The doula support Emily provided to us was amazing, and I highly recommend her to support you on your labor journey.
Prior to labor, we met with Emily to understand our expectations. Emily has a non-judgmental attitude. She provides information so you can evaluate what the right decision is for you. Emily makes you feel empowered to make decisions.
Emily has a wealth of information to share. We wanted to take an infant CPR class, and a childbirth Ed class, and Emily had recommendations. I wanted to take prenatal yoga, and Emily had a recommendation. When I wanted a prenatal massage, she was a license prenatal massage therapist. All of her recommendations were fantastic.
During our on-call time, Emily checked-in without being overwhelming. She checked-in on doctor’s appointments and any questions that came up as a result of them.
Emily prepared a set of birth hypnosis recordings, which I really enjoyed. It was time I set aside to help me mentally prepare for labor & delivery.
When I let Emily know labor started, she stayed in constant communication to track my progress. She gave me ideas on how to manage the early labor, and as it got more intense, we agreed on when she would join us to continue to support us in person. Emily joined us and we headed to the hospital, where she was critical in my labor support. She was there to provide physical and emotional support. When I needed pressure on my back during contractions, she was there. When I felt like I couldn’t keep going, she encouraged me. When I was having trouble managing the pain, she was a clear and confident voice urging me forward and reminding me of my strength.
During the post-partum period, Emily was very accessible when I had questions or concerns. Overall, Emily was invaluable to my husband and I.
