I had the wonderful pleasure of working with Emily during my first preganancy and postpartum experience. Emily's presence is warm and comforting. It made me feel at ease, especially during my third trimester. She sat with my husband and I to thoroughly discuss birthing plans, and the process of having a physilogical birth. She supported us in creating a non-medical birth, in a medical setting, which is a very difficult thing to do. It will forever be a sense of pride for myself as a woman and mother. Emily has a surplus of resources and knowledge regarding pregnancy, birthing and postpartm. She supported me in those early postpartum days by holding space for me, tidying my space, holding baby while I showered and encouraged me to care for myself. Those moments are so raw. Emily knows how to care for women in vulnerable situations. If you are in a space where you are considering having a doula present in your process, I highly recommend Emily. She has become a friend and a fellow mom I love having in my community. I have also been attending her Sister Circles she holds monthly for other women in our Maine community. This is just another way Emily shows up to support her people & mothers. 

Thank you for everything you have shared with me and my family Emily, you will always be a special person to us - Shelby, Tim & Lani

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!
