Jennie H.’s Birth Testimonial
After not using a doula for my first birth and having a C-section, I knew I wanted a Christian doula who was a supportive, encouraging, confident doula to help me through the toughest parts of labor the second time around. I’m so glad I found Emily! With Emily’s support I had a wonderful VBAC experience.
From the first phone call, Emily felt like someone I had always known. She is kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable. Leading up to labor, she was very thorough in her process to make sure we had thought about all scenarios that might come up and how we would like to handle them. She was understanding that we might change our minds given certain circumstances as well. She gave us great movement techniques to get baby in the right position and for helping baby down during labor.
During labor, Emily was a calm and confident voice guiding and encouraging me. She was a sounding board when it was time to make decisions and helped explain or expand upon options that were given to us. She offered prayer for us and for our baby, which was a really important part of the birth for us.
Overall, from first meeting through the golden hour, Emily was the most amazing support we could have asked for.
