about julia (she/her)
Hi there! I'm Julia, your dedicated postpartum doula, pre and postnatal yoga teacher, massage therapist, educator, and a proud mum of two boys from the inner north of Melbourne. I'm here to guide and support you through the transformative journey of pregnancy and postpartum.
With a deep passion for providing new parents with holistic support—physically, emotionally, and informationally—I walk alongside you as you navigate this profound period in your life. My personal experiences have shaped my understanding of this journey, from navigating miscarriages to the contrasting experiences of birthing my boys within different care systems, and experiencing high quality postpartum care. I am continually deepening my knowledge of pregnancy and postpartum support and remain committed to empowering you on your postpartum path.
My journey from education to motherhood has reshaped my sense of purpose. Embracing matrescence, I discovered my calling in supporting families during pregnancy and postpartum. I integrate the essence of yoga practices and teachings into my work, believing in the transformative power of movement and breathwork to foster connection and healing.
Yoga has greatly supported me throughout my two pregnancies and into motherhood. This, coupled with my experience as a school teacher, fuels my passion for holding space for pregnant women and new mums. I aim to guide them toward the benefits of yoga, empowering them to trust their bodies and innate capabilities while nurturing their growth.
“At the core of my beliefs is the power of community. I deeply value collaboration, co-learning, and building strong interpersonal connections to serve both individual and collective well-being. I strive to provide you with a sense of belonging, understanding, and support that can help transcend the challenges of new parenthood.”
I offer generous and flexible postpartum doula support, ensuring you feel heard, nourished, and empowered with evidence-based information to thrive through your pregnancy and the fourth trimester. Whether through in-person or virtual sessions, my postpartum care is tailored to meet your unique needs—whether you’re planning during pregnancy or seeking compassionate care post-birth.
Allow me to hold space for you, guiding you with warmth, understanding, and unwavering support as you embark on the transformative adventure of parenthood. Together, let’s empower you on this incredible journey into motherhood.
