Testimonial for Emily Berninger CD(DONA), MSW
I’m so grateful Emily was my doula for the birth of my first child. As a first-time mom, I felt a lot of anxiety leading up to the birth, and Emily helped me work through it while making me feel heard, supported, and prepared.
During my hospital birth, she advocated for me with my birth team while remaining respectful of my needs and preferences. She knew when to step in with support and when to give me space, so I never felt crowded or pressured—just reassured that she was there whenever I needed her.
Emily also captured the sweetest video of my baby’s first cry, a precious moment I’ll treasure forever and never would have thought to record myself.
I’m incredibly thankful Emily was part of my birth experience. Her compassion, thoughtfulness, and calm support made such a difference, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional doula.
