About Juliana
Hi, I’m Juliana.
As a mom of three, Registered Nurse (RN) , International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and Certified Nutrition Consultant (CNC) for pregnancy and postpartum with a background in natural medicine, I’m passionate about supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum, breastfeeding, and early motherhood.
My passion for supporting mothers began with my own first pregnancy. I felt intuitively guided to shift the focus of my career toward the profound connection between mother and baby—and toward helping women feel informed, nourished, supported, and confident throughout this transformative season of life.
I believe motherhood is beautiful. It’s messy, humbling, empowering, and transformative—and no two journeys look the same. My approach honors the whole mother—body, mind, and intuition—while providing compassionate and evidence-informed support, to help them nourish their bodies, and support them in aligning their feeding journey with their personal breastfeeding goals.
Motherhood changed me—and it’s one of my greatest joys to walk alongside other mothers as they navigate this beautiful, sometimes overwhelming journey, while simultaneously discovering the woman and mother they are becoming.
When I’m not supporting new moms, you’ll find me being silly and creative with my kiddos, creating new recipes in the kitchen, strolling through farmers markets, squeezing in daily movement, or simply enjoying the quiet moments.
Client Reviews
“Working with Juliana has been such an incredible experience. I am currently pregnant with my second child, and I’m so glad to have had the opportunity to work with her. For this birth, I’m hoping to have a VBAC at home, so I want to support my body to be as healthy as possible in preparation.
The beginning of this pregnancy was tough with a lot of nausea and lack of energy, but Juliana had helpful suggestions for getting through that phase with as much nutrition from my diet that I could. She has since worked with me to create a dietary plan to help me get the specific nutrients I need throughout the entire pregnancy, and has suggested additional supplements to provide extra support.
She has been such a great support, both professionally and personally. She has gone above and beyond to support my physical well-being as well as my mental and emotional well-being. She always has wonderful suggestions/recommendations, but she offers them without any pressure and encourages you to do what feels best for you. She has encouraged me to be gentle with and listen to my body for what it needs in every aspect, and it has truly helped me to feel more connected to my self and my body. I cannot say enough positive things about Juliana as a person or her practice. I highly recommend working with her!.”
