As your birth doula, we offer non-judgmental emotional, physical, and informational support as you prepare for your birth and during labor. We help you explore the options available to you and fully support the decisions that you make about what is best for you. Some ways we can support you during labor include assistance with positions and water therapy, creating a calm space, support with relaxation and breathing, counter pressure and massage, encouragement and reassurance, and keeping you nourished…to name a few!
“Emily was a truly wonderful support to me and my husband during my labor. She has a very loving and reassuring presence, and I sincerely believe I could not have labored naturally as long as I did without Emily by my side. She is genuine, intuitive, professional, and very knowledgeable and my partner and I recommend her without hesitation to any soon-to-be parents!”

“Emily brought so much experience and wisdom to our pregnancy and labor. She helped us prepare for the birth by asking thoughtful questions, listening carefully to our hopes and values, and helping us form our birth preferences. She was continuously compassionate, knowledgable, and encouraging throughout the labor and birth, and my husband especially wanted to note what a huge help, comfort, and relief it was to have her continuously there. Emily made the experience much more enjoyable to us as first-time parents, and we highly recommend her!”
