I just had my first baby in February and let me say I could not have done an all natural birth like I wanted without the help of Emily! The prenatal appointments were awesome and so informative of what to expect in the upcoming weeks. I also loved being able to text or call her with any questions... I never felt "silly" for asking her anything. She is so nonjudgmental and so very kind! Fast forward to when my water broke but yet I was not experiencing any contractions. Emily worked with me for over 8 hours at home to help get the baby’s head engaged before heading to the hospital. I truly believed this helped my baby move down and let me go into labor naturally. I was able to avoid any interventions to get labor started, thanks to the help of Emily and her magic doula tricks! While in labor I could not have asked for better support. I experienced back labor the whole time and Emily was great with applying counter pressure while I was having contractions. I loved how in tune she was and that I wouldn't even need to tell her I was having a contraction, she just knew. She totally let me set the tone for what I wanted and I couldn't have asked for anything better. I highly recommend Emily whether it is your first time giving birth or if you've already had a baby.. She's the best!
