I am beyond grateful to have had Emily as my doula for both of my births -- she is a rock, a guide, a wise woman. She is quiet when you need quiet, steady and strong when you feel unsure, friendly and warm and a mama/grandma to her core. My two births were so different, and for each one she made me feel so cared for, she empowered me, and she helped me have the birth I wanted. The first time I wanted to arrive at the hospital pushing and that's what we did! The second time my labor slowed and she found a way to help me rest when I needed it, at a time when I would have said it was impossible for me to be able to rest. Both times she always had a solution to whatever I needed, and most of the time she thought of the thing I needed before I did.
She helped my husband be involved and helpful during labor, and also knew when to step in and help me herself. She also provided us with so much knowledge about the whole process of pregnancy and labor, and helped me to find the best way and place to have the birth I wanted.
I can't say enough wonderful things about Emily as a doula. If you are at all considering a doula, I will tell you that I would never want to give birth without one, and frankly, I'd never want to give birth without Emily. She's incredible at what she does!
