Hello and Welcome to Harmony Doula Services!
My name is Heather Emerson. I am a professional Birth and Postpartum Doula in Southeast Michigan, working out of the Ann Arbor area. I have been a doula for over 9 years and trained through DONA (Doulas of North America) International. I have specific training in Babywearing, Lactation Consulting, and I offer Placenta Encapsulation as well! Births in hospitals, homes, and birth centers are all part of my care, as there is empirical data which shows that doulas help in every birth situation. I am very LGBT friendly and have experience with the community.
It is very important to feel safe throughout your pregnancy and birth journey. The key to this is trust. When you trust in yourself and your support team, your birthing experience will be one that you can take pride in. I will work with you toward finding this trust in yourself, and I will make sure that you feel safe within any environment surrounding your pregnancy, labor, birth, and new parental status. All women have powerful instincts regarding birthing and mothering. I will help you tap into those instincts, believe in them, and put them into action throughout this experience together. I am honored to be present for these precious times in which men and women become parents, whether for the first time, or to a new child.
I have a holistic approach to my doula care philosophy. I bring a positive, passionate attitude to each and every birth, and aid both moms and their families in accessing this as well. We prepare for birth and examine all hopes and any fears. We will discuss pain, practice coping with it and discuss options. And last but not least, I will provide you with information, so that you feel confident navigating your childbirth experience in whatever setting you chose. Most of all, I make it my number one goal to take your vision of what you would like your journey from pregnancy to new family to look like, and to make it as much of a reality as possible.
