Testimonial for Emerald Ortiz
I cannot speak highly enough about Emerald and the profound impact she had on both of my birthing experiences. From our very first meeting, I knew I was in excellent hands. Her warmth, empathy, and genuine passion for supporting mothers shone through, instantly putting me at ease. Throughout my pregnancies Emerald provided invaluable guidance, answering (what felt like to me) endless questions with patience and expertise. She empowered me to make informed decisions about my birth plan, ensuring that my preferences and desires were respected and honored.
As my due date approached, Emerald was a constant source of support, offering encouragement and reassurance during moments of doubt and anxiety. When the big day finally arrived, having her by my side was an absolute game-changer. Her calming presence and steady guidance helped me navigate each contraction with confidence and strength. She intuitively knew when to offer words of encouragement, when to provide a gentle massage, and when to simply hold space for me to surrender to the birthing process.
During labor, she worked seamlessly with my medical team, advocating for my needs and ensuring that I felt heard and respected every step of the way. Her extensive knowledge of birthing techniques and comfort measures was truly impressive, and I felt immensely supported knowing that she was there to guide me through each stage of labor.
When my beautiful babies finally made their entrance into the world, “auntie” (because she felt like family at this point) Emerald was there to celebrate with me, sharing in the joy and wonder of new life. She took the absolute best photos allowing me and my husband to be in and enjoy the moment.
In the end, my birthing experiences exceeded all of my expectations, thanks in large part to Emerald. She is an absolute gem, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
