About Me:  

Hello! My name is Julie, and I am Charlotte's only certified fertility awareness educator, as well as a birth doula.   

I believe in, honor, and encourage physiological birth. I believe in the power of connectedness, of relationships between women within a community. To that end, as your doula and your guide, my goal is to really get to know you so that you will feel comfortable and confident with me by your side during the birth of your new baby.  

As a birth doula, I support midwife-assisted and unassisted home birth, birth center births, and hospital births. If you are planning a hospital birth and desire a no medical interventions, we may be a good fit, so please do inquire. 

As a recent graduate from The Well: School of Body Literacy, I counsel teens, women, and couples in Fertility Awareness and its many uses. People who experience menstruation have access to a wealth of knowledge about their health literally at their fingertips when they practice Body Literacy and Fertility Awareness. Through the use of this practice, I will be able to teach you how to avoid an unwanted pregnancy, achieve a pregnancy when you're ready, and to gauge your hormonal and gynecological health. I strongly believe that all girls, women, and those who care about them, should have access to this information. I offer 1:1 support, a group 5-Week Body Literacy Class Series about 4x per year, and free workshops around Charlotte. 

My favorite group to work with is those who want to ditch hormonal birth control and avoid pregnancy without pills, implants, devices, or injections. I can help you get your cycle back on track and ensure you don’t get pregnant when you don’t want to. I also love to work with those who are experiencing menstrual abnormalities, hormone disruption, or period pain/s. 

Fertility Awareness practices can also be incredibly helpful during postpartum, when intimacy can feel intimidating. Your partner might not understand why sex feels so different after your baby came to be. Combining Fertility Awareness with special criteria during this sensitive time, you will be able to feel confident again that intimacy won’t lead to another baby until you are ready. 

For teens, I specifically teach menstrual cycle physiology and awareness, and love to teach the interactive and dynamic Cycle Show. If you’d like to host The Cycle Show for a group of girls or women, please send me an email. Or look for The Cycle Show near you throughout the year.

I'm looking forward to working with you and/or your family, so please feel free to reach out for a free consultation to talk about your current needs.
