Being there to support women in one of the most impactful moments of their lives has been my calling and deepest passion for almost as long as I can remember. I believe women’s bodies were built to birth. I am passionate about coming alongside them and empowering them to do that in a way that will forever change them for the better and help them realize their beautiful potential as women and mothers.
My Story
My doula journey began at a very early age. At the age of 8, I attended a doula led birth class with my parents when they finally conceived again, after a long battle with infertility. My parents expected that I would sit in the back and entertain myself, but I listened in to the whole class, took notes, and drew pictures. I asked if I could be at the birth and my mom agreed. I got to be there when my brother was born and I loved it! A similar story happened again when I was 15 with my aunt.
Ever since, I have had a deep desire to be there to support families as they walk this road. After pursuing a nursing degree, I quickly discovered I align more with holistic natural healthcare and wanted to head that direction instead, and put it on the back burner for a few years. In the meantime, I became a licensed massage therapist and love it, but have still deeply felt that this is my calling. I attended the DONA (Doulas of North America) training in January 2024 to become a certified doula and am currently working towards achieving that certification.
Who I am
Hi, my name is Julianna Sachsenmaier!
I was born and raised in Colorado and recently moved to the northern Colorado area when I married my incredible husband. I am a Christian and my life is lived with the intention of loving others the way Jesus loves them. I love being outside, hiking, and paddle boarding. I enjoy painting and cooking. I am passionate about holistic, toxin free living and learning more ways to live that way.
I am very personable and encouraging, and am good at seeing the positive side of almost any less-than-ideal situation. I am compassionate and empathetic and it absolutely fills my soul with joy to provide help and support to people, particularly families who are preparing to welcome new life into their home.
Birth, especially natural birth, is my passion and I’m excited to share what I have learned with you to help you be empowered to make the best choice for you and your baby. My desire is to provide compassionate, nurturing support that meets you wherever you are at. I am continuously learning and adding to my “toolkit” to be able to help you have the best experience possible on your birth journey.

Her big heart for mamas and birth makes her a crucial part of the birth team!

Julianna is a wonderful presence in the birth space. Her calm demeanor and her heart to serve makes her a natural doula. She has studied birth, but also has the intuition to sense what is needed. Julianna brings both knowledge and compassion to birth. I highly recommend her!

Julianna shadowed my doula and attended my delivery this past summer. She was so kind, gentle, and calming - which was exactly what I needed that day. She had no problem jumping in to help with breathing exercises or positioning techniques when my doula had to step away. She was helpful and encouraging when I felt like I was going to give up. I am so thankful for her presence with us that day, and would hire her as my doula in a heartbeat!
