My wife loved having Emily as her doula. I was also really impressed with Emily and how well she handled my wife's entire pregnancy and labor/delivery.
 she always included me and made sure I knew my role as husband and dad during the whole process and journey. 
 highly recommend Emily and her team!

Where do I even begin?! I met Emily while she was doing a teaching on why having a doula is important and I ran up to her afterwards and hoped and prayed she would be available and that we would be a good fit for our birth. She was! this has been the best experience. From learning why a doula is improtant to having her answer all my questions, coaching me before labor, being there literally the entire labor/delivery, and then my postpartum checkups. Emily is thoughtful, caring, very wise, always checks in to see how we're doing. Another great aspect of this was how well she included my husband in every meeting and also during labor and delivery. He felt like he had a purpose and was involved every step of the way! I highly recommend Emily for any type of birth you are going to have! She was wonderful and she really advocated for me and made sure I had everything I needed!

Being an alone and scared first time mom without any family within 1,000 miles of me, I was encouraged by my sister to hire a doula. During my consultation with Emily, she asked what l was looking for in a doula. I told her I wanted someone who would feel like my sister to support me and educate me through my pregnancy— and that’s just what Emily did for me. Because of Emily, I never felt alone during my entire pregnancy. Emily provided me with a wealth of knowledge surrounding pregnancy and labor/delivery and was always available to answer ANY question no matter how silly they may have been coming from a first time mom. Having this constant support gave me so much peace and confidence. Emily was my biggest cheerleader during labor, advocating for me and providing me with comfort and reassurance. I’ll never have a baby without my doula by my side!

My small town had no local doulas. Emily was the only doula out of four that I contacted that was willing to drive 100 miles to my hometown. I felt like I was just having to "settle" for Emily or have no doula at all. But that is so so far from the truth! She was amazing throughout our entire pregnancy journey. She is a wealth of knowledge and my pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum experience have been so enhanced with her by my side. This was my first pregnancy, and I plan on hiring her for my next pregnancy too. I know she'll be so valuable to have at my side again. Thank you, Emily!

We had a wonderful experience with Emily! She is very knowledgeable on so many birthing and labor subjects and helped us tremendously through our journey. I wanted a more natural experience compared to my previous birth and she helped us achieve that. She helped with natural pain management, helpful laboring positions, and just birthing prep all around. We wouldn't have been able to have the experience we did without her. What a blessing it was to have a doula with such a calming and helpful presence during such a precious time in life.
