Juli Textor, BA

Birth/Postpartum Doula & Childbirth Educator

Juli’s passion for pregnancy, childbirth and motherhood began as a child.  Having generations of physicians and nurses in her family history, a love of children, and an innate calling to serve others, she graduated from the UCF College of Health and Public Affairs with a degree in Speech Pathology and Audiology and pursued a career in Elementary Education. Early in her teaching career, Juli began taking midwifery classes in Gainesville, FL where she discovered the role of a doula. This sparked a love of supporting women in the postpartum period, which she did whenever possible outside of her full-time roles as teacher and Mommy. After personally going through two vastly different pregnancy, birth and postpartum experiences, she realizes the importance of having a consistent and non-judgmental support system in place for all phases of becoming a mother. Juli thrives on sharing her passion and knowledge with new moms, fostering a smooth transition for the entire family. Juli and her wife live in Orlando and have two children, ages 14 and 5.
