Julie Brown
Hello! My name is Julie Brown, and I am a Birth and Postpartum Doula trained by DONA and DoulaBuilders. I have been working as a Birth Doula since 2017, and a Postpartum Doula since 1994. Having worked around babies and birth for the last 25 years (yikes!) has been such a joy and a blessing. It is truly what the universe has called me to do. I love my work, and consider myself lucky to be able to do it.
The relationship between a Doula and a family is a very intimate one, and that should be kept in mind when choosing someone to be part of your experience. As a Doula, I see my roll as being an educator, nurturer, and facilitator. At heart, I am an empath who seeks to facilitate connections: connection to experience, connection to people, connection to relationships, and connection to the universe. My goal as your Doula is to help you connect to YOUR unique birth and to YOUR growing family in a positive way, by providing compassionate, knowledgeable, skilled, and open hearted support. I will provide evidence based information and research that will help you advocate for the specific needs for your birth and postpartum experiences.
SPECIALTIES:
First time parents
LGTBQIA families, including adoption/ surrogate
Deaf families (ASL Interpreter)
Mindfulness
Infant care basics
Special needs babies
In my previous life, I was an Interpreter for the Deaf and an early childhood educator. Aside from spending time with my family, and assisting other families as they grow, I enjoy spending time singing in a women’s choir devoted to social justice, reading almost anything I can get my hands on, spending lots of time outdoors, and crocheting (especially for babies!). I live in Rock Hill, MO with my partner, Kerry. We are getting married the summer of 2019, and between the two of us we have 3 children over 18!
