TESTIMONIALS
The single best decision I made throughout my pregnancy was to sign up for a hypnobirthing course. I felt informed and calm the whole way through the birth of our son.

BIRTH DOULA EXPERIENCES
"Emily always seemed to have a tool in her emotional and practical toolkit to help in any given moment throughout the birth. Emily’s birth preparation session was also hugely helpful, it had the right amount of technical knowledge alongside emotional support. She also gave me some great things to practice before birth (like breathing techniques, visualisations and birth affirmations)".
"Emily respected my wishes wholeheartedly, reminded me of them during times when I struggled during the birth and ensured they were understood and adhered to (as far and safely as possible) by the midwife team. Despite this being Emily’s first live birth experience, she had a tremendous amount of knowledge."

"Emily is very knowledgeable and friendly. She’s been a great support from the first time we met. She helped me to create my birth plan, decide on the most important aspects like pain relief, third stage of labour and explained the whole process of birth. Both my husband and I found all the information very helpful as we never went to any prenatal classes".
"Emily made us both feel calm and confident. My husband appreciated the care she gave to him as well as me. It just felt like it was right that Emily was there for us. It never felt like she was in the way. She helped my husband help me".
"Emily celebrated the birth with me and made me feel like I had done an incredible job. Emily helped me to understand everything that was going to happen next and was beside me when the midwives were busy with the baby. Emily made sure I could start breastfeeding as soon as possible and set up pillows and my position to help facilitate this. Emily made sure everything was in place and I was confident and comfortable before leaving. She also ensured my husband was happy and confident with his roles after the birth".

"I chose Emily because the words on her website spoke to me, echoing my own wishes and desires around birth. On interviewing her I immediately clicked with Emily. On speaking with her I could tell that she would respect my wishes and the role of the midwives (which was very important to me)".
"Emily talked with the midwives, made sure I understood any choices given to me. She always brought me back to my hypnobirthing breathing, provided sustenance (for me and my husband), lip balm, emotional support, she reminded me of the physiology of the labour process when needed, she gave me and my husband space when it felt right and was present whenever required. Emily worked alongside the midwives really well and to me they felt like a team".

"She was very supportive when we found out about our baby being breech at 37 weeks She also supported me in learning hypnotherapy techniques and recommended some reading. I wanted to have a natural labour and possibility of c section made me very anxious. Emily however explained how I could adapt my birth plan in the way that allowed delayed cord clamping and skin to skin contact which I thought weren’t possible in the case of a c section" .
"She made sure I always made an informed decision providing me with all the information in regards to my questions".

POSTNATAL DOULA EXPERIENCES
"Her emotional support was crucial. As a first time mum I often felt like I was failing but Emily always made me feel like I was doing an amazing job. She made a lot of research on my behalf including groups I could join with my baby and encouraged me to go out more often".
"I had daily messages from Emily and she visited our family at home as soon as I wanted her to come over. We talked through the birth experience as a whole, celebrated it and Emily asked if there was anything I would have wanted differently from her and/or the hospital staff. Emily ensured to let me know about baby groups I could attend and breastfeeding support groups available. Emily talked through further postnatal support she would provide and could provide going forward. She also arrived with healthy home baked snacks which were a real treat".
"Thank you so much for our session today, you wouldn't believe the positivity it brought me!"
"I looked forward to our meetings every time. I always felt as if I was meeting a friend. We are still in contact and meet occasionally".
