked in healthcare system. She helped us feel informed, respected, and empowered throughout our entire journey. Now that Jennifer is a midwife, we know even more families will experience the incredible care and advocacy she brings. Jennifer, thank you for helping our family grow and for the lasting impact you have made on our lives. We are forever grateful.

She supported both of us through two births, about two years apart, and each experience was very different (including one with pre-eclampsia and the other with heart rate decels). Her ability to meet each of us exactly where we were, with such calm, confidence, and care, was remarkable. We trusted her completely. From our first phone call, it just felt right. Jen is a powerful advocate for her clients and brought a steady, reassuring presence that allowed us to feel safe, informed, and deeply supported. Her care extended far beyond labor and delivery. Her prenatal and postpartum home visits were incredibly helpful, especially as she guided us through preparing our older child for siblinghood, and she always made us feel seen as a whole family. We also loved how intentional she is about building community among her clients, helping families feel connected to one another and supported beyond their individual journeys. Her work is deeply equity-centered, and as an LGBTQ+ family, having affirming care was incredibly meaningful to us. We are so grateful to have had Jen alongside us during such transformative moments and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for compassionate, affirming, and truly exceptional birth support (especially for those whose journeys end up looking differently than initially planned)!

Be wary. Stephanie is NOT a therapist. She is not registered or licensed with the Board of…read moreBehavioral Sciences, which is required if you are to provide therapy. My partner and I went to her for couples counseling and sex therapy and I was constantly shamed by her. There were some things she was helpful with, and she was very sweet, but overall did more harm than good. My partners lack of pulling their weight in the relationship and displays of toxic, borderline emotionally abusive behaviors were immediately shut down by her. I was told not to "shame" my partner and asked "why I allowed it." When my partner admitted to their lack of follow through on things that made them unreliable, I was asked if my "daddy trust issues" were the reason. And then we moved on. My mental exhaustion from my partners lack of taking responsibility and attentiveness was instead framed as me having an iron deficiency. In which's he called her sister into the room and prescribed me supplements. She's not a medical doctor. She heavily colluded with my partner, rarely holding them accountable, and kept telling me I needed to just get in touch with my feminine goddess energy and just initiate sex more. It was truly an awful experience. Even such, her replying to reviews on here, admitting to the other poor review that she doesn't know them breaks confidentiality, something an ethical therapist would know. She is a sex educator and that's it. I wouldn't trust her with trauma or actual relationship issues other than trying to improve your sex life (and only if there are no other issues present).

Stephanie raised red flags for both of us, and we agreed that neither of us liked her approach. Later, we found out that she had told both of us separately that the marriage was over and that we should get divorced. In my opinion unless there's abuse going on, I don't think a good therapist should ever give you advice like that. Especially when the whole reason you're there is to work on your relationship. I'm glad we didn't listen to her, but instead went to a professional and saved our marriage. Before you start therapy with Stephanie, I recommend you check out her TikTok account to see if she seems like the person you want to do therapy with.

From the…read morebeginning, she was very intentional about preparing everyone for what to expect, including the vulnerability, communication, and moments of physical and emotional intimacy that can come with the experience. That preparation made it much easier to feel safe, open, and fully present. Throughout the three-hour workshop, we were guided through exercises that gave us the opportunity to slow down, focus on one another, connect through intentional touch, and be together without the usual distractions of everyday life. As the only gay couple in the workshop, we felt completely welcomed and included, and never felt that the experience wasn't meant for us. We left feeling noticeably more connected, and that feeling continued into the days afterward. It was a thoughtful, unique, and genuinely meaningful experience that gave us dedicated time to reconnect with each other in a way we don't often make space for in everyday life.
