I worked with Emily at Bundle of Joy for my first pregnancy and have nothing but positive things to say about the experience. Emily was a guiding light in navigating and helping me explore the right choices for me, my family, and my body. The hypnobirthing series was the perfect course for helping me explore my thoughts and feelings towards my birth experience, and to practice all the ways I would ultimately support myself through active birth. Having Emily in the hospital to support my birth experience was a great way to make sure my husband and I felt supported in all of our choices since we chose to deliver at a hospital. I would recommend Emily and Bundle of Joy services to first time moms or anyone looking for guidance and coaching to make their birth experience an empowering and confident one!

If you are looking for an exceptional Doula, I would highly recommend Emily of Bundle of Joy Birth Services!

I started researching Doulas when I became pregnant with my second son.  It was a rough start to the pregnancy and I was looking for emotional support. I had also decided that I wanted a different type of birth than I had with my first son.  I wanted to feel like I was more in control. 

When I first reached out Emily, it was very early in my pregnancy and I was very nervous due to the complication that I was experiencing.  During our telephone conversation, she was caring, patient, companionate, understanding and kind.  It was with that first conversation that I knew she was the right fit as part of my birthing team. 

While pregnant, I attended her HypnoBirthing class.  Emily was very knowledgeable and I really enjoyed the experience and learned breathing techniques among other valuable information.  It was also beneficial as I got to know Emily more personally since she would be attending the birth of my son.

While preparing for the birth, Emily took the time to learn exactly what I wanted the experience to be like.

I can say with exact certainty that Emily helped make the birth I envisioned a reality through her provision of support, physical comfort during my labor, and her advocacy. 

I am very grateful for Emily and the services she provides.  Her compassion and dedication to her work made her an invaluable asset to my birth.

Having Emily as my doula was such an integral part of my prenatal preparation, labor and delivery, and post partum recovery. I cannot recommend her highly enough! We were in communication throughout my entire pregnancy, and she always answered any questions I had promptly and with sound advice and suggestions. When my water broke and my labor went 0-100 much quicker than anticipated, Emily provided us with the support and direction that we needed. We had planned for her to labor with us at our apartment, but things progressed way too quickly for that. Instead, She coached me and my husband over the phone and when we met at the birth center, she was by my side the entire time! Emily’s calming yet confident presence really encouraged me to birth my baby naturally and remain calm and focused. Having her as my doula was invaluable and I cannot recommend her enough!

It’s hard to put into words how much it meant to us to have Emily involved in our birth journey. The level of compassion and care she provided throughout our entire pregnancy, birth, and postpartum is unmatched. Emily has a true gift — her work is an act of service to birthing people and families.

Working with Emily was extremely enriching to my mind, body, and soul, and I can’t imagine what my birth experience would have been like without her as part of my birth team.

Taking the 12-week Bradley Method course with Emily not only educated my husband and I on how to work together a team to achieve a birth with as little interventions as possible, but through Emily’s counsel, I developed a stronger connection and trust within myself that made me feel empowered to bring a life into this world.

Emily’s advocacy, deep wisdom/ advice, and her soothing modalities used during my labor were so helpful. Her unrelenting emotional and physical support were critical in helping me achieve the unmedicated birth I had planned for and desired.

After birth, Emily continued to be a source of helpful insight and comfort. I owe a great deal of gratitude to Emily as she played a pivotal role in one of the most transformative moments of my life. My husband and I feel so blessed to have worked with Emily and for the profound impact she’s made in our lives!

Emily is an amazingly gifted birth doula. My wife and I feel so lucky to have had her as my doula for the birth of our rainbow baby boy. We had interviewed 7 other possible doulas and were so fortunate to find Emily because she is just the best. She supported me through my pregnancy and was always available by phone or email or text to answer questions, offer support, provide reassurance, give me hope in difficult moments, and be an advocate. Emily is so knowledgeable and experienced and passionate about her birth work. It truly is a privilege to have her on your birth team. I had several high risk factors in my pregnancy (Emily helped me navigate them all and keep perspective), and I ultimately chose to be induced in the 39th week. I was very nervous that I wouldn’t be able to have the unmedicated birth I wanted to have, and Emily always helped me feel optimistic and prepared and full of hope that I could do it. My labor was unmedicated, about 15 hours and went according to my hopes/preferences. I I,000% attribute that to having Emily as my doula. She helped my wife advocate for me, she provided invaluable guidance, she held my hand, she collaborated with my nurses and midwives/doctors, she supported my wife as my birth partner, and she always had ideas for new comfort measures when I needed it. She was the anchor for my birth team. I felt completely safe and taken care of. If you have a chance to work with Emily, do not hesitate. There is no doubt in my mind that she is the reason my birth was such a profound and transformative and life changing experience. Her attentiveness and expertise was also invaluable in the hours after my birth when I needed additional medical attention, and her postpartum and breastfeeding support is also a gift. Emily is just the best of the best and we will be forever grateful to have been able to work with her.

