Testimonial for Emily Thayer
It was definitely a pleasure to have Emily to support me during my pregnancy, labor/delivery, and postpartum. My first 2 deliveries without a doula had some complications that made me realize that I needed extra support and an advocate to ensure my experience this 3rd time went more smoothly. Emily provided everything I needed and more to make this birth successful. She was constantly in contact with me to check in and make sure I was ok mentally and physically. She also provided lots of research and education to keep me informed on all of my options in order to be able to make decisions confidently. Emily allowed me to make my decisions for my birth plan without judgement and helped me execute those decisions during my labor and delivery; even when things got tough and I couldn't speak up for myself, she made sure my desires were expressed to the medical team. After a traumatic delivery for my son, Emily stayed by my side to keep me calm, helped me initiate breastfeeding, and gave me a massage to relieve tension in my face and neck to help me relax so I could continue to nurse him. The support from her has even continued postpartum with check-ins via text and recommendations for other services that I have needed for myself and my baby. I would 100% recommend Emily for anyone looking for a doula.
