Birth & Postpartum Doula

Hello, Bonjour, Kia Ora!

My name is Julia. I was born in France and moved to New Zealand 11 years ago. Here, I met my amazing husband, and together, we have two wonderful children.
It took me a while to find my calling and figure out what I wanted to do with my life. I believe that women who become mothers are not supported in the way they should be. Happier mums lead to happier children, and therefore, happier individuals.

"To change the world, we must first change the way babies are being born." - Michel Odent
It doesn't matter whether you want to give birth at home or in the hospital, have a natural birth or a caesarean; your wishes, your fears, and your doubts must be heard.
In Aotearoa, 1 in 3 women experiences birth trauma— that's 50 women every day.
We deserve better.
You deserve better.

You deserve to trust your body, know your options and make informed choices. You deserve to be respected, heard, cared for and nurtured. You are bringing a new life into this world, this is a miracle. And you deserve all the love and support you can get.
