Testimonial for Emily Hursh
Emily was my birth doula as well as my postpartum doula. As a Single Mother by Choice it was incredibly important to me to have someone present at the birth who I trusted and felt could be a true partner in that process. Emily was an amazing advocate, frequently helping me to communicate my needs and desires to hospital staff, and listening to me in difficult moments. She was the best possible person to have by my side during a difficult experience that ended in an unplanned c-section. I am confident that no one else would have been as effective a supporter and I'm certain I made the ideal choice in having her as my sole support person during the birth.
Postpartum Emily was a source of calm and consistently provided needed information and scaffolding as I navigated new motherhood. I spaced her sessions out significantly and she was part of my experience well into my daughter's fourth month of life. Emily helped me navigate everything from the first bath to sleep training and I am hugely grateful for her ongoing presence in our lives. I know I am more set up for success in the long run having had her support early on.
