Emerald was an invaluable addition to my birth team. As a first time mom wanting a home birth, Emerald helped me and my partner feel more confident with our decision while also being very clear regarding the logistics and supplies necessary.
Her added value is that she is willing to meet with you multiple times in person so that when the big day comes you feel like you are truly surrounded by familiar, supportive faces.
She was excellent at guiding me through helpful cues and images during labour, communicating with my partner, and assisting the midwife when she needed it. After the birth, Emerald helped me get comfortable with breastfeeding and came by to check up on us whenever we needed support.
Overall I had a very positive experience and would highly recommend Emerald's doula services to others.
