Professional Doula and Pre/Postpartum Personal Trainer

Hello! I'm Justine, a passionate advocate for maternal health and well-being. I'm the founder and woman in charge here and at Beach Mama Wellness. I'm also a mother of four. I went through my first pregnancy as a young mom, not knowing anything about birth or my body. I was forced into making medical choices that I didn't fully understand. In the end, I was disappointed with my lack of knowledge. This is where my passion was sparked.

 

With one medicated and three very different unmedicated births, my firsthand birth experiences have fueled my passion for helping other women. My birth journey started with a high-intervention, epidural birth in a hospital and has ended with a natural birth with zero interventions in the comfort of my own home. I have given birth laying in a hospital bed, leaning over a bed, squatting next to a birth tub, and kneeling in my living room. That's right, you don't have to be stuck in a bed to give birth!

 

Having experienced the joys, challenges, and profound emotions of having a variety of birth experiences myself, I bring a unique perspective and understanding to my role as a doula. I am here to offer unwavering support, a listening ear, and a compassionate heart as you navigate the beautiful journey of motherhood. I believe that every mother deserves individualized care and attention, and that no two birth experiences are the same. That's why I take the time to get to know you and your unique needs and preferences and provide personalized care that reflects your goals and values
