Hello and congrats on your new little one!
My name is Julia Davidson. I am a mom to five little ones and wouldn't have it any other way! Each of their unique stories has grown my love for birth work.
After graduating from university with a degree in social work, my husband and I moved to Beijing, China for three years where we enjoyed teaching ESL. My first baby boy was born in Beijing! This journey was difficult, and we lacked the support we needed. After our time in Beijing, we moved to Minnesota. In Minnesota, we had two more baby boys. A doula supported us during both of those births.
I loved using a doula for my own births. I felt encouraged, supported, and heard. I knew that I wanted to help other families. I certified through DONA International shortly after the birth of my second in 2017. Over the last 8 years, I have had the joy of attending over 250 births in multiple settings. In 2018 I completed my childbirth educator training through Lamaze International.
My fourth baby was born in the comfort of my home. I fell in love with the midwifery model of care. Prenatal appointments were holistic in nature and I was able to see the skill and knowledge of home birth midwives. After his birth, I began my student midwifery journey in 2022 through Midwives College of Utah. I currently work as a student midwife with Morning Glory Childbirth Services. I hope to provide home birth midwifery services to the CSRA and surrounding areas after graduation!
My desire is for families to have access to safe, individualized, evidence-based care. Mothers should know they have options and that their voice matters. I want to equip partners to support their loved one well.
It is truly a joy to continue learning and supporting other families.

Life with my family

As a mom of 5, I wear a lot of hats throughout the day! When I'm not homeschooling, studying, or attending births...
I love to go on hikes with my family, read a good book or play a board game. I also enjoy running, painting, drinking coffee, and cooking! |
