Birth Doula in Buffalo, NY

Your birth bestie, steady, prepared, and in your corner.

I'm Julia. I'm a birth doula in Buffalo, NY, and I show up to labor like a friend who happens to know exactly what to do. I support families throughout Buffalo, Erie County, Niagara County, and Western New York.

Calm, sunlit room evoking birth doula support in Buffalo, NY

What working with me is like

Steadfast, not schmaltzy

I'm the friend who stays calm, cracks a joke when you need it, and knows when to shut up and press on your hips.

Prepared for the room

Hospital advocacy, plain-language explanations, and a plan for when your plan changes.

A bag full of tricks

Massage, positioning, breath work, rebozo, whatever this labor asks for, I brought it.

One package, one price
