There aren’t words to describe how fundamental Emma’s support was to the birth of our daughter and the early postpartum period following. As first-timers, we did our best to be prepared, but you can never really be sure about what you’re getting into— that’s where Emma came in. Out of the gate, her detailed and engaging pre-partum support, brimming with resources, was grounding, thoughtful, and really fun. When my labor started 10 days earlier than expected, she was crucial to helping us navigate a hospital setting that would have been overwhelming otherwise. I am so grateful for her help and good humor in achieving a birth that was long but, ultimately, without complications...I really don’t know if we would have gotten there without her. And then, what I didn’t even know I needed, was her incredible postpartum support. Through two follow-up sessions, she helped me process the birth experience and really understand/make peace with so many of the bits and pieces I had missed. She was a tremendous resource on breastfeeding as well, and having someone so knowledgable able to help you in your own space is priceless. Emma radiates wisdom, practicality, and warmth— truly an exceptional doula and human being. Thank you, Emma!!

Emma was a supremely knowledgeable, helpful, calming, and confidence-inspiring doula to work with. Emma is a delightful person and is deeply focused on supporting pregnant mothers. She went above and beyond what we expected at every step of our birthing journey: her thoughtful pre-birth meetings, her steadfast support through our long and unexpected birthing process, and her robust support after birth. I was in labor for 4.5 days and Emma’s wise advice and steadfast support made all the difference in helping us navigate our options, stay positive, and ultimately have a great birth despite challenges. We really can’t imagine what we’d have done without her. Even after the birth her guidance and emotional support made a huge difference in our ability, confidence, and enjoyment as new parents. Emma is just very focused on listening to the needs of a birthing mother and then giving the best information and support necessary. We recommend her 1000% percent.

Emma is an incredibly thoughtful, empathetic, knowledgeable, and warm doula who brings a calming and supportive presence into pregnancy and starting parenthood. We thought a doula’s role was only to assist in the birth process, but Emma did so much more. She helped us navigate the challenging third trimester and postpartum when we needed help most, and we were very lucky to find her and work with her. Her extensive experience as a mother and a doula comes across in many ways: in her ability to discuss any topic on your mind, in her insightful and holistic perspectives that offset your concerns, and in her nurturing and grounded approach to ensuring you’re prepared with the best possible tools for your goals as a parent. We came away from each session with her feeling reassured and impressed with her thoughtfulness about many parts of pregnancy and parenting that we hadn’t considered before. Emma is also very organized and has many helpful documents, resources, and recommendations depending on what suits you. We wholeheartedly recommend Emma for a wonderful birth experience!

Emma is a wonderful, warm, and empathetic doula. Our daughter came 2 months ahead of schedule and Emma was able to drop everything and come be with us during my unexpected labor at UCSF. Despite the scary turn of events, Emma brought a sense of peace and empowerment to our labor experience. She was so supportive after our daughter was born as well.

We met Emma through a friend and I’m forever grateful to them for connecting us!
A lot of birth preparation material exists online/is free but Emma’s contribution to our experience transitioning to parenthood was truly invaluable.
From the first conversation alone Emma was able to gently distill how we’d ideally like to experience preparing for and welcoming our first child. She offered ideas and suggestions that we didn’t know were possibilities and we ‘ended up’ with a delivery that I fondly describe as a welcoming party for our baby girl!
It might be that Emma is a mother herself but she is able to strike the perfect balance in some key qualities that I now consider critical to find in a doula or anyone supporting you in birth - she’s warm and nurturing yet impressively strong (physically and emotionally!), she’s easy going yet meticulously organized, she’s honest and frank yet completely open to any and every concern or question we’d have, she’s not pushy in any way yet would give us all the detail we wanted if we asked for it. I especially appreciated her breadth of experience and depth of knowledge (especially as it relates to different options for looking after yourself both pre and post birth).
We simply loved spending time with her during our prenatal sessions and her postpartum visits were so appreciated, even if simply for her loving and calm demeanor (that clearly our baby picked up on too!).
My husband and I have already decided we’ll be inviting Emma to the welcoming party of any future baby we are lucky to have. We couldn’t recommend her any more!

Highly recommended… not only is she extremely punctual, professional, knowledgable, and organized, but she is also incredibly warm and caring. I always felt so comfortable during our meetings… she never left my side, advocated for my birth plan, and cheered me on… the entire process was infinitely better because of Emma.

Emma was our rock throughout the journey into parenthood. Luckily, we found Emma early in my first trimester. After several Zoom meetings with different doulas we felt Emma had the relaxed, nurturing vibe we were looking for. Her experience as a doula and mother was extensive and by the end of our first in-person meeting, my husband and I felt even more confident we made the right choice. Emma spends as much time as you need educating and supplies tons of beautifully organized documents you can read through at your leisure. She knows tons of people in the birth community if you need referrals, like we did. Through Emma’s referrals I was put in contact with an acupuncturist, chiropractor and postpartum physical therapist. All of whom were fabulous.

