Emily Coots is a south Louisiana native who values life, no matter what form. Emily found her calling of birth work through having children of her own. After a traumatic first birth, that she firmly believes could’ve been prevented with the proper knowledge, she began researching and educating herself to prepare for any future birth she may have. After achieving two natural births, she realized that medical autonomy is largely unheard of in the birthing world and knew that needed to change. She has made it her life mission to educate women on labor and birth to prevent the continuing pattern of unsupported and preventable trauma happening in such a vulnerable time in their lives. Emily is a mother of three, enjoys spending time with her family, loves animals, and hopes to bring peace to those she supports through birth and loss.

As a doula, I approach each birth with empathy, understanding, and a commitment to providing personalized support. I am committed to providing education & services to those who face disparities-those who are at an increased risk for complications and or death during childbirth. As a young nurse, I became fascinated with pregnant women and newborns and was quickly drawn to women's healthcare. As a mother of three and a practicing OB/GYN nurse has led me to becoming a doula. I became a doula because I’m passionate about supporting individuals during the transformative journey of childbirth. It’s gratifying to offer guidance, comfort, and encouragement during such a significant and profound moment in people’s lives.

As a doula and lactation support provider, I've been deeply immersed in the world of childbirth and breastfeeding since 2019. My journey began unexpectedly at 18 when I welcomed my first child into the world. Faced with fear and a lack of education about childbirth, I found myself navigating a scary experience only with support of my husband and Dr.Google The medical system treated me more like a patient than a person, leaving me feeling unseen and unheard. It wasn't until the birth of my second child that I discovered the transformative role of a doula. With newfound knowledge and research, I embarked on a journey to empower myself and others through childbirth. Through my own experiences with postpartum and breastfeeding, I discovered my passion for birth work Now, as a mother of three and a dedicated wife, I am committed to ensuring that every mother feels safe, seen, and heard during their childbirth experience, regardless of the path they choose. My mission is to provide compassionate support, education, and advocacy to guide women through the beautiful journey of motherhood.

Hi! My name is Synthia Torres, I live in Plaquemine, Louisiana. I'm a certified birth and postpartum doula. I want to bring more joy and preparedness to parents during birth and after delivery. I found this passion through my own pregnancies, as well as supporting family and friends through their own birth experiences. I love sharing my knowledge and being able to support people during this journey. As the oldest daughter in a large family, taking care of others comes naturally to me, as well as advocating for others. I keep my business judgment free and supportive to everyone. I also love spending time at home with my 3 kids, going out with my husband, and can usually be found cuddling with my dog or cat with a good book and a hot coffee.

When i first learned how complex a woman’s body is and the incredible things it could do at a young age i was so intrigued. i knew i wanted to deal with birth/ small children as i loved them so much. becoming a doula has been inspiring and magical for me. i love helping women become mothers and being able to be apart of the big transition whether your a first time parent or a sixth time parent, each person and each birth/child is different and that’s what makes being a doula so amazing. you get to experience something different everytime.

Throughout my experience as a doula, I’ve come to deeply understand that a woman’s birth story becomes a powerful and lasting part of who she is. My goal is to help each woman and her partner create a birth plan that makes them feel confident and supported as they prepare for labor and birth. When the big day arrives, I provide continuous support—not just for the birthing person, but for their partner too—so that both walk away feeling proud of their story, no matter how it unfolds. Birth doesn’t always go exactly as planned, but with the right team and compassionate support, it can still be a story you’ll want to tell again and again—with strength, joy, and confidence. I'm honored to have supported so many incredible families and grateful to be recognized for that work. I’ve been named Baton Rouge Parents Magazine Family Favorite Doula, runner-up for Prenatal and Postpartum Classes, and nominated for Best of 225.
