We had meet with other doulas before but just didn’t feel quite right about or connect with anyone until we met Emily. We knew we wanted a doula that was a believer and that’s about it. Emily is just lovely! She was so helpful leading up to labor. She went through the entire labor process, what it would look/feel like, and what her role would be. She has many tools in her belt and discussed all of them with us. She was so great at working out a birthplace with us. She even came to our birth center appointment with me. Emily was a huge help during labor. As a first time mom, I had no idea what to really expect and she was phenomenal at talking me though contractions and especially though transition. She worked alongside our midwives flawlessly. And as just a wonderful bonus on top of being a fabulous doula - she took pictures of our birth! They were incredible and she so perfectly and naturally captured the work and arrival of our sweet girl. We hardly were aware she was even taking pictures and they are absolute treasures to me. I am so glad we had Emily to walk along side of us and support us though our first baby! It was such a great support to know that Emily who is very experienced, both professionally and personally (4 of her own!), was praying for me and bringing the Lord into our birth. It was the greatest day of my life and Emily truly helped make it happen all according to plan.
