Holistic care throughout your pregnancy journey

Care with Julia
Pre-pregnancy planning
For those who have pre-existing medical conditions or simply wishing to optimise pre-pregnancy health, Julia provides consultations focused on holistic health and wellbeing prior to conception.
Personalised early pregnancy care
Julia is passionate about supporting families through the exciting and at times very nerve wracking first few weeks of pregnancy and appreciates that many families need a little extra care during this time. Julia provides early pregnancy ultrasound and counselling to support patients experiencing early pregnancy bleeding or families who have been through miscarriage or other early pregnancy complications.
Given the often-immediate need for early pregnancy assessment, Julia always tries to see patients looking for early pregnancy assessment in a timely manner – please contact the practice to discuss any early pregnancy concerns.
Obstetrics
Julia is highly skilled in providing evidence based obstetric care to all families and places great importance on getting to know individuals and understand how care can be tailored to them. Julia is dedicated to looking after families with uncomplicated and high-risk pregnancies alike.
