“Finding the right community in early motherhood is essential. Jules draws in a soft, thoughtful group and honours all of us with the things we so need: sunlight, laughter, meditation, food, and friends. Circles by Flo to Grow are a place to feel welcome, just as you are.”

“The space and connection that Jules fosters in these circles resonate an immense warmth that is felt by all who attended. The village she creates by connecting fellow mothers, birth and postpartum professionals, and beautifully likeminded people is truely special, and just what my postpartum self was looking for. She so generously shares her connections and village, so others are able to reap the rewards. These gatherings are an essential component to wellbeing in motherhood.”

“I can't believe how fortunate we were to have Jules as our postpartum doula for the second time. Her guidance, nurturing nature, and deep support throughout our postpartum journey were nothing short of remarkable. The evidence-based eGuide she provided became our ultimate postpartum blueprint, helping us prepare for every aspect before our baby's arrival. Planning for the postpartum period became an enjoyable experience, thanks to Jules' expertise.
However, what truly set Jules apart was the incredible nourishment she brought into our lives. Her home-cooked meals during the 4th trimester were an absolute game-changer, especially with a toddler to tend to. The thoughtfulness and care she put into each meal were evident, and those nourishing dishes honestly felt like they saved our lives. It allowed us to focus on bonding with our newborn and managing the demands of parenthood, all while savoring the comfort of nutritious, lovingly prepared food.
Jules' presence felt like having an experienced friend by our side, someone who understood our unique needs and went above and beyond to ensure our well-being. We can't thank Jules enough for being an integral part of our postpartum journey, turning what could have been an overwhelming time into a period of growth and cherished memories. Her expertise, combined with her genuine care, make her an exceptional postpartum doula who we wholeheartedly recommend to anyone embarking on this beautiful yet challenging chapter of life.”

“I had the incredible fortune of working with Jules as our postpartum doula, and I can't emphasise enough how instrumental she was in making the transition into parenthood a smooth and informed journey. From the moment we began our extensive planning with her, it was clear that Jules was not only passionate about her role but also exceptionally knowledgeable and well-prepared.
Jules's expertise in postpartum care is truly remarkable. She has a deep understanding of evidence-based practices and her insights were invaluable in shaping our expectations for the first three years with our newborn. Her guidance covered a wide range of topics, from sleep biology to nurturing behaviours, and everything in between. It was evident that her advice was grounded in both research and practical experience, which made us feel confident in the decisions we were making for our child.
What truly sets Jules apart is her ability to communicate complex ideas in an accessible and supportive manner. She took the time to explain concepts clearly and patiently, ensuring that we understood the rationale behind her recommendations. This approach fostered a sense of empowerment, enabling us to make informed choices that aligned with our parenting style and values.
Jules's support during those early months was a true blessing. Her presence was calming and reassuring, making us feel more at ease as we navigated the challenges of new parenthood. Her insights extended beyond the immediate concerns, helping us build a strong foundation for our child's development and well-being over the long term.
I can confidently say that Jules's role in our journey was immeasurable. Her dedication, expertise, and genuine care for our family's well-being made her an integral part of our postpartum experience. We're so grateful for Jules's guidance and the positive impact she's had on our family's life. If you're seeking a postpartum doula who is not only knowledgeable and insightful but also deeply compassionate, Jules is undoubtedly the one to turn to.”

“I found my postpartum session with Julia to be invaluable. As a professional in the childbearing space, I have a fair understanding of postpartum, however, with Julia’s guidance, I was able to highlight relevant areas to focus on. This filled me with a sense of relief and preparedness that every family should experience. I found Julia’s eGuide to be an excellent resource and it is evident that she is so well-read in all areas of postpartum. Thank you, Julia.”

“Jules has a beautiful energy that instantly puts you at ease. Our session felt like having a cup of tea with an old, very wise, knowledgeable friend. Going through so many changes and new experiences, Jules and her resources have been so comforting. My only regret is not engaging earlier, before our birth.
Working with Jules gave us so much confidence. We felt quite overwhelmed and bombarded with information, so having a trustworthy, reliable source like Flo to Grow to reference, and having everything in one place under one umbrella, has been incredibly supportive.”

“I learned a lot in the two-hour session with Julia. She was very softly spoken and at explaining the topics that we went over. The temperaments was so interesting to me. Julia continues to support and inform me with ongoing information when I reach out with questions. Her support is above and beyond and she is very reassuring and gives me the confidence I need.”

