What is your mission/motivation?
“I am deeply convinced that a pregnant person has the right to understand her body, her pregnancy, and her childbirth. This access to information is, in my view, the key to enabling her to make informed decisions about her health and that of her baby. My mission, therefore, is to support families by planting small seeds so that everyone can grow in awareness and make choices that are as closely aligned as possible with their values. ” Emilie
Testimonials from Motherstories Members
“Emilie supported us as a doula throughout my pregnancy, during Leonardo’s birth, and continues to do so to this day. She has always been a sincere and compassionate listener, respecting each of our choices. Her emotional and logistical support—such as helping us draft our birth plan—truly helped us feel in control of this pregnancy, while constantly ensuring that both parents were included in the entire process. Whether at home or at the clinic, Emilie always found just the right balance between respecting our family’s privacy and providing the support we needed. Encouraging, attentive, and always offering sound advice, we can’t imagine going through this again without her today. Her help proved invaluable—even in unexpected ways! So we can only hope that all future parents have the same good fortune we did in sharing this little piece of life with a doula like Emilie.” Laura & Hugo
“Following my miscarriage last year, we had the opportunity to receive support from Emilie during a home visit. With great gentleness and kindness, she created a safe space for us to talk so that we could both share our feelings in the wake of this painful experience. She immediately put us at ease, and we were touched by her ability to listen and her thoughtfulness. We were even lucky enough for her to bring us some delicious homemade energy balls—just what we needed to nourish both our bodies and our hearts. Thank you again for this beautiful moment.” Aline & Pierre
