Testimonial for Emma Rikel
Even prior to pregnancy, I knew I would want a doula when the time came. Once it was time to actually came to hire someone, it was stressful knowing how important getting the right person was. But once we found Emma and had a phone call with her, I had such a peace knowing we had found the absolute best fit! Each meeting prior to labor helped so much in making us feel prepared - especially my husband. He said there was so much he didn’t know that he didn’t know - for that reason alone I would recommend hiring a doula especially if you are first time parents.
Fast forward to the day of our baby being born, Emma was like having an angel on earth with me all day. No matter what I was feeling, she maintained the most calming presence all day long. I labored at home for about 5-6 hours until arriving at the hospital already 10 cm dilated and she was with me at my bedside, outside the shower, in the bathroom, down the stairs, and so on. She had the most gentle way of asking/recommending that I try a new position or try to move around, but she was also so respectful and understanding when something wasn’t working for me.
