I can't recommend Emily Nixon enough for doula services. She's so much more than your average doula. This was my second home birth. I had my first in GA with an incredible team and had very high standards from my first experience. She did not disappoint and is top tier. In birth she held space for me so beautifully and helped me hold myself together during for me the dreadful PP period. She has a way that supports women and mothers on their journey so calmly and openly and I believe is the best in Maine. I'm so grateful I had her on my side throughout my journey. I didn't have the best pregnancy this go around and hired her at 39 weeks! I wish I had hired her from the beginning as I believe it would have changed my pregnancy journey this go around. Do yourself a favor and have her on your team!

Emily has been such a huge blessing to work with! She has been the most incredible addition to our birth team this time around and we have noticed such a difference in my care and mindset because of it. She has been extremely encouraging, exceptionally supportive, full of wisdom and wise words, and has held such soothing and calming presence every time she enters the space. I couldn't be more pleased with our time together and will forever be so grateful for her role in the birth of our daughter!
