About Me

Hi, I’m Julia Graves! I’m a Los Angeles-based full-spectrum doula with over seven years of experience supporting more than 150 families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, loss, and reproductive transitions.

For me, being a doula is more than a profession—it’s truly my calling. I bring a warm, grounded, and down-to-earth presence while helping my clients feel informed, heard, safe, and confident in their choices.

One of the most important parts of my work is getting to know you before your birth not just your birth plan. I want to understand your story, your fears, your past experiences, what makes you feel safe, and what you need from me. Together, we can work through fears or previous experiences that may be coming into your birth space. My goal is to become your trusted birth partner, not just another doula who shows up when labor begins.

I’m certified through Birthworkers of Color with additional training in Spinning Babies®, perinatal mental health, Ayurvedic postpartum healing, patient advocacy, and abortion support. My experience includes hospital and birth center births, unmedicated and medicated births, high-risk pregnancies, VBACs, multiples, teen parents, and pregnancy loss.

I don’t come into your birth space with my own agenda—I come to support yours. Whether you need hands-on comfort, education, reassurance, advocacy, or simply a calm and steady presence beside you, I meet you where you are and walk alongside you every step of the way.

Choosing the person you invite into your birth space is such a personal decision, and I would be honored to be considered as part of your journey. I hope we have the opportunity to meet, connect, and see if I’m the right fit for you and your family. I look forward to hearing your story, learning what matters most to you, and hopefully walking beside you as you welcome your baby into the world. 🤎

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.
