Juliana Taylor
Home Birth Midwife. Mom. Born and raised in Norwich, Vermont. My husband and I met in a Biology class while students at the University of Vermont, and we hit it off over the subject of home birth. Quite a match! We live in Burlington with our two daughters and two dogs while my husband completes medical residency at the University of Vermont. Most of my time is spent with my family or being with growing families. Apart from maternity care, I enjoy Bikram yoga, crafting, sewing, gardening/farming, traveling, and cooking.
