Julie McBurney CD(DONA)
Birth Doula and Reiki Practitioner
After my first positive birth experience, in 2000, I found myself hearing a lot of negative tales from other mothers. I wanted to reach out to them and help them have better experiences. I found myself wishing I could have been there to support them with information, emotionally and physically. My compassion became a passion towards better birth experiences.
I can't remember how I found out about doulas, but -after hearing the experiences of others- it seemed like the right role for me. I wanted to help empower women with the lasting memory of a good birth. I started attending births as a doula in 2005, choosing to become certified by DONA International. I experienced the joy of doula support when I had my second baby in 2007.
When I think of birth, I think of it as a natural, normal event that involves a need for support, rhythm, and comfort. I enjoy how every birth I attend, I learn more. Birth is an endless fountain of information.
I see myself as the person to fill in the blanks. Knowledge can make such a difference towards a good birth experience. I want to complete the circle of support, wherever there are gaps to be filled. I am always honored to be invited to this intimate experience. I believe with all the links connected that any birth can be blissful, empowering. A beautiful experience. I would be happy to join you as you labor towards the natural bliss of birth.
Out of an interest in exploring more in depth healing tools, I took my first Reiki I class in 1998. I was empowered by the healing aspects of Reiki and embarked on an amazing journey into healing. My path as a doula and motherhood brought me back to take Usui Reiki I & II training in 2006 with Pam and Don McMahon.
After further preparation, I attended the Advanced Reiki Training in 2007 -broadening my skills and techniques. This allowed me to move forward in practicing Reiki, expanding my healing abilities in a variety of related ways over time. Finally, in August 2009, I completed my Reiki III Usui/Tibetan Master training, including Reiki drumming for Aura and Charka clearing. I am excited about teaching while continuing my healing and birth work.
I have also focused on other healing arts fields, developing my intuition and awareness. I trained with Steven and Marcia Rogat in Intuitive Development, Advance Intuitive Development, and Channeling. These courses have enriched my work as a healer, by supporting my training in working with the Aura and Charkas (Energy Centers), Guidance Meditations, and Channeling. During Reiki sessions, I incorporate the many different healing art skills with Reiki.
