Client Testimonials

I am so overwhelmed with joy by this beautiful work that I get to do and the families I've supported. Each review is a reminder of the deep trust my families place in me during one of the most intense, beautiful, sanctifying times in their lives. It’s a awe-inspiring experience to witness the growth, love, and resilience that unfold in each birth journey. I am honored to be a part of my clients' birth stories. So thankful for these sweet reviews from previous clients of mine.

"Emma was wonderful-prior to my induction she came to visit me at the hospital and offered the emotional support I needed. During labor although I was bed bound she still was able to help me get in different positions and turn the baby! Emma is the exact person I wanted at my birth - encouraging, level headed, and knowledgeable."

"I was very nervous about my birth experience, as my 1st child was born under less than ideal circumstances with subpar treatment. For this birth, I knew that I wanted a doula so that I could have someone to help me advocate for myself.
Emma was amazing. I had a 24 hr labor. Because of her, everything went absolutely perfect and by the time it was time to push I had zero fear. I double dog dare any woman to tell me they had a better birth experience than I did.
From start to finish, my experience with Maranatha was perfect and I'd hire Emma again in a heartbeat."

My husband and I had the sweet privilege of having Emma serve as our doula during my pregnancy and birth of our son. She took the time to get to know us beforehand, and counseled us about what to expect during labor. Expectations were made clear from the start, and I appreciated her recommendations for readings, prenatal movements/stretches, and items to consider bringing for the labor process."
