Emily is 10/10 AMAZING to work with. From the meetings leading up to giving birth, to actually giving birth, and then postpartum. She is so knowledgeable and I love that she has a background in medical but also believes in doing things naturally, if that's the way you want to do it. She was a huge support during labor and advocated for what I wanted. I truly do not think I could have had a vaginal birth without her there. Now, I keep recommending her to all my friends thinking about having a baby !

My wife and I weren't sure if we wanted a Duola, but after we interviewed a few, we decided to invest in Emily. I can think of few better decisions we made during the course of our journey. She is a nurse with medical knowledge, a mother, and understands birth in a way you can't if you haven't experienced it.

She met with us to develop goals, helped me—the partner—advocate, and was a constant resource for all the inevitable questions. On the day, I would have been lost without her. But she helped me figure out exactly how to support my wife at every moment. We are both convinced labor would have been hours longer without her expertise.

Even after, the nurses pulled us aside and said she was one of the best duolas they’d ever had. After birth, she’s been kind, supportive, did our newborn photography, and cemented herself as an incredibly positive part of the whole experience. I highly, highly recommend her.

Emily did an incredible job as our Doula from beginning to end. Her style demonstrates a blend of confidence, experience & knowledge that is complimented by her training as a nurse. My 1st born was by cesarean. With my 2nd, I wanted to have a VBAC. I decided to find a doula later in my pregnancy because I lacked confidence that my body could birth vaginally. When I finally convinced myself to try, we reached out to Emily. After several interviews, my husband and I chose her as our doula. She was encouraging and confident that I could have a VBAC. By then, I was in my 36th week and there was little time, but Emily was able to offer lots of options for us to get our two pre-natal visits with her completed right away. She is very organized & economical with time, so she was able to share a lot of information and support of my needs in each visit and we never felt rushed. She provided handouts for stretches and positions to practice in preparation for labor. We met her at her home office for one visit and she traveled the hour to come to my home for the other visit. At 40 weeks, I decided to schedule Emily's induction support services. On the day that we met, I also had my next ultrasound scheduled. They found that my fluid was a bit lower than they liked. We waited 24 hours before accepting pitocin however, I already had mild contractions because of using the methods Emily showed us. Emily always encouraged me to listen to my own intuition, to remain positive, (since we knew my baby was not in any danger) and to do what I felt was best. Ultimately, I had my VBAC after 16 hours of labor. Emily joined us at the hospital once the pitocin kicked in and she was a wonderful support through the labor and until baby successfully latched. It was so nice to have her back for the postpartum visit, and it felt like visiting with an old friend. I am grateful to Emily for all her skills and care & I highly recommend her services.

My husband and I decided late in pregnancy (~34 weeks) that we wanted a doula, and we could not have made a better choice than Emily. She was incredibly supportive throughout the whole process, offering exercises for late pregnancy to improve my overall comfort, and checking in regularly to see if there was anything that I needed. Once labor started, she helped to talk me through different positions to labor in, communicated my needs to the medical staff when I was in the middle of contractions and couldn't talk, and overall was a comforting presence in the hospital room. I can't say for sure that my labor was faster because of her coaching, but I can say that, with it being my first pregnancy, I would have been much less prepared and much less calm during delivery without her there.

I had the pleasure of having Emily by my side from the time I found out I was pregnant to now! Emily gave birth to her baby girl less than 2 weeks before my son made his big debut (three weeks early)!! Even though Emily was taking care of her newborn and toddler, she didn’t hesitate to still act as my doula and my dear friend. She planned to be present physically… even asking if her husband would drive her all the way to Chester County to be there (I told her she was crazy with a 12 day old at home!!)— she didn’t hesitate. Although, she couldn’t be there in person she was there for me every step of the way, virtually. Whether it was FaceTime, text messages, reaching out to my sister to get updates .. she was always checking in (during, after and to this day) on my baby but also me. I loved a 2 am check in. Anytime I have a question or concern I know Emily has the answer, would find the answer, or be a listening ear. She is someone I can rely on and trust whole-heartily. She may not have been physically present during my birth but she was there every step of the way. She is so passionate about this and anyone who has the chance to see her in action is one lucky mama and baby.

My husband and I had the pleasure of having Emily as our doula for our daughter’s birth. We decided an all natural birth was our goal, so we discussed our potential birth plan with Emily. She answered every question we had and helped to make our final decision.

We opted for an all natural birth with clinical support from midwives. Emily was there to help with everything- starting from the minute my water broke to leaving the birth center after our daughter was born.

She helped track contractions, alleviate discomfort with essential oils and massage techniques, and countless other things. She worked hand in hand with the midwives to make sure I was as comfortable as possible. With her background as a nurse, I knew I was in good hands with Emily as our doula.

I could not recommend Emily enough. She was there for our first time parent postpartum questions and checked in with us regularly. (To this day she continues to check in on us.)

We could not be more grateful to have had her as our doula. You will not find anyone as passionate as Emily!
