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!
