what people are saying

  • I am emotional and teary-eyed when I step back and look at this 9 month journey I got experience with The Birthkeeping Co. Having Emily join my husband and me through pregnancy and birth was the best decision and I’m so unbelievably grateful for all the work — physically, mentally and emotionally she poured into this birthing experience for our family. She is truly one of a kind and I’ll never forget the ways she helped reshape my motherhood by empowering me to trust, love and wholly believe in my body and what it was made to do. Emily played a huge role in blessing our family with the most beautiful, redemptive, joyful birth experience and I’ll remember those moments, big and small, for the rest of my life. So thankful to know her and call her a friend!

    Aubrey Meiners

  • “A turning point for my second pregnancy was meeting Emily. My first pregnancy (in my country of origin) ended with an emergency c-section, leaving me with doubts that my body was able to give birth naturally. I was holding on to my desire to give birth naturally. I knew I needed extra support this time around. From our first meeting, I really connected with Emily. Through her positive encouragement, I came to believe and embrace that my body could give birth naturally and that this birth experience could be different."

    Atele

  • “It was so intimidating to transition care at 30 weeks from VA to KY and Emily made that transition so much more seamless. We appreciated the time and thorough preparation for all circumstances, not just our birth plan. The prenatal referrals truly made a difference in easing through the third trimester sciatic pain with the introduction of acupuncture and chiropractic connections. I remember feeling a sense of relief when Emily arrived just knowing there was another positive support person in the room. She jumped right in during transition to help with compressions and breathing work. Emily was a fantastic and bright light in our pregnancy journey. She provided several resources and contacts that helped us make decisions about our birth plan and welcome our baby into the world. We cannot recommend her enough!”

    Hailey Faye

  • During pregnancy I felt overwhelmed at all the information there was to learn but once we had a doula it brought me so much peace leading up to birth because I knew I would have someone there that I could trust and that is so knowledgeable and experienced when it comes to birth! Emily was so supportive before, during, and after the birth experience! Things did not go as planned for us at all and we were so fortunate to have her to lean on and encourage us as we welcomed our baby boy!

    Kenzie Young

  • "Emily’s presence throughout my pregnancy, the labor and delivery, and postpartum were truly a gift from Jesus. She is full of the Holy Spirit, and it is evident by the peace and wisdom that she carries. If you feel a lack of peace and a need for that feeling of assurance, safety, and security from a doula, then definitely hire Emily!"

  • Emily was the calming presence that tempered the sting of anxiety and allowed for my birth experience to be a powerful moment of immediate bonding with my baby. Emily is nurturing, kind, and full of the purest intentions of taking care of us mommas. I am over the moon she was a part of bringing my son into this world!

    Caroline Church

  • “Emily has been my guide as I entered into motherhood and began preparing my heart for what was ahead. She helped me understand what I needed for birth and postpartum but even more so how to emotionally prepare. She has empowered me to view birth as a beautiful thing and motherhood without fear.”

    Erica Hammond

  • “If there is anyone you’d want to have on your side through pregnancy and beyond, it’s Emily. She supported me through pregnancy, answered all my questions, and was there for me postpartum after a surprising and traumatic birth. She also helped me with breastfeeding and pumping and referred me to all the right people when needed. Emily is kind, loving and an all-around incredible person to serve as your doula!”

    Kenzie Hawkins

  • Emily was the best support for my husband and I during our pregnancy experience answering questions with assurance and confidence and helping us prepare for the biggest day of our lives. She gave us the ability to become a family with faith and support in the room and her love for moms and babies is so deep! Her desire to see families thrive is evident in everything she does.

I remember weeping with him in my arms, just thinking about how redemptive this birth felt for me - how the Lord so intricately protected my son and me. And how it was such a dream delivery with amazing staff support. The best part having my husband right by my side. I thank God every day that this was my son’s journey into the world and that He chose me to be his mama.

My first birth experience has allowed me to trust my body, and to understand how to effectively process what happened. And the best part of it all, this story gave me my sweet Roeby girl, which makes everything worth it.
