Testimonial for Emerald Ortiz
As a mom to a one year old, and pregnant with my second child (due in 2 months), I decided I needed a doula. I was nauseous my whole pregnancy, working two jobs and going to school. Feeling overwhelmed with more appointments, my doctor informed me about possibly getting a doula. The very next day I had encountered a doula, and she motivated me. My home visitor came up with a list of doulas in my area who were covered by my medical. I found Emerald's name and reached out to her asap since I was due very soon. She was able to have a phone conversation with my spouse and I and answer all of our questions. Right away, she supported me and my family before giving birth, during labor and after (post-partum). She made us all feel comfortable. Emerald is very helpful, nonjudgmental and wonderful! She was available mornings, afternoons, evenings in-person or phone. She assisted with not just the baby but chores around the house, so that I can shower or do something for myself. I breastfed so if I had any questions she pointed me in the right direction. After maternity leave I went back to school and work, she helped me with the babies' pm routines so I can study for my exams as well. I am very thankful for her and I highly recommend.
