Testimonial for Emily Cohen-Moreira
My husband and I met Emily while attending birthing preparation classes at the Brooklyn Birthing Center. Emily, who was the class facilitator, presented as very knowledgeable and professional. On a personal level, she was very approachable and welcoming, making us feel at ease. After attending the first two class sessions, we decided to look for a doula and were so happy that the search ended with Emily! Her services were so comprehensive; it was exactly what we needed as first time parents. Although the birthing classes were informative and helpful, Emily’s services as a doula exceeded our expectations. Before the birth, she was attentive to any questions I had via phone or text, often offering recommendations and encouraging words of support, especially considering that, I was overdue by a week. When it came time for Emily to assist with my induced labor, her calming presence and flexibility to changes in our birthing plan helped my husband and I keep our emotions in check. Post-delivery, Emily hand held me through breastfeeding and offered plenty of support to get little one and me up and going. She remained accessible to answer any questions that I had.
Emily is a consummate professional. She truly uses a family centered approach. She conveyed a genuine regard for our concerns and decisions throughout the process, which helped ease my husband and I through the various transitions before, during and after the birthing process. We are so thankful that Emily was a part of our birthing journey!
