So, when we found out that we were pregnant, I contacted Emily right away. Talking with her before the birth helped to alleviate my concerns, as my first childbirth was less than perfect

Having Emily as our Doula was a blessing. I first met Emily when I attended her class at CorePower yoga. I loved her as a teacher and we got to chatting. When I found out she was a Doula I made a mental note because I knew that we might start  i’m planning for a second child. So, when we found out that we were pregnant, I contacted Emily right away. Talking with her before the birth helped to alleviate my concerns, as my first childbirth was lessthan perfect. We came up with the best hopes for the upcoming birth, knowing that nothing was guaranteed.  My first birth was natural and not quick. Although I would have been far against it the first time, I opted for a scheduled induction the second time, with Emily supporting as she knew my hopes to make this one go very differently from the first. My second birth was fantastic, with Emily and my husband by my side, and I wouldn’t change anything about it.

 All of the little services that Emily offers, from her networking connections to support groups, lactation groups, placenta processing, etc. were greatly appreciated. But Emily herself is the best gift of all. If you are debating on whether to have a Doula, don’t debate any longer. If we ever did have another child, I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to have Emily back again.
