Midwives & Home Birth Midwives Near Me in Lafayette, LA

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.

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.

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.

I am a certified and licensed professional midwife providing home birth services to families in Southwest Louisiana and the surrounding areas. Love In The Making Midwifery grew out of a love and passion for preserving labor and birth as the intimate and sacred experience that it was meant to be.

Through each hour long prenatal I strive to ensure my clients leave my office healthier than when they arrived, filled with fresh knowledge and understanding of their bodies and the confidence to become their own health advocate.
