As new parents we certainly struggled with many aspects of our son’s life. As the father, I looked for ways to contribute. On one desperate, sleepless night, I came across Emily’s website as I once again searched for sleep solutions. Contacting her was the best thing we have done for our son.
Our situation, at that time, was a ten week old that would only fall asleep while nursing, and would sleep for small stretches, and would not sleep in his crib. Mom was facing returning to work in two weeks and travels frequently for work, so we knew things had to change. We worked with Emily over the next several months to overcome various hurdles with our son and his sleep. Emily offered numerous suggestions and solutions and we were able to implement what we felt would work best for our child.  He now goes to sleep on his own for every nap and bed time and sleeps for at least eleven hours EVERY night in his crib. Baby, Mommy and Daddy are all much happier.
We live on the east coast so our interaction with Emily was strictly through telephone consultations. We were amazed at the immediate progress we would see each time we spoke with her. We had read all of the sleep books but none of that information ever seemed to quite match up to what we were experiencing and did not seem applicable. It was great to have someone with Emily’s experience and knowledge to help us understand what we were experiencing and what we were missing from our reading. She had a tremendous impact on our lives with our newborn and we are better parents and he is happier baby because of our interactions with Emily.

I found Emily online as I was searching for some assistance with sleep because I was new parent. Emily promptly contacted me back and was willing to work with my needs and budget. We came up with an affordable plan and I was able to contact her anytime I needed her. My son is still on his journey to good sleep but he has come a long way since working with Emily. At first he needed to be held in a carrier for all naps. She worked with me and I am proud to say that my nearly 7 month old is taking two solid naps daily usually with no fuss. It has been a joy to work with Emily and she really understands your parenting style and is not judgmental about your decisions.

Emily gave me the confidence, emotional support and assurance I needed to be a mom and she was always positive and supportive every time I saw her. Because she is a mom herself she also has ideas, shortcuts and excellent suggestions based on experience and firsthand knowledge. She honestly cared about the health, well being, safety and happiness of our entire family. My family and I are incredibly fortunate to have had her in our lives and I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation or reservation.

Emily has been a critical piece of transitioning to life with a new baby for my partner and I. She has helped with all aspects of baby care—from breast feeding issues to dishes to getting a priceless, restful daytime nap, I am forever grateful for the love and specialized care our new family received at every visit. We eagerly counted down the hours until Emily arrived, so we could have all of our questions answered and then handed her the baby so we could rest. I HIGHLY recommend utilizing Emily's services as much as possible, this was truly the best gift I received for our family.

Emily has a way with newborns that is just wonderful. She is confident and loving and I believe that babies can sense that. She knows just how to get babies to fall asleep and how to calm them. She is wonderful at what she does.

Emily is an amazing night doula and as first time parents we needed some guidance with our newborn. She is incredibly knowledgeable and takes immense pride in her work. She cares for each baby as if they were her own and goes above and beyond to teach the parents everything she knows about caring for your baby. She is stays awake at night attending to the baby. She uses apps like Baby Connect to enter all the feedings, awake time and diaper changes through out the night. In the morning she provides notes for the parents so they can see how their baby is doing. She gives tips on the upcoming milestones your baby will go through and is always there via text/phone/email if you have any questions throughout the day. Aside from being a great night doula, Emily is the sweetest person. I can't imagine what those first few weeks would have been like without her help. I highly recommend her.
