Testimonial for Emily Steadman
Emily is a very friendly, kind and patient doula. Having a baby amid the COVID pandemic was stressful as it is and with my first delivery we were overwhelmed with the information the delivery staff was giving us. Emily immediately showed us that she is very well informed and has a lot of experience with birthing and was able to explain a lot of birthing and lactation details prior to delivery. She was also very encouraging during labor and was treading carefully on what I was comfortable with. Although my delivery was fast ( thanks to the lunges and ball movements she helped me with) I had an unexpected postpartum complication. Emily stayed with us until she knew I was stable enough and her partner was able to come to take over. She also provided a lot of mental support to my husband during my traumatic postpartum period and was very flexible about coming by to be with me whenever we needed her. At one week postpartum she came by to check on how I was doing and shared some breastfeeding tips as well which helped me latch and eventually encouraged me to successfully breastfeed my baby( which I initially thought was impossible owing to my complication) . Emily has been more than what we could've asked for and I highly recommend having her as your doula!