In planning my first homebirth, I knew my family and I could use some extra support. I met Emily through my midwives and she was a perfect match for my family. She is a caring, kind, attentive, and confident birth doula. She helped bring me comfort and strength as I brought my baby into the world at home.

Emily was such a great resource to me during my pregnancy helping me navigate finding / switching to a new provider when I wasn't happy with my current one and answering all my questions as a first time mom. She was a wonderful source of support during my birth, knew my birth plan / preferences inside and out and helped advocate for my wishes. I would highly recommend Emily!

Emily is a compassionate, empathetic, skilled and knowledgeable professional. It was truly a pleasure to work with her and the support she provided to both myself and my wife was invaluable during pregnancy and delivery. Emily went above and beyond to make herself available to us whenever we needed her. Even the little things such as calls and texts went a long way to help my wife feel safe and grounded during her pregnancy. During the actual delivery at the hospital Emily was alert, patient, dependable and encouraging. She provided support and inspired confidence in my wife and myself. She kept her composure even when things got a little bumpy. I am so very thankful to have had her in our corner during this time, she has a caring, kind and strong heart and it gave us the extra boost of confidence we needed for the birth of our child.

I had a wonderful experience with Emily both as an instructor for the Bradley method and as a doula during my birth. The 12 week course was invaluable to my husband and I, especially as first time parents. We learned so much more with Emily than we did anywhere else. I also can't imagine my birth without Emily there! She was so helpful with positioning me to relieve pain as I had a fully unmedicated birth. She was equally supportive of my husband who really appreciated a sounding board in the moment when he has questions, concerns, or needed to make decisions. When I'd hear her remind my husband to eat or drink something himself (my labor was 22 hours and he never left my side) I was relieved that she was taking care of him too. Our baby was born with shoulder dystocia, causing the end of our birth to happen very suddenly as our medical team intervened. It was invaluable for us to debrief with Emily after to understand fully what happened in those final moments. She really took her time in our postpartum visit to help us process our birth experience. I'd recommend Emily to anyone!

We had Emily as our doula and Bradley method class instructor and she was amazing! She is kind, level headed, and thoughtful in the ways she provides support. Working with her gave us the confidence to make informed decisions throughout our labor and she was completely supportive of whatever we were decided on. She was also very responsive and always willing to answer any questions we had. Emily even put together a timeline of our birth story and took some beautiful pictures throughout, which we will cherish for a long time. We couldn’t have had such a wonderful experience without her, and we hope to have her at all the births of our future children! We highly recommend her as a doula (or at least take one you her classes!). If you are hesitating - don’t. She is incredible and working with her during my pregnancy was the best decision we made.

I am so glad my midwives recommended Emily and her doula services! Emily was my doula for my home birth and now continues to follow up with me during my postpartum period. She was so kind and responsive from our first phone call, and it was so easy to talk to her when we first met in person when she visited my home. The pricing for her services (which is very reasonable) had changed before we signed the contract with her, but she still offered to honor the original pricing from our initial conversation. During labor, Emily was very responsive over text and phone and came as soon as I needed her to be with me in person. She was so respectful of my choices and gave me space when I needed it. She was a calm presence throughout and helped me with positions, pain management techniques, getting everything ready (including the bath), and coordinating everything with my husband, making him feel more empowered throughout the experience. Since birth, she has helped me with breastfeeding support and emotional support. Oh and did I mention she took amazing pictures throughout my labor and birth? She even captured the moment of birth on video, which I am so grateful for. My husband and I will treasure her pictures forever.

I really can’t recommend Emily enough!

Going into this pregnancy I knew I wanted a natural, unmedicated birth but I also knew I would need support to achieve that goal. Choosing Emily as our doula was one of the best decisions we made for our labor and delivery. Throughout the pregnancy Emily was supportive and helpful. She made suggestions to me of ways to help with pregnancy related pains while I was still pregnant, and she helped us think through and prepare for labor. Once labor came, Emily was quick to come. Having her by my side helped incredibly through a very fast and intense labor. She provided me with comfort measures that made a big difference to me. She also gave me the encouragement I needed and supported my husband as he helped me. I am so thankful for Emily, and I will always remember the difference she made to us in one of the most special moments of our lives.

