Ashley Collins from Emerald Doulas was our birth doula, we also used Suzanne Lee and Melanie Patrick (as well as Ashley) for postpartum support after our son was born. I cannot say enough about these women. They made our birth and immediate postpartum experience so amazing. They are all incredibly experienced, patient, well-informed, compassionate and a joy to be around.
Ashely was a huge asset to us during our birth. Both my husband and I later remarked how we had no idea how we would have gotten through that (very long) day without her.
I feel almost all my knowledge of newborn care and most of my confidence as a new parent came from having doula support. I know it helped me through a difficult birth and it continues to aid me in being a better, more rested, more cared-for parent. Additionally, Emerald Doulas has provided both my husband and me a gathering place for new parents, which is so vital especially in the first few months. I really love this business and, more importantly, the women who run it, they are really the best of the best in my opinion!
