“The advice Gill dispensed was invaluable, from endless guidance on breastfeeding to tips on how to “nudge” the baby towards a better sense of night and day.”
“Even before I gave birth she talked with me about my birth plan and helped me to feel confident about my decisions, while keeping me to keep an open mind.”

What families say
I found Gill Emery and Boston Doula Services through DONA International as I was intrigued by the certifications of this practice that was still so new to me. I reached out in late October, wondering if I was too late to fit into her schedule.
If you are reading this review to try to decide whether to hire Gill, look no further and book her immediately. I’d consider having another baby just so I could hang out with her again (joking…kind of). I hired Gill for some help with my newborn, whom I’m raising as a single mom.
Gill was an absolute lifesaver for our family. She was with us for the first 8 weeks post-partum, starting with mostly night shifts and then transitioning to day shifts. This was our first child and I knew immediately after speaking with Gill that she would be the perfect fit for us.
Gill is more than just a doula. She will be your friend, therapist, mother, caretaker, cheerleader, and so much more. She is the best gift a family could have, especially during postpartum. We don't have any family in the area, so my postpartum journey lacked family support for the most part.
