Held & Honored LLC
Birth Doula Specialist
and Bereavement
~Serving Homebirths and Hospital Births~
Holding space for birth for every outcome.
Held & Honored is a doula service for all outcomes that honor life.
Warm welcome,
My name is Emily Stewart, and I am a birth doula who has found a strong calling to companion mothers through their pregnancy journey. All pregnancy and birth stories are unique, this is something I have come to appreciate through my own birth experiences. I love to accompany mothers who need an extra pair of eyes, voice, and heart for whatever your story brings.
I have had 4 live births plus an adoption, one of those was a known neonatal death. Oliver, my eldest son, my peace-offering in this life. Oliver means, "olive branch, a symbol of a peace offering". I held him in my womb knowing he was labeled, "Incompatible with life".
I want you to know there is joy during and after carrying a child in all circumstances. There are options, many many MANY options. I want to help you explore every option that feels right to you and your family. I am a doula in all outcomes.
I hold myself to be present and a strong pillar of calm.
I am excited to be a companion and doula in your home or planned hospital birth setting.
Remember, any age of a growing baby is socially worthy of grieving
Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves
Welcome all to Held & Honored, where death is not a taboo subject, but is considered a gift of time spent with our loved ones no matter what age. I am here to encourage you to spend time and love your children who have passed or have limited time. You are encouraged to have joy in a time of sorrow. My job is to give you space and time, options, and memories with your baby. I support birthing mothers so that they feel heard and enable you to concentrate on what's important.
Mother is to be held and honored.
Baby is to be held and honored.
Space is to be held and honored.
