About Me

Hi, I'm Julia Graves! I'm a full-spectrum doula based in Los Angeles, California, and I've been supporting birthing people and families for over five years, walking alongside them through some of the most transformative and vulnerable moments of their lives. This work is truly my calling.

I received my doula certification through Birthworkers of Color in Long Beach, and have continued to expand my knowledge through advanced trainings in Spinning Babies®, perinatal mental health, Ayurvedic postpartum healing, patient advocacy, and abortion support. My work is rooted in both professional training and lived experience, allowing me to provide care that is not only informed, but deeply compassionate and intuitive.

I've supported over 50 families across a wide range of birth experiences, including hospital births, birth center deliveries, high-risk pregnancies, VBACs, multiples, teen parents, and pregnancy loss. Familiar with many hospitals and birth centers throughout LA and the surrounding areas, I work collaboratively with medical providers while always prioritizing my clients' voices, choices, and autonomy.

Practice Philosophy

At the core of my work is this: you are the decision-maker in your journey. I'm here to support, guide, and advocate for you, every step of the way, so you feel seen, heard, empowered, and cared for from beginning to end.
