Testimonial for Emma O'Brien
Working with Emma was an absolute pleasure and blessing. We decided we needed a doula after realizing that our lives at the time were way too busy. My husband was running for political office, I was interm director at my job and we have 2 other boys under 10. We first interviewed with her and she gave us the space to interview other Douglas before deciding to move forward. We decided to work with her and it was worth it. She was the right balance between emotional support, education, and empowerment. Emma is not pushy and has a very gentle demeanor. She involved my husband every step of the way and on the big day my husband was feeling a bit anxious and mentally heavy so having her step in to support me when my contractions were getting more intense was very helpful. It was also good to have someone coach me through the pain and helped me to honor my wishes (which was a natural birth with no epidural) even when I doubted myself! Our baby boy came fast and she met us at the hospital just in time and captured that beautiful moment for us. She continued to support and advocate for my wishes while at the hospital and checked in after we came home. I highly recommend her as a doula!