There aren't any words to truly describe how grateful we are for Emily. We used her as a doula for the birth of our first daughter. From the initial phone call, to the texts with questions after bringing our newborn home, Emily met every one of our needs with compassion and true care. Despite our best efforts to create the birth plan of my dreams, my true birth was quite the opposite. However, Emily made sure I was supported and felt informed of all of my decisions along the way. Emily not only provided support to myself, but my husband as well, making sure his needs were met during the long labor process and allowing him to get some much needed rest. Ultimately, hiring Emily as a doula allowed me to advocate for my needs during prenatal appointment, understand my options while decision making in the laboring process and to have peace of mind as I entered this new world as a new mother. Hiring Emily was the best decision for myself and my family - we highly recommend hiring her to support you on your birthing journey!

I highly recommend Emily as a doula and Bradley method teacher! I’m so glad I found her to help me with the birth of my first child.

 

Before giving birth, my husband and I took Emily’s Bradley method class which helped us learn about natural childbirth, how to advocate for ourselves during childbirth, and how my husband can support me during childbirth. Without this class, I think my husband and I would have felt overwhelmed at the hospital and would have blindly followed the suggestions of the medical staff without really considering other options or thinking about our preferences. A few weeks before my due date, Emily met with us to go over our birth plan and discuss various issues related to childbirth which helped us mentally prepare for the big day.

 

On the day I gave birth, Emily came to the hospital and stayed with us until I gave birth to my son and had nursed him – which was well after 2 AM. During the whole time she was with us, she was a calming presence, encouraging me, suggesting different positions, helping me with the visualization that I was using to manage the pain, and bringing me water and juice. It was really reassuring to have someone experienced with the birthing process constantly by my side. Thanks to Emily’s help, I was able to have the natural and completely unmedicated childbirth that I was hoping for!

 

A week after giving birth, Emily came to our home again to go over my childbirth experience. She also gave us a timeline of what had happened during the childbirth as well as all the photos she had taken. I’m very grateful that she was there to capture so many precious moments (including a video that she took a few seconds after my son was born), as I would have forgotten many of those moments without her photos and notes.

 

If you’re looking for a doula, I highly recommend Emily!

I cannot recommend Emily enough! I wanted a doula because I have no family nearby and wanted some extra support. Emily far exceeded my expectations and was there for me in every way. She checked in on me frequently before the birth, helped me develop a birth plan, and was with me at the hospital the whole time. She helped me through laboring and advocated for me with the hospital staff. I also took one of her hypnobirthing classes, which was very informative. She visited me after birth to help around the house and she helped me at the hospital with latching the baby for breastfeeding. Overall, I'm so glad I made the decision to hire Emily and I'm beyond pleased with the services I received!

Emily is an excellent doula and she was a huge benefit to my pregnancy and birth!

We took her Bradley Method course as well as hired her as the doula for our planned home birth. Her Bradley class was thorough and helped us prepare for the birth. As a doula, she was there throughout the pregnancy to give emotional support and advice for staying healthy and comfortable.

As it turns out, we had a bumpy last month of pregnancy, including an ER visit and a transfer for an induction, and she was there to support through every experience we had. She has a calming presence and knowledgable advice that made all the difference. The L&D nurses told us later that they were impressed with Emily's diligence in helping me switch positions during active labor with an epidural, and that the position changes made the labor go faster! And she advocated for me to make sure our birth plan was followed by the hospital staff. Despite everything, she made sure our first birth was positive and healthy. We are so grateful for all that she did to support us before, during, and after the birth.

Hiring Emily as our doula was one of the BEST decisions I made during my first pregnancy. I was truly motivated to have a natural childbirth but had no idea how to prepare mentally, emotionally or physically - Emily was the answer to all of the above. My plan was to labor at home however I ended up being 11 days late with a doctor who wanted to induce me. Thanks to Emily, I had an advocate who was able to guide me during this difficult time (she is so knowledgeable about this space!!) and I was able to go on to have an almost entirely natural childbirth! 

Emily came to the hospital at the exact time I needed her physically and emotionally. She enabled my husband to be the best birth partner he could be, encouraged me to eat and fuel myself properly, and guided me through labor (so many helpful positions and recommendations!). I truly believe I would not have had the magical & natural birth experience I wanted without Emily. 

And to top it all off, Emily was there for me for the entire 2 weeks after birth, providing lactation support and emotional support as I worked through my post partum blues. My husband and I could not recommend Emily more!! 

