emma's postpartum package

We had such a positive experience with Emma. She has a calm, caring demeanor, and we immediately felt comfortable leaving our baby with her. She allowed us to get some much-needed sleep in the early days, and provided helpful advice and reassurance throughout. She was very flexible with our schedule and always arrived early. We are so grateful to her and I only wish we could have her for longer!

"We are so grateful to her"

From day one of meeting Emma, she provided advice, guidance and a listening ear. She was very knowledgeable and I felt very calm having her close. It was like talking to an old friend. She also helped my husband through his understanding of being a new Dad and what to expect in the coming weeks/months. 

Having Emma provide support a few days a week helping with baby chores, light meal prep and watching our newborn daughter really helped us to recharge and maintain our sanity. I highly recommend her to all families, whether experienced or first time parents. Her kindness and assurance were extremely needed and appreciated.

"I highly recommend her to all families"

Emma was absolutely wonderful in helping us care for our first child in her earliest weeks of life at home. Emma helped us get organized at home and install a bedtime/nighttime routine for our baby. She gave excellent advice around caring for our baby, reassuring us as first time parents on what was normal etc. She helped us come up with and stick to a schedule so both mom and dad could maximize sleep while still meeting baby and parents needs. Emma also helped keep our home tidy on the nights she would come and kept excellent records of our baby's sleep/food intake so we could plan well for the next day. We would recommend hiring Emma for postpartum support especially if it is your first child. Her help those first weeks made a world of difference to us and getting started on such positive footing so early on. Emma herself is a lovely person who instilled warmth and a sense of calm and was a joy to have around.

"Her help those first weeks made a world of difference"

Emma is an excellent Doula and provided great support to our family. She is a great communicator who made an effort pre-birth to check-in. Once our son was born, Emma was a reliable and helpful resource. She prioritized the health and safety of our newborn and listened well to our family needs. I appreciate that she also looked after me as a new mom and offered advice as she is a mom herself. We always looked forward to our nights with Emma as we knew our son was in great hands. This was our first experience with a doula and I'm so glad we found Emma!

"Emma was a reliable and helpful resource."

Emma was an absolute lifesaver in the first few months of postpartum. She continues to be a helpful, supportive trusted resource and friend more than a year later. She took care of our baby in her first few months and shared so much wisdom with me and my husband (first-time parents) as well. When I had to have an unexpected procedure, she shifted her plans to care of our baby, so we didn't have to have her with someone new. Emma is an angel and we feel so lucky she was our postpartum doula.

"we feel so lucky she was our postpartum doula."

Emma' s guidance and presence gave me daily peace of mind. Thanks to her, my first month postpartum was manageable. I was recovering from my 2nd c-section and with her help, I was able to rest and give my body the time to recover. She was also always very understanding and patient and would go the extra mile for me. I would recommend her to anyone needing a doula. And if I have another baby, I would not hesitate to use her services again.

"with her help, I was able to rest and give my body the time to recover"

Our journey to pregnancy was not an easy one. After finally becoming pregnant with the help of IVF, we went on the the hunt for a postpartum doula. 

Being first time parents without a clue on anything baby related, we wanted to make sure we had the support needed for not one but two babies. Emma came recommended by a co-worker. Leaving the hospital I was extremely anxious, I had a c-section and a traumatic after birth. Having Emma there alleviated a lot of that anxiety. As soon as she arrived she took the reins immediately. I will never forget the feeling of relief that she was there for us on that first night home. 

We are forever grateful for her expertise and caring demeanor. I have and will continue to recommend Emma as an absolute must for postpartum support!
