About Us

A few years ago, Julie and Melissa randomly met in our neighborhood, noticed we had kids similar in age,  struck up a conversation and instantly knew we would be friends. 

After getting to know each other better, it became apparent we were both passionate about birth. Eventually, we decided to become doulas and work as a team to help women have their ideal birth. We have loved serving Central Texas moms at local hospitals and birthing centers. 

As we began attending births, we noticed there was a lack of birth classes in the area for our clients. We are in the process of creating our own birth class to help our clients and others who want to educate themself on the birth process and prepare physically and mentally for birth. We also noticed a need for basic newborn care and breastfeeding class and are excited to start offering that eventually. 

Hello- my name is Julie Galipeau and I have my degree in Naturopathic Medicine,  I was a personal trainer (10yrs+), certified yoga instructor, former professional athlete, coach and doula. I am Canadian but have been living my BEST life here in Central Texas for the past 7 years with my 4 little humans and my husband Frankie!

After having both hospital and home births I had a desire to help parents navigate through the unknown aspects of labour and delivery by providing individualized support and information allowing them to come out feeling accomplished, proud and confident in their own innate abilities. I believe labour and birth are natural and normal processes and I will do everything I can to fully support that. 

I have a calming presence but also the ability to draw out that inner strength to help mothers through labour, giving them the confidence to transition into any stage of motherhood. This kind of empowerment is my passion!!

My personal trivia facts:
I love being outdoors, playing sports, traveling, animals and the beach.
I DO miss the snow 
I will NEVER say no to a cup of good coffee and a cookie!

*Julie is not currently attending births due to her own recent birth*

My name is Melissa. My husband  Matthew and I have 3 kiddos. I was a former teacher and school librarian who quit to stay home and homeschool. 

When I began having children I started researching everything and became passionate about birth. I believe our culture has made birth scary when it’s so beautiful. Women are incredible and our bodies can do amazing things. Having doula support at my births enabled me to have the births that I envisioned. It was a beautiful experience and changed me forever. I began sharing what I learned with my friends and they began to come to me during pregnancy and postpartum seeking support and information. Eventually I knew it was time to step into the role of birth doula professionally and help more women. 

I will be your biggest cheerleader and encourager while helping you have the birth you want. My goal is to make each woman feel strong and empowered before, during and after birth.
