What Our Patients Say
“When I was laboring in the hospital, a nurse asked me if Emily was my sister. I guess it was obvious how comfortable I felt around Emily! She was talking me through contractions and doing hip squeezes, and when I started pushing before anyone was ready, Emily alerted the nurse. (My husband wasn't quite sure what to do!) Emily was so helpful and so supportive every step of the way, and I'm so thankful she was on my team.”
Sam B.
Tier 3 Birthing Support
“As a first-time mom, it was incredibly comforting to have someone in the room who was advocating for me, explaining things, and helping guide us through each moment. Emily brought such a calming, grounded presence that made everything feel manageable and supported. I feel genuinely blessed to have had such a positive birth experience, and I credit so much of that to Emily's expertise and care.”
Shelby D.
Tier 3 Birthing Support
“Working with Emily was single-handedly the best decision my husband and I made for our birth journey. Having a birth coach who is also a pelvic floor physical therapist gave us a level of confidence and peace of mind we didn't know was possible. Through 32 exhausting hours of labor, Emily never left our side. When hospital staff recommended interventions before I felt ready, she stepped in as an empowering advocate, helping me understand my options so I could feel entirely confident in every choice. When I reached a point where I was simply too exhausted to think clearly, she gently helped guide us through decision-making without ever taking away my autonomy. She didn't just support me — she guided my husband every step of the way as well, letting him know that everything was okay even when I was feeling the pain. And I will never forget her hand feeding me a blueberry muffin the second after our baby arrived! If you are looking for a birth coach who brings extensive physical knowledge, emotional support, and unwavering dedication, Emily is the absolute best.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Pivotal PT's birthing support different from a doula?
Our therapists bring specialized physical therapy training to the birth space — including hands-on pelvic floor techniques, positioning for optimal fetal descent, and perineal support. This clinical expertise includes assessing orthopedic considerations for labor and delivery positioning.
Can I choose any tier regardless of where I plan to deliver?
Yes. Our preparation tiers are available to all patients. Tier 3 birthing support is available for home births, birth centers, and hospital deliveries in our service area.
When should I start childbirth prep sessions?
We recommend starting preparation sessions in the second or early third trimester (around 20–28 weeks) to allow adequate time for education and practice before your due date.
Do you offer virtual childbirth prep?
Yes. Our online childbirth preparation course is available as a standalone purchase or as part of Tier 2 and Tier 3 packages. We also offer virtual appointments. Contact us for details.