Amanda

Working with Emily was the best! As a first time mom, I had a lot of thoughts for what I wanted as a birth experience, and wanted a doula to help guide me through that journey. Emily was that and more! She helped provide information that I could use to consent/deny treatments in a hospital setting in an informed manner, gave great advice during labor, and when labor progressed faster than either of us thought, she was a lifeline! To anyone considering a doula for their birth, I highly recommend working with Emily! 

Amanda

Emily was a godsend during my pregnancy and labor! We had a hospital birth that started off already different than expected. For a first timer, my husband and I really wanted the expertise of a doula to assist us while we naviagted this new experience. She was so supportive of all of my wishes and changes as things progressed.  She is knowledgable and considerate during the hard moments and  made them easier. Looking back at my birth, she spent time going over the timeline and made me feel proud that I really had a hard birth and that I did well. I highly recommend Emily and her classes for any mom, first time or not, to have the most amazing support system and a fountain of knowledge on birth!

Hiring Emily was one of the best choices I made during my pregnancy. She truly cares about her clients as people and supports you in every decision that you make. She encouraged me to make informed decisions and I don't think my birth would have been the same without her. My husband already said that we will be using her again if we decide to have a second child. 

Also if you want to take any of her birthing classes she really gets to know you, and it helps her support you even more during your birth experience.

We LOVED working with Emily for the birth of our second son. Emily was so supportive throughout my pregnancy and birth—both emotionally and physically. She catered to exactly what we needed and had lots of quick solves through a tough labor and delivery! She is a warm and calming presence and I truly could not have done this without her! We would 100% recommend having Emily as your doula.

I am so happy that I decided to hire Emily as my doula for my second birth. I decided to search for a doula in my second trimester, realizing that I would be needing extra support since I wanted a VBAC. After my first initial phone call with Emily, I had cried tears of joy because I felt so relieved to find someone who understood my decision to VBAC and seemed to be SO supportive.  Emily is incredibly educated on childbirth and was always able to offer a plethora of information on any questions that I had. My husband and I also took Emily's Bradley Method class, which emphasizes that birth is a natural process and we learned about the concept of physiological birth. Her class was extremely informative and lined up with the birth that I was hoping to have. My husband and I were so grateful to have Emily as part of this process. I would HIGHLY recommend her services to anyone having a baby. Having Emily's support throughout my pregnancy and birth was so essential to me having a better experience the 2nd time around. I am forever thankful.

Emily is the best!!! I interviewed at least 7 different doulas and Emily made me feel the most comfortable and most qualified. She was there every step of the way and when things changed (planned c section) she helped me think of things I would've never considered and truly made the experience ten times better for me. My husband said "even if we could've have both of our moms there I would've still wanted Emily" she made my husband feel calm and took care of everything in recovery while I was unable. We truly could not have gone through birth without her. Best decision ever!! She continues to be a great resource and  checks in to make sure everything is going well

Such a wonderful experience taking a one-on-one birthing refresher with Emily. She was so patient, knowledgeable, and thorough in answering all of my questions and preparing me for birthing the second time around. The suggestions she offered based on her training and on my first birthing experience were incredibly helpful to navigate the different experience the second time around. I couldn't recommend her  enough!!

Emily and I initially met through Bradley Method classes.  As our Bradley Method instructor, Emily was extremely knowledgeable about all things related to birth and pregnancy.  She was also extremely friendly and easy to get along with - we immediately hit it off.  We planned on a home birth with midwives for an intimate and personal birth experience - I knew Emily would be the perfect person to share all of this with - we were just very much on the same page about all things surrounding the birth and pregnancy processes.  Emily helped us prepare for birth through our classes, on the phone, through video chats and helped us write our birth plan. 

Fast forward to November 29, 2021, my amniotic fluid was low and I needed to be induced at the hospital.  I labored for 4 days strapped to tons of machines and monitors.  Emily comforted me and helped me through the worst of it.  She helped us advocate for ourselves and was able to distinguish between hosptial protocols and the law for us.  She also helped us with things like medical consent.  She put me in countless positions to help drop the baby and dilate me.  Unfortunately my baby just wasn't ready and after 3 rounds of a pitocin induction, I was sent for a c-section as I really had exhausted all options at that point.  She is truly committed and cares for her clients.  

Again, I could not be more grateful for everything Emily did for us.  She was prepared, knowledgeable, has the physical endurance of an ox (she helped us while she herself was 31 weeks pregnant), is upbeat, positive and truly one of the most amazing human beings I have ever met.  Emily is a treasure in the birth world and you would be lucky to have her as your doula, lactation consultant and/or Bradley Method teacher.  She really cares deeply about her work and her clients and it shines through in everything she does.

