The Support You Deserve
Meet Doula DiBella
My Bio:
My name is Julie, and I’m a mom of 2 beautiful daughters. My very own first labor was “in the top 3 of the worst deliveries I’ve ever seen” as were my midwife’s words. Months after that delivery I knew that there had to be something that I could have done differently. So I went searching and found out what a doula was. I knew that if I were to have another baby, I definitely wanted to have a doula. But in the meantime, all my reading up on the doula world, I became passionate about the support that doulas offer and decided to become certified myself!
Game Changer!!!
I was in love… I knew that this was my purpose in life the minute I stepped into the first class.
Fast forward to my first few labor jobs as a doula, and now I wanted every single pregnant person to know exactly what a doula can offer. Because it’s a game changer!
Imagine running a 10k race and looking back at the end of the race, you say to yourself with tears down your face, I would have never reached the finish line without “insert name here” cheering me on and telling me that I’m strong enough to do this. THAT is a doula!
Of course we are cheerleaders, but we are so much more. We come to the table with knowledge of pregnancy, labor & birth. We come with tools to help support, comfort & acknowledge the laboring mom. And I personally come to the table with a background of two very different labors of my own. One where I was under-educated, scared, pressured and scarred. And one beautifully thought out, prepared for, educated and in charge of that just felt right.
The experience of pregnancy and birth has evolved over the years, especially in today’s modern era. I believe that the need for caring, sensitive and knowledgeable support during this time is becoming more and more apparent. I see every pregnancy and birth as a miracle and as a Doula, I feel honored to be able to contribute my expertise to women and families.

We used Julie as our doula and we are SO thankful we did! With this being our first pregnancy it was so HELPful to have her to answer questions all throughout pregnancy, offer more wholistic approaches to things that came up, explain procedure, help us make decisions about things that would happen during and after labor, and offer advice for things we could do during pregnancy to help with labor and delivery. We cannot stress enough how valuable it was to have her in the labor and delivery room. The hospital was so busy so we were on our own most of the time so having Julie there was so comforting and helpful. Even the nurses were happy to see we had a doula! My husband was able to take some breaks and go sit with our family in the waiting room and get some food knowing I wasn’t alone and I was in great hands. I can’t imagine going through any of this process without her!
