Emily was our doula when we had our first baby. We felt comfortable and built trust with her right away . She was reliable, compassionate, and encouraging throughout the entire process. I truly cannot imagine my birth story without Emily. She provided needed comfort and support during the most difficult task of my life, natural childbirth. We are forever grateful for you Emily and will cherish you in our hearts always.

Having Emily at my second birth was the game changer for my positive mindset throughout my unmedicated labor and delivery! She was there to offer exactly what I needed before I even knew I needed it, whether that was a drink of water, change of position or the encouraging voice I heard when my own inner voice was telling me I couldn't continue.

After a traumatic hospital birth experience in 2016 that left my son injured, and myself wheelchair-bound and confined to my home for 6 months, I decided to go with a birth center and I needed to hire a Doula this time around. From our 1st conversation, I knew I wanted Emily to be my Doula. She had a sweet and calming presence, and I knew she would be a great advocate in case things went awry this time.

Emily was so supportive and helpful at the birth of my second baby. She has such a calm and peaceful demeanor. She added the perfect balance of positive energy and also focused support. Prior to the birth, she met with us to learn more about us and what we were envisioning for the birth. She was very in tune with our hopes and needs. We love Emily!

Hana & Cole’s Birth Story

As a first time mom I knew I wanted to hire a doula, to have extra support and encouragement hoping for a natural unmedicated childbirth in a hospital setting (with midwives). Finding a Christian doula who could provide spiritual support was also important to me. It felt like a daunting task at first but I google searched “Christian doula” and I’ll forever be glad I did! I found Emily’s website and reached out, and Emily was very prompt in responding.

Christine & Anthony’s Birth Story

The day before I was 41 weeks due, my husband and I went to the doctor for an ultrasound to check on our baby to make sure everything was well and he was healthy. I planned to let labor start naturally if possible, and was thinking I would give birth close to 42 weeks since I hadn’t felt any Braxton Hicks. This did not end up being the case because during the ultrasound, they could not find any measurable amniotic fluid. Because of this, the doctor said an induction was necessary for the safety of our baby.

The day of my birth was exciting and unexpected. My son came a week and a half early but like most pregnant women once you are 37 weeks you don’t care when they come out. 11AM Thursday- That morning I felt pretty normal. I had a few Braxton Hicks moments in the morning but nothing major. My mom came to town a few weeks early and was planning on staying a few weeks after to help with our son. So the day of my birth me and my mom were facetiming my grandparents. We were about 5 minutes into the conversation and all of a sudden I had a sharp pain in my bladder area, heard a pop and then a small gush of water came out of my vagina. I hung up with my grandparents and ran to the bathroom while yelling to my mom “ I think my water just broke!”

The day Malloryn was born, I woke up to do some prenatal yoga and was feeling tired because I didn’t sleep well the night before. I was upset that I hadn’t gone into labor yet. I made an appointment to see a chiropractor that day and right before I left the house, I had a very big contraction!
