Meet Your Doula

About Julia

I'm a native Oregonion, born and raised in SE Portland. My husband and I have a blended family of six kids, ranging from six to twenty five, and two dogs. We spend our free time outdoors as much as possible and really do love the beautiful city we live in.

I’m a natural born caregiver and find working with my massage and birth clients incredibly rewarding. I’ve been doing massage in Portland at various chiropractors offices and wellness centers over the last twelve years. When I felt called into the birth world shortly after my youngest child was born, I had no idea that doors would open up for me to work at a clinic that combined the two things I loved. Jewell Chiropractic is a wellness clinic in North Portland that specializes in caring for families perinatally . I get to work alongside other incredible female therapists, chiropractors, naturopathic drs,  and acupuncturists who enjoy serving this community as much as I do.

When I’m not doing massage or at a birth, you’ll most likely find me snuggling a newborn, one of my favorite things! 

Please reach out if you have any questions or would like to chat more.
