About Julie

My personal birth history includes one medicated hospital birth, one physician attended homebirth, and one midwife attended homebirth. My children were breastfed for 1 year, 3 1/2 years, and 2 years. I've been learning about holistic health through self-study and personal experience with natural remedies and techniques since 1978. I've been involved in midwifery and natural childbirth since 1994.

I'm a published editor and I'm currently writing a book titled "Natural Remedies for Morning Sickness".  My next writing project will be a book on how to use herbs safely during pregnancy and lactation. It covers which herbs should be used in moderation only, used with caution and/or under the supervision of an herbalist, or completely avoided and why. Exposure to magnetic fields, hormone disrupting synthetic chemicals, and other environmental toxins will also be covered.
