Testimonial for Emily Cohen-Moreira
Our experience with Emily could not have been better. She is an incredibly energetic, positive and supportive person who is able to take charge in very challenging circumstances while remaining sensitive to the preferences of her clients. I had a long, slow and diffcult labor, and Emily was a source of strength and comfort throughout. She stayed in close contact from the moment labor began and arrived at our apartment when we simply couldn't manage my discomfort on our own anymore (although my contractions, even after 24 hours, had not become regular nor as close enough together as they would normally be for her to travel to a client). She even left the birth class she was conducting early to get to us right away. She stayed overnight at our apartment, taking turns with my husband and guiding him in different techniques for managing my pain. She kept our spirits up as we became increasingly exhausted. Eventually, we left for the hospital and, after almost 48 hours of labor, I made the difficult choice to have an epidural (I had wanted to give birth naturally but was progressing unusually slowly and with a great deal of pain). Emily was extremely supportive, which helped ease my disappointment. During the pushing phase, she gave me constructive advice while cheering me on. After the birth, she stayed with us until she was sure we were settled and arranged a post-partum/lactaction support meeting shortly after we left the hospital. We were relieved and grateful to have had such effective and unflagging support throughout labor and thrilled to welcome our healthy baby boy Luca into the world. Thank you Emily!
