Testimonial for Emerald Doulas
I don't know how anyone survives pregnancy, birth, or the first year of new parenthood without a team like Emerald Doulas. My husband and I agree that we got our money's worth well before I even delivered - Melanie and Kallyn helped me navigate the final, difficult months of my pregnancy. I went into every prenatal appointment feeling prepared and empowered thanks to their guidance, and the community prenatal meetings and childbirth class prepared us as well as we possibly could have been for such a life changing event. We have a lot of regrets about our EmDo experience - that we didn't hire them sooner, that we didn't call Kallyn in earlier during labor, and that we didn't take advantage of their postpartum doula services. When Kallyn arrived during labor, I felt so loved and cared for and empowered. She guided us through some unexpected turns, took such loving care of all of us, helped to give us the birth and the postpartum experience that we hoped for, and took photos of the experience that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. Kallyn & Melanie's home visits were a balm in those first, hard days at home. And there is no way I would have made it one week, let alone a year and counting, breastfeeding without the lactation support we received from Victoria before our son's birth, in the difficult early days, and throughout his first year. As amazing as this team of birth professionals is, what's even more impressive is the community that they have built. The weekly hangouts were sanity savers during my maternity leave. The love and non-judgmental support I have received from this community, both in person and online, has been invaluable and is worth many times more what we paid in doula fees. Hiring Emerald Doulas was definitely the best decision I made during my pregnancy, and easily ranks in the top 5 best decisions I've made in my life.
