I created Safe Passage to become an advocate for natural birth and 100% hormone-free contraception in my community. In the birth room, I am your guide and your reassurance, encouraging you to maintain movement and guiding your partner towards you. I want you to feel competent, full of knowing of the process that is taking place within your body.
The name "Safe Passage" is very important to me. I chose it because as a woman and a mother, I think of myself as a guide for other women during times of transition, of which there are many: puberty & menarche, birth & motherhood, and menopause. I want you to move safely and courageously through one stage and to the next.
I'm Julie, creator of Safe Passage Doula Services
I am a Madriella certified doula, and I am currently studying under Sarah Bly at The Well School of Body Literacy and am looking forward to teaching the rules of contraception and conception as a fully certified Fertility Awareness Educator (FAE) in 2025. I am currently an associate member of FACTS About Fertility as well as a member of the Association of Fertility Awareness Professionals (AFAP) as teacher-in-training. I have personally been charting my own body's fertility signs for the last 9 years with immense satisfaction, and am overjoyed to be sharing this practical knowledge with others. In the meantime, I am a passionate puberty and menstrual cycle educator in my community, for both teens and adults.

In my free time, I'm in my kitchen. I am always baking bagels, loaves of bread, and muffins for my friends and family. As a former personal chef, I take pride in what I create in my kitchen and absolutely love to host dinner parties. I really enjoy eating seasonally and have to thank our local farmer's market vendors for all of the hard work they do to grow our food. I am active in my community and probably know every employee by name at our local grocer from my days as a chef. I'm always in our local library and am a huge fan of their events. I also love to travel and have called home to Beijing, Puerto Rico, France, and Chicago.

"Julie is truly an angel on earth! She was not only a doula for me and my husband during my pregnancy, but a friend, a consoler, a wealth of knowledge and and positive and encouraging cheerleader! Having Julie by my side throughout my pregnancy and birth was the best thing I did for myself my family. Having never been pregnant before I felt like Julie helped to guide me through all the stages of pregnancy and helped to prepare me for a safe, positive, and empowered birth experience. If you are newly pregnant, TTC, or planning to be pregnant in the future and are interested in having a doula, do it! I have absolutely zero regrets and will be using Julie as my doula for future pregnancies! She is a loving, kind, passionate person who will be there for you and your partner emotionally and physically throughout your entire birth experience!"

My wife and I had Julie as our doula for the birth of our first baby. I honestly didn’t know what to expect, but after working with her, I cannot recommend her enough. From the start she was very helpful with getting our questions and concerns addressed. She took the time to get to know us, helped us outline a birth plan, made sure we had everything we needed like food and electrolytes, made “pad-sicles” to help with my wife’s recovery, and even hand-wrote a personalized letter that she gave my wife during her checkup after our baby was born. When my wife went into labor, Julie was by her side the whole time from when she got there (around 4pm) up until when the baby was delivered (11am the next day) and even stayed after to make sure my wife was hydrated and we had everything we needed.

During labor she had my wife moving, stretching, and doing all kinds of different things we would have never thought of to help things progress. Julie is very soft spoken, genuine, passionate, knowledgeable, and was just what my wife needed to get through the labor and delivery of our first baby. I am beyond thankful for her going above and beyond to ensure my wife had a great labor and delivery experience. When you work with Julie, you aren’t just working with a doula. You are gaining a lifelong friend. She loves what she does and it really shows when you chat with her. We will be using Julie for all of our future births and will be recommending her to anyone and everyone!

I wholeheartedly recommend Julie to any expectant mother seeking a doula. She is a true professional, a compassionate soul, and a wealth of knowledge. Julie played an instrumental role in making my daughter’s birth experience positive and empowering. I am forever grateful for her presence during the process and we cannot imagine having gone through this journey without her. If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would!
Thank you, Julie, for being the incredible doula that you are. You have forever left an imprint on our hearts and the joyous memories of being there for my daughter’s birth experience. Julie, you are part of our family now!! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our Olivia!
