From the moment I spoke with Emily on the phone, I felt a sense of a calm. She spoke positively, shared a genuine interest in my birth plan and was respectful of my wants and needs. She kept in touch and often checked in to see how I was. When I called Emily in the middle of the night after my water broke, she quickly put my nervous mind at ease, instantly sharing words of courage and affirmation. She quickly reminded me that I could do this and would soon meet my baby which would be so amazing. While we had an emergency, Emily was able to support my husband when he couldn't be my side and she quickly met me in my room when the time was right. She took care of me, gave me space and reopened her arms for me (with zero hesitation) when I was ready. She spoke up and advocated for me when I couldn't find my voice. Emily is one of the sweetest souls I have had the pleasure of meeting. While my birth didn't go as planned, she was right, I got to meet to my baby and it was so amazing. She was a fantastic support system for both my husband and myself, checking in quite a few times after delivery. She also opened her heart and arms to another family in need at the hospital, while still making sure she was there for my family. What a truly amazing human!
