Our Story and Mission

Julia(Bloom from Within) is a dedicated witness, guide and space holder for life transitions connected with the childbearing continuum. She found her calling to birthwork while participating in service learning at Seattle Midwifery School while attending UW.  The calling was confirmed working with a placenta at 3 a.m. after a birth in Mexico! She has been blessed to study under the guidance of esteemed mentors such as Elizabeth Davis, Angelina Martinez, Whapio, Irene Garzon, Rachelle Garcia Seliga, Nneka Hall, and Yo Soy Gaia, among others. 

Through Julia's journey, there is a profound commitment to the re-membering of the importance of recognizing, witnessing, and honoring our rites of passage. She believes in the sacredness of these transitions and endeavors to support individuals in embracing their inherent power and wisdom throughout the cycles of life, especially during menarche, birth, and postpartum.  

With a compassionate heart and an open mind, Julia seeks to create nurturing and empowering spaces where individuals can journey through their own unique experiences with grace and strength. Through Julia's work, there is a dedication to fostering deeper connections to self, community, and the natural rhythms of life.  

Julia has given birth to four children at home with licensed and unlicensed midwives, and with only family present. Each birth has left an indelible mark, shaping her understanding of the human spirit and physiology, and the innate power within the self and each individual. She resides on occupied spuyaləpabš  territory in Washington, USA. Her other passions include foraging and herbal remedies, dancing/Zumba, reading/book club, and spending time in nature with her family.
