Julianne Kowalski

Full Spectrum Doula

About Me

Hi, I'm Julianne! I'm a birth and postpartum doula serving Riverside, San Bernardino, and Orange counties, offering gentle, grounded support through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I believe birth is a sacred and deeply human experience where strength, trust, and tenderness come together. This work is truly my calling.

I'm known for bringing a steady sense of peace to the birth space, creating an atmosphere where families can feel at home in their own rhythm and confidence. With a calming presence and deep respect for each family's unique story, I support parents in feeling held, seen, and truly cared for every step of the way.

When I'm not holding mamas or babies, you can usually find me sipping a boba or belting my heart out at karaoke.

Practice Philosophy

As a birth doula, I walk alongside you with grounding and gentle support through pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. My care is deeply compassionate and perceptive, honoring the truth of your wisdom and your authentic self. Whether you're feeling excited, anxious, overwhelmed, or all of the above, I'm here to help you feel seen, informed, and empowered every step of the way.

Beyond the health and safety of you and your baby, my biggest priority is that you feel safe and comfortable. Prenatally, that means truly hearing you, understanding your desires and fears, and developing a birth plan you feel good about. Throughout labor and birth, it means advocating for you, making sure you're always asked for consent, creating a calm and comfortable atmosphere, and leading with a curious heart.

In postpartum, I gently support you however you need, without judgment, listening to your birth story if you'd like to share, and offering encouragement along the way. This is queer-affirming, inclusive care: all bodies, all families, and all birth stories are sacred here.

Overall, my goal is to bring a steady sense of peace to your birth space, so you feel held, seen, and truly cared for, at home in your own rhythm and confidence every step of the way.
