Testimonial for Emily Cohen-Moreira
Working with Emily was an absolute pleasure. She is knowledgeable, accessible and a wonderful confidant to have throughout pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum. She is flexible, giving her advice only when it is asked and relying on the mother to determine what is best for her in all situations. I didn't realize how important it was to have a birth plan until I met with Emily. Her prompted questions made that process very easy and helped me feel confident about my decisions as my due date approached. I particularly appreciate Emily's humor and ability to make all aspects of childbirth enjoyable to learn about. She has magical hands when it comes to calming massage techniques. During our pre-labor sessions with Emily she showed us techniques that can help turn a baby who is not in an ideal position for birth. We practiced these exercises extensively and I feel confident that they helped my labor progress quickly, very quickly in fact. Emily arrived when I was fully dilated and assisted with getting me to the hospital safely and quickly. Emily was right by my side encouraging me during the pushing phase, which definitely helped me feel comfortable and confident about the part of labor I was most apprehensive about. In the hospital following birth Emily was such an amazing advocate and took care of our needs and communication with the hospital staff. This allowed me to focus solely on the baby and the magical time that follows after giving birth. I had many challenges with breastfeeding following the birth of my son. Emily had great ideas on how to improve the baby's latch and positioning. She checked in on me and was a reassuring voice that is so crucial for new mothers.
