Testimonial for Emily Wannenburg
I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Emily as our doula. Our first meeting was completely unrushed, she thoroughly answered all my questions and provided additional information I hadn’t thought of. From then she made herself available to me 24/7, she encouraged me to reach out to her at anytime w/ any questions or concerns and to send pictures. She was also great about checking in on me, which showed me how much she truly cares.
Once I started labor Emily gave me a call to check in, and came to our house the second we asked. The moment she arrived my husband and I felt instant safety and security. Upon arriving at our home she quietly worked her magic; getting things in order for our midwife and for postpartum care. She was a gentle, reassuring presence, coaching me through contractions, keeping in contact with our midwife, while also including my husband. When I was exhausted and frustrated with pushing I said under my breath “I can’t” and without missing a beat, heard Emily say back, “Yes you can.” I know without a doubt I would not have had such a smooth homebirth experience without her. I am forever grateful to her and cherish the photos and videos she quietly captured. Finally, I will say she was the last person to leave making sure I was comfortable, and the first person to come back and check on us postpartum, offering again unrushed breastfeeding support and postpartum knowledge (plus responding to a middle of the night text message)
We love Emily and can not recommend her highly enough to anyone thinking about hiring a doula!
