I highly recommend working with Emily! She is thoughtful, intuitive and brings a light and warmth to what can be such a mentally, emotionally and physically challenging experience. She checked in with me regularly before, during and after the birth day, went above and beyond what she was contracted to do, and made me feel like I had a companion in my journey (besides my partner) from the first meeting. Besides being a great resource and source of comfort, she takes lovely photos, too. You won't be sorry you chose her as your birth doula.
