Testimonial for Emerald Sarah Appleby
Emerald supported me through two pregnancies and was an incredible source of guidance, reassurance, and care throughout both postpartum periods. Her support after my first cesarean was exceptional and far exceeded my expectations. She helped me establish breastfeeding, allowing me to get some much-needed rest on my first night home - a gift I will always be grateful for.
When the midwives became concerned about my baby’s weight gain, Emerald brought a sense of calm and confidence during what felt like a very stressful time. She offered practical solutions, connected me with someone to rent a breast pump, and was always just a phone call or message away whenever questions or concerns arose during pregnancy or after birth.
Pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period can be incredibly vulnerable times, especially when navigating so much that is new and unknown. Having someone as knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely caring as Emerald by my side made all the difference. She was generous with her time, always listened without judgment, and consistently went above and beyond to ensure I felt supported and cared for.
I wholeheartedly recommend Emerald to anyone looking for a doula for pregnancy, birth, or postpartum care. Her kindness, expertise, and unwavering support made one of the biggest differences in my experience, and I can’t imagine having gone through it without