“This session with Julia was SO insightful, it really opened up my mind to postpartum being not just the short term but the long term and ensuring I'm prepared for this transition into motherhood. I really valued the thinking around rest and the tools to help facilitate this successfully.
For me, having support around setting boundaries and building my village was invaluable, Julia really helped me to process what I need and added amazing structure to how I can manage this.
I've already recommended a postpartum session with Julia to friends, as I truly think we focus so much on the before but this is the part that lives on for us and our children and her teachings provide so much understanding.”

“Jules has been an incredible support system for me and my family throughout postpartum. She has been there every step of the way, providing invaluable knowledge and advice on how to care for myself and our new baby. Her calm and gentle demeanor has been a source of comfort during what has been a very overwhelming and emotional time.
Jules has a wealth of experience and knowledge about postpartum care, and she was able to offer practical tips and advice on everything from breastfeeding to baby sleep patterns. She was always available to answer any questions we had and was incredibly patient and understanding.
Jules went above and beyond to make sure we felt supported and cared for. She checked in on us regularly, offered emotional support, and even brought us delicious homemade meals to make our lives a little bit easier.
I cannot recommend Jules and her Doula offerings highly enough. She is a true professional who is passionate about helping new parents navigate the challenges of postpartum. Her care and attention to detail were truly exceptional, and I am so grateful to have had her support during this special time. If you are looking for a compassionate and knowledgeable Doula, Jules is the one to choose!”

“As first-time parents, my partner Conor and I have been going through all the emotions, fears, and excitement of welcoming our son soon. Like most new parents, everything has been beyond our imagination, and we find ourselves worrying about more detailed stuff as the weeks creep closer to the due date.
We count ourselves lucky to be embarking on such exciting times, with both amazing and supportive families overseas, as well as a wonderful friendship group in Sydney to be our village. Meeting Julia was another stroke of luck for us. The way Julia breaks down questions we had, and sets up invaluable preparation around daily tasks and resting in the weeks that follow birth, has opened up important conversations for us as a family. It has been an eye-opener as to what to expect in terms of ways of communicating between each other, ways to support each other, and how our roles are going to evolve in the times that come from here.
Her toolbox is something we're going to be tapping into a lot in the fourth trimester and beyond. I think every family would massively benefit from the support of a postpartum doula - bonus points for Julia being so warm and lovely to chat with!“

“I highly recommend Julia, she has a beautiful and calm demeanor, she works closely with all sorts of health and wellness professionals, and really knows her stuff. Julia made me feel seen and really took the time to learn about me and personalise the session to what would best suit my needs. I will without a doubt be getting in touch as soon as my baby arrives for some more guidance.”

“Meeting with Jules was an honest treat. She is so warm and comforting while being very informative about postpartum. As a first-time mum and midwife, I thought I had my whole postpartum plan figured out until Jules shined a light on so many supports I was lacking in.
In the gentlest way, she gave me the resources to look into how I can complete my circle of support to enhance my postpartum healing journey. She really goes above and beyond searching for ways to help her clients and keeps in touch well after your session has finished.
I cannot thank her enough for the support she has given me and I can’t wait to have her in my corner as a mother.”

“Julia's postpartum planning session and Ebook are a must for every expectant mum. After our GoogleMeet session, I felt so prepared and empowered as I step into life as a first-time mum.
Julia is such a wealth of knowledge on everything from breastfeeding and newborn sleep, to navigating relationship changes during postpartum. After our call, she went above and beyond sharing more incredible resources and notes.
I would highly recommend Julia to all new mums looking for guidance and support postpartum. Julia is so grounded and caring, with a deep personal understanding of the highs and lows of parenthood. Thank you, Julia, for all of your help and support!”

“My 2 hour postpartum planning call with Julia was an incredible resource and something I would recommend to all new mothers to be!
The Information and guide/references she provided were not only useful but also very heartfelt and came from her own experiences as well as professional knowledge. I left the call feeling like I had a real baseline preparation for postpartum and how seriously it should be taken.
With the extra tools and notes Julia provided both before and after the session, I have been able to really consider all of her information and build on my own planning using her strategies.
Postpartum is not something that should be left to chance and I am really grateful for the time I had with Julia.”
