Client Testimonies

  • I urge everyone to hire a doula and will always recommend Emily. She walked with me through labor, gently reminding me how to breath through contractions, and peacefully reassured me when I wavered on my ability to birth naturally. Not only was she there for every step pre and during birth, but she walked me through my recovery and checked on me regularly. I had so many questions and she made sure I got the answers. Even now, she checks in on my breast feeding journey and loves to hear updates on how I have adjusted to motherhood.

  • She were the only voice of reason when my mind was lost in that room. It’s really hard for me to put into words but she said “she’s perfect no matter what, she’s your baby”. And for that moment, she was the only person who saw me and how I truly felt. She knew exactly what to say and for that I will never be able to thank her enough.

    Zoe R.

  • I was really nervous approaching labor because it was my first baby and all completely new to me. My greatest comfort was Emily affirming that we could meet my goals and desires for labor, whatever those were. She never pressured me, but instead encouraged me and showed me options I never knew I had, ensuring that I had a birth experience that I still reflect on with joy and pride. I am so thankful that I had her there!

  • As a first time mom, Emily was exactly what I needed as I prepared to have my baby last spring. She is extremely kind, thoughtful and very knowledgeable. She is so encouraging and provides a calm and comforting presence whether she is with you while you're laboring or just getting ready for that special day as it approaches. Because of Emily I felt confident and prepared to meet my baby.

  • Emily was my backup doula’s backup doula (very long labor, ha!) and she arrived right as it was getting time to push. She immediately rose to the occasion and was the perfect calm and steady presence I needed at the time. She stayed with me when several unknowns arose right as my son was born. Once my son and I were stabilized, she took the most beautiful pictures that I will cherish forever. Emily is an incredible doula, and I would highly recommend her!

    Amanda S.

  • Emily is just the sweetest and most caring! She’s extremely knowledgeable and has an amazing arsenal of tools to help throughout pregnancy and labor. She makes her own tinctures, oils, tea blends etc to help throughout pregnancy which is awesome. She made me feel calm and confident going into labor and was the perfect energy that I needed throughout my birth that ended up not going how we intended. I had a really long and drawn out labor and I couldn’t have done it with out her! I’m proud to call her a friend to this day and will choose her as my doula for every pregnancy in my future.
