In case we haven’t met before, I’m Julia. I am a postpartum doula and trainer, author of two books, entrepreneur and philanthropist.
When I started as a postpartum doula, I was only 24 years old and not yet a mother myself. While travelling in Asia, I noticed that the transition to motherhood was perceived differently. I immediately knew that this was my calling in life.
Back home in Australia, no one in my small town even knew what a postpartum doula was. No local training was available, and there was no demand for my services. But I saw a need, and I was determined to make a difference.
I studied five different postpartum doula training. While they were all excellent in their own ways, none really got much deeper than practical information about baby care and breastfeeding. None of them really addressed how to support Newborn Mothers through this significant life transition, this rite of passage. What I know now as matrescence.
None of them acknowledged how profoundly motherhood changed women from the inside out, let alone how we — as professionals — could support them through it. Although I started my postpartum in-home care business, providing massage and meals for new families, I still had questions.
Finding answers became more urgent as I lost and found myself in motherhood.
I started exploring postpartum from different perspectives, including my own background in Social Justice and Community Development. I dove into newer areas of study, from anthropology to evolution, from traditional medicine to brain science, and eventually pulled it all together into my worldwide leading education resource for postpartum professionals: Newborn Mothers Collective. Which is endorsed by the Australian College of Midwives, DONA International and Australian Natural Therapists Association, and I've trained over 2000 postpartum professionals in over 60 different countries worldwide.
I've written two books; Nourishing Newborn Mothers - Ayurvedic Recipes to Heal your Mind, Body and Soul after Childbirth and Newborn Mothers - When a Baby is Born So is a Mother
Together we are changing how women experience the transition to motherhood and, most importantly, how culture and society view new families and postpartum care.
