Julia Striegel-Schutte

Birth Doula


I am deeply passionate about working alongside pregnant people through one of the most profound journeys of their lives. My approach is rooted in calm, compassionate care, creating a space where you feel safe, confident, and heard. From our first prenatal meeting to the moment you meet your baby, I'm committed to keeping you informed, honoring your birth preferences, and supporting both you and your partner every step of the way.

In my role as media officer with Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières, I've witnessed how informed, quality care can transform outcomes for maternal health patients in some of the most resource-limited environments in the world, and how profoundly it shapes the experiences of the families receiving it. That lens deepens everything I bring to my doula practice.

With over a decade of experience in public relations and media, I'm well-positioned to help you build confidence in self-advocacy and communicate effectively with your medical team. I ensure every family has a clear understanding of their options so they can make decisions they feel truly comfortable with, entering labor feeling confident and prepared.
