Testimonial for Emily Wannenburg
Emily has an amazing sense of calmness about her. Just her presence alone would help me relax, but she would never stop there. She would do whatever it is you needed her to do in that moment; she is truly dedicated to helping each mama experience the most peaceful birth possible.
Prior to my son's birth, each time we would meet with her, she would just gently rub my belly, almost as if she, too, were connecting with my son. She trained me in Hypnobirthing, where you train your body to respond to cues (affimations, music, colors) that help your body automatically relax. To be completely honest, I wasn't sure if Hypnobirthing would work for me, but it truly does work! You have to believe in yourself. Emily always had the utmost confidence in me, and her reassurances helped me trust myself and my body more to do the job it was meant to do.
My son's due date came as went, as most due dates do. At ten days overdue, she gently suggested acupuncture, an ancient Chinese medicine. She had someone that she worked with that she trusted, and sure enough it was another wonderful experience. The acupuncturist had an 100% success rate of women giving birth within 24 hours, and that was our case as well. My body knew just what to do, and all I had to do was put on my Rainbow Relaxation music and relax my body. Emily came to my house at 1:30 in the morning to check on me, and we went right over to the birthing center, where things sped up quickly. She worked to get me very comfortable in a warm bath and continuted to pour warm water over me, while pressing cold washclothes on my face and chest. She encouraged my husband to be right there with me, always making sure that he felt needed and included.
We had a beautiful water birth at 4:27 that Sunday morning, and I will be forever grateful to Emily for the role she played in our son's birth.
