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 has been my doula for both of my births.
My first birth went from being a normal pregnancy to getting induced 6 weeks early within a week. 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!

My second birth I was able to move around a lot more during my labor. With her experience based off of my contractions we were able to figure out that the baby was not in an ideal position. She helped me with different coping mechanisms and different positions in order to get baby out to get him in a better place! It worked and I was able to go through labor without pain medication and baby came smoothly.
Emma is the exact person I want at my births - 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."

Emma is truly the best doula I could have asked for. She was incredibly supportive, kind, and reassuring every step of the way. Her presence made me feel calm, confident, and cared for during such an important time. She genuinely listens, supports without judgment, and knows exactly how to help. She helped not just me but my husband to navigate and make this birth beautiful and wonderful.I am so grateful for her and would hire her again and again without hesitation. Highly recommend Emma to anyone looking for an amazing doula.
