Hey there! My name is Emily Vanderoef and I’m a Certified Birth Doula. Whether you got here by accident or on purpose, I’m so glad you have taken time to read this! Hiring a doula is no small thing and I am honored by your consideration! My passion for women's health and birth stems from my personal experiences and observations. Over the years, I have witnessed the beauty and natural process of childbirth. Having first been present for the births of several friends and family members. It was this, that inspired me to deepen my knowledge and skills. This led me to pursue my certification as a doula, so that I could support and guide expecting mothers all over, through this transformative, magical journey. I believe that every woman deserves to have an empowering birth experience, and I am dedicated to providing the compassionate care and assistance to make that a reality. My passion is for helping others on their own unique path to motherhood.

Emily has been an absolute blessing as our newborn’s night nurse and doula. Her tender, caring and reassuring nature gave us complete peace of mind during this special but exhausting time. Emily is incredibly accommodating, tailoring her care to meet both our baby’s and family’s needs, and her calming presence brought comfort to our entire household. We’ve already recommended her to other families, who’ve shared equally glowing feedback about their experiences with her. Emily truly goes above and beyond, and we’re so grateful for her support!

Hi, I’m Jenette I’m a wife, and a mother of seven. I’m honored to be someone you can count on during one of the most important moments of your life. I truly understand the strength, courage, and love that birth brings out in you. My own birth experiences showed me just how powerful it is to have someone calm, loving, and experienced by your side—someone who really sees you, supports you, and stays with you through every moment. With 14 years of personal and professional experience, I bring certified expertise as a Full-Spectrum Birth Doula, Childbirth Educator, Lactation Counselor, and Medical Assistant to every family I support. I combine compassionate care with solid knowledge. But even more than my certifications, it’s my personal birth journey, struggles, and life lessons that shape how I support you. I understand the strength and vulnerability that birth brings, and I use that understanding to comfort and empower every family I work with. I take a holistic approach to care, supporting the whole mother and family—physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Whether you’re birthing in a hospital or at home, my goal is to help you feel informed, empowered, and spiritually grounded throughout your journey. Hospital Births I help you navigate policies while advocating for your natural, informed choices, ensuring you feel confident and respected in every decision. Home Births I provide full support and education so you and your family feel prepared, nurtured, and fully supported in the birth experience you desire. I also help partners and loved ones feel involved, informed, and confident in their roles. Together, we create a loving, supportive space for everyone as you welcome your baby. I approach every birth with reverence and prayerfulness, walking with you as your steady advocate and calm guide. My goal is to help you find strength, peace, and confidence, no matter how your birth unfolds. Whether you’re planning a home birth, hospital birth, or something in between, I want to help you feel prepared, empowered, and truly supported every step of the way. I offer both virtual and in-person support, so no matter where you are, you can receive thoughtful, compassionate care tailored to your family. Postpartum Support After birth, I’m still here. I provide breastfeeding support, newborn care guidance, and a listening ear, walking with you through the postpartum period and helping your family transition with confidence and care. Choosing your birth support is deeply personal. If you want someone who will stand by your side with kindness, skill, and faith, I would be honored to be there for you. Let’s walk this beautiful journey together with Shiphrah Birth & Beyond.
