A born intuitive and empath, young Julia used Reiki to make herself feel safe and protected. Despite growing up in a holistic household, adulthood found her unsure of how to best use her gifts. That all changed when she started a family. Her isolating experience with postpartum depression cultivated a desire to support and nurture others. She became a postpartum doula and Reiki master to offer love, warmth, and support to help new moms trust their intuition and find joy throughout their postpartum journey.
