We were so extremely lucky to have Emerald step in to be our doula on short notice last year. Our original doula ended up having a scheduling conflict, and referred us to several others who had volunteered to replace her. We jumped at the chance to have Emerald. She was just the best; attended appointments with us, was available to me through all my distress, then helping us through the long and protracted birth process. And when I was rushed into an emergency C-section and my partner was too emotionally distraught to go in with me, it was Emerald who went in with me. During one of the scariest times of my life, she was my lifeline to keeping my anxiety and panic attacks at bay. She even took the best pictures of my son being born. Any family would be lucky to have her, she is seriously knowledgable, empathetic, and professional while remaining compassionate and helpful.