Our sweet baby girl was breech so we decided to have a planned C-Section rather than the home birth we had hoped for. Emma was by our side every step of the way with support and gave us the confidence we were doing what was best in our situation. At the end, we had our beautiful, healthy baby girl in our arms. Emma even dropped off belonging to our home from the hospital so my husband could stay by our side. She was amazing. I 100% recommend Emma as a doula if you are looking for genuine support, a wealth of birth knowledge and rock to depend on throughout the wild journey.

Emma is an absolutely wonderful doula and I 100% recommend her to anyone considering a birth doula. Kind, smart, funny, warm, and just such a fun and great person to have at your side during this big moment in life. She also helped me avoid having an induction!
— Maggie
We worked with Emma during the birth of our first baby and she was so helpful! My son was born late March just after hospitals placed restrictions on doula support due to COVID. Emma joined us for labor in our home and stayed all the way until we reached the doors of the hospital. She helped create a calm and positive atmosphere during my labor at home. She knew exactly how to help without me asking for it! When we got to the hospital I was able to use some of the pain management techniques Emma had prepped me with.
— Rebecca
Emma went above and beyond in every way... I texted or called her several times outside our scheduled meetings and she was so helpful and open to talking any time.

Emma is outstanding and worth every penny. She is incredibly resourceful, reliable, and honest. My 34 hr long vaginal delivery would NOT have been possible if it weren’t for her support. Despite the long labor, both my partner and I felt incredibly prepared due to our prenatal sessions and discussions with her beforehand. I am incredibly grateful to have worked with her! She will positively transform your birth experience!!
— Jenny
Emma Reyes is the BEST. She got me through an extremely difficult and long labor. Very knowledgable and her presence is so calming.

Emma helped me before, during and after the birth of my second baby. She was exactly what I was looking for in a Doula: knowledgeable, empathetic, kind, laid-back but hands-on. She supported me a lot with positioning during labor and helped me with breast-feeding problems during the very first weeks. Emma is amazing and I can recommend her from the heart, any future mum to work with her is lucky to have her by her side.

Emma helped us with our third child birth and was a life saver. We had no doula with baby 1 (big mistake) and a no-show doula with baby 2, I was a bit nervous about hiring someone. We had moved to a new city and I had no idea where to start to find natural child birth resources. I contacted Emma from a friends recommendation and never looked back.
Emma helped with every aspect and answered every question we had about the birth. She was always warm and loving and brought a very calming presence during labor. Labor began suddenly and progressed very quickly and not exactly according to plan but all worked out perfectly in the end. I do not know what I would have done without her! If you are lucky enough to work with Emma, Do It!

Emma Reyes is a powerful, compassionate and self-aware woman. Watching her show support... was simply inspiring. She has an intuition and a presence that calms, comforts and empowers women. Beyond her big beautiful heart, she is also an amazing photographer, great storyteller, and badass mama herself.

Highly recommended. Emma was my doula during the pregnancy and birth of my baby boy. Not only is she extremely punctual, professional, knowledgable, and organized, but she is also incredibly warm and caring. I always felt so comfortable during our meetings. She was available for and patient with my (many!) questions. Most importantly, during an extremely difficult and long labor, she never left my side, advocated for my birth plan, and cheered me on with the perfect amount of coaching when I needed it and silent comfort when it was appropriate. The entire process was infinitely better because of Emma, including the postpartum struggles. She is truly a blessing. If you’re even considering hire her, just do it. My husband had never heard of a doula before, but admitted after the fact that it was the best money we’d ever spent. Thank you, BirthFlower.

I highly recommend Emma as a Doula. Our pregnancy, birth and postpartum-time wouldn’t have been the same without her. Best decision ever. As we moved from Austria to Mexico City without any good knowledge of Spanish, after just a few months we found out that I was pregnant with our first baby and we were searching for help, as everything was new and different there. Luckily we found Emma and after the first meeting our decision was clear: she will be our Doula. We had prenatal sessions with her in our home which all of them were amazing, excellent information, absolutely great. She was available via WhatsApp for us and before and after the due date “on-call”. In one of our last appointments with our gynecologist he told us that for some medical reason he needed to perform a c-section immediately, which first was a shock because that wasn’t what I expected and wanted, but we called Emma and she accompanied us, she helped me to calm down and accept the unexpected situation how it was and see the positive side. So, even if it was a c-section, we had a great birth experience in a nice atmosphere and I will always think back in a positive way, Emma not only helped us with translation etc., she talked everything through with us on the way to the hospital and stayed until we settled down in our room when all doctors already left. Also the postpartum visits were very helpful, our topics included breastfeeding (as all the nurses in the hospital showed me in a different and wrong way), first bath, baby carrier,.. and much more. Emma always had optimistic words for us and a lot of patience. She’s very professional and has a great heart.

Emma is a brilliant doula who has supported me tremendously before, during and after my son’s birth. Emma is not only very knowledgable but also reliable and has a lot of empathy. She listens carefully to you to help make your birthing experience the one you’d like it to be.
