Where do I start? Emilee has truly been a godsend during my pregnancy and of course during our unexpected emergency c-section to bring our lovely daughter into this world. I am someone who is of high stress & anxiety - I wanted a natural birth, completely unmedicated but we all know birth has its own plans. When I ended up in the emergency room due to Chorioamnionitis and major signs of Preeclampsia very abruptly at 38 weeks - Emilee dropped everything and came to the hospital at 4am to help prepare me for our c-section and get my fiancé through the process as well. Without her - we truly wouldn't haven't been able to emotionally handle the cards we were dealt but she helped us feel confident in every decision being made and of course was there while we brought our daughter into the world. I highly recommend Emilee, her emotional support as well as her incredibly intelligence with pregnancy & postpartum care is unmatched. Choosing a doula is a wonderful thing but choosing Emilee is even more incredible, I've never felt more supported than I do with her. We are now in our postpartum care and she is there with any answers to all of my thousands of questions as a first time mom and we are so thankful for her care and support. She is incredibly dedicated to this profession and stands above all others. You will not regret working with her, she's amazing!
