What families say
My wife and I had a great time in Emilie's birth class. She is very thorough and approaches the material in a supportive and straightforward manner. She patiently answered all of our questions and clearly has a ton of experience.
We hired Emilie for our first home birth in 2022 and she was so amazing that we hired her again for our second. I wasn’t sure if doula support was needed in a second birth, but it turns out that having Emilie on our team was one of the best decisions we made.
When I first signed up for Emilie’s 5-week in-person birth class, I was honestly pretty nervous. I wasn’t sure if my body would be able to handle an unmedicated birth, and I carried a lot of fear about what postpartum might look like.
My husband and I are so thankful Emilie was our doula during the birth of our first baby. She brought calming, positive reassurance and practical help to our prenatal, labor, and postpartum journey.
