She walked us through the background of the "why" and then transitioned into the "how". Many of the tips and tricks Guina provided and demonstrated were incredibly helpful during the run-up to being in labor and during our stay at the hospital. So thankful that Guina was willing to share her wisdom with us. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking a calm, reassuring veteran to help guide them through the birthing process. Thanks Guina!

I did the smoothie add on and I am so thankful to have had that during recovery. The pills are clearly making a difference in my mood and I do not have the mood swings my friends have had post partum. My milk came in early and has been in abundance - our son gained over 2 pounds in his first 2 weeks! They were spot on with pick up and delivery and even included a chocolate treat. My friends and family have really enjoyed getting to see the tree of life - it is a wonderful work of art. Shari was our doula. You can read more about how much we love her on her Yelp page - Bodyworks Atlanta. She is simply AWESOME! You can't go wrong with Emerge!

My toddler went to her immediately and loved hanging out with her. While I was laboring she tidied up my kitchen so everything was clean for the next day for my husband. She supervised my little one while he came in to see me, and took him to another room when things got intense. He even let her put him down for a nap which I was super surprised by! My husband was able to focus on me the entire time without having to worry about the little. My labor was fast and intense so I was really thankful he was there for support. I would definitely recommend having a sibling doula from labor of love at your home birth, or if you need someone to be with your kids while you're at the hospital.

For my second birth, a Labor of Love provided the education and knowledge that I never thought needed for my first birth. 2 days with these wonderful women allows you to open up your mind and body to the wonders of natural birth and the courage to know that you are in control if you so choose. Charlotte, our Doula was the stability we needed in the swirl of hospital drama. She reminded my husband and I that the choices were ours and we should feel no pressure to do anything we were uncomfortable with during the birth of our second child. Her calming hands, foot massages, aromatherapy and beautiful voice was calm we both needed. If you have any fears, doubts or concerns about birth - these amazing women are the two people you want to meet!

My first pregnancy had resulted in a stillbirth & I was more than a little anxious about this experience. I wanted someone in the room who wasn't as clueless as I was who know their way around the medical lingo. I found all of this and more! We had a few meetings set up prior to delivery. We went over the goals, discussed my health concerns so she would be aware, she met my husband & we got on the same page regarding what my medical professionals were telling me. My situation was unique in that I was to be induced at 37 weeks, so it seemed to be more of a scheduling situation than anything. BUT, baby decided that she calls shots, I went into labor that day. She was so helpful throughout the delivery, keeping me calm, there as we pushed & assisted in the breastfeeding. After I got home & was CLUELESS, she even came to the house & walked me through it. A billion times more helpful than the hospital Lactation consultant. Highly recommend this service for a personal experience for one of the most important times of your life!

She leads with both heart and knowledge. Doula View was an excellent choice!
