There is so much that goes into preparing for delivery, from creating the right birth plan to preparing your space for the fourth trimester. With so much to figure out, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed. If you could use some guidance, one of the best things you can do for yourself is hire a doula who will be there every step of the way, providing you with unconditional support! As a Parkersburg maternity photographer, I love working with clients as they prepare for their delivery. If you could use some help getting ready for your birth, let me tell you about Ember of Light Doula Services.
Parkersburg, West Virginia
Ember of Light Doula Services is a center that was founded by Abby Kerby to give moms the support they deserve. Her calling to the field started after the delivery of her daughter, when she felt as though she didn’t have control over her own experience. Throughout her second pregnancy, she decided she wanted to change this and read everything she could possibly find to teach her how to prepare. Then, for her third birth, she decided that she wanted to try to deliver at home. Following a successful home birth, she decided she wanted to empower others to have this same experience. Today, she takes a faith-based approach to her work, teaching women how to trust the divine nature of birth.

Ember of Light Doula Services gives you several options for her support. If you could just use a friend to help you feel prepared for your delivery, her prenatal coaching is just the thing! With this option, you are going to essentially learn all the basics you need to know for your delivery, including the stages of labor, how to prepare your partner, how to advocate for yourself, and what to expect once your baby arrives. For those who want birth support, you can upgrade your services to include either in-person or virtual care. With this, she will be by your side to provide physical comfort measures, emotional support, and encouragement for your partner. No matter what your birth story looks like, she will ensure you feel empowered through every step!

Once your baby arrives, Ember of Light postpartum doula care will be a total lifesaver! You can choose between 3- or 9-hour sessions. She will be there to provide you with both emotional and hands-on support. Whether you want guidance for taking care of your newborn or some practical help around the house, she is going to make sure you never feel like you have to do it all on your own.