We are so pleased that we found Emily to help us with the birth of our second child.  She helped us to have the birth experience we wanted - a calmer and more emotionally unifying experience compared to the whirlwind of our first hospital delivery.  We felt her support from the minute we spoke to her on the phone.  She helped us to think about things that we might want to decide on before the birth and she helped to encourage us as we prepared for the birth.  Her presence during labor and delivery helped to fill us with confidence and peace while simultaneously reducing our anxiety and fear.  Emily's support continued after our delivery and was exactly what we needed.  We would strongly recommend Emily to anyone having a baby and we will reach out to her again if we are blessed to have another child in the future.

Emily was an integral part of our birth story from start to finish.  She was our Bradley Method instructor before birth, our Doula leading up to and during birth, and our lactation consultant after birth.  She was with us every step of the way providing guidance, knowledge and reassurance in what turned out to be a very challenging birth with quite a few medical complications.

As our Bradley Method instructor, she was incredibly knowledgeable and easy to get along with.  We spent over 24 hours with her over the course of three months learning the ins and outs of the Bradley Method.  There wasn’t a question she didn’t have an answer to and she made all of the material easily digestible for us.

As our Doula, Emily played a crucial role in our birth.  She was our advocate, protector, and advisor as our birth plan had to be adjusted to account for medical difficulties.  Despite being over 31 weeks pregnant, Emily arrived at the hospital at 2am to start our birthing process and stayed with us for a very extended period of time.  She knew all of the details and goals of our birth plan and made sure that our providers respected our wishes.   

As our lactation consultant, Emily helped my wife in the critical golden hour period and well beyond to ensure a successful mother/child breastfeeding relationship. 

I truly cannot express the amount of gratitude and appreciation my wife and I have for her.  She shared some of our most intimate and vulnerable periods of our life and has become like family.  I hope everyone gets to experience the incredible mind, spirit, and comforting nature that Emily provides.  She is a very special person.

Emily was an absolutly wonderful doula. From the beginning of our pregnancy to our birth, Emily was a pillar of support for me, my husband, and our newest addition. Emily brought a wealth of knowledge, suggestions, and guidance when we had to make some hard, unexpected decisions. We experienced many twists and turns through our labor and birth journey and Emily stayed by our side to help us and always knew the next question to ask. We are very grateful for Emily's support during our birth, we couldn't imagine having the experience of bringing our son into this world without her by our side!

Emily was incredibly helpful to me and my newborn son during our first week of breastfeeding (and his life!). I needed guidance on getting a better latch and positions to feed him where he could get a deeper attachment to feed- I’m a first time mom btw. He went from getting little milk (which I had plenty of but he couldn’t eat well with the poor latch) to gaining two pounds at his three week pediatrician appointment!

Time was of the essence and Emily did a home visit with me when I wasn’t in physical shape to go to a doctors office for breastfeeding help. I greatly appreciated her willingness to drive to me the same day I called her! She was professional and careful, wore a mask and gloves and asked each time she leaned in to make sure I felt comfortable with her distance (COVID) and was great in talking me through what to do with my baby. Emily is a gentle soul with a gift and she really helped us when we needed it. She even followed up with a series of emails including helpful suggestions to my questions for meeting our continued breastfeeding challenges. I highly recommend her for one-on-one breastfeeding support!

My wife and I just recently used Bundle of Joy for our home birth. I have to admit I was very nervous about doing a home birth, but Emily was able to settle my nerves, and instill assurance through her in depth knowledge and confidence. Being able to take the back seat, but also being able to grab the reigns at any moment is a very difficult thing, but Emily was able to teach us certain techniques that benefitted us from pre-labor, active labor, through transition and even after. The way she was able to describe to me, and walk me through each process made this experience one that I could actually enjoy, instead of being so nervous and uncomfortable. As a father, husband, and client I would 100% recommend Bundle of Joy to anyone who seeking their ideal birth experience!

My experience with Emily as my doula far surpassed my expectations. Emily was available prior to, during, and after the birth of my child. As a transformative life experience, the birth of my child was one I truly wanted to cherish. Emily's way to assist me through an unmedicated home water birth was extraordinary! Emily's ability to verbally and physically encourage and support me throughout my labor was something I truly benefitted from. There were times that I didn't know what I needed in the moment and Emily immediately supported me. She listened to my needs, my dislikes, likes and was also able to support my husband through the entire experience. I truly believe I couldn't have given birth to our beautiful miracle without Emily. I will be forever grateful and happy to encourage future parents and mamas to have Emily as your doula. I remain in contact with Emily now for lactation support.
