Emily Coots

Jennings, Louisiana

Emily Coots

4 years of experience

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 there, I'm the owner & founder of Priceless Doula Love. I seek to help empower mothers through the prenatal, labor & delivery, postpartum period. 💞 I'm located in Louisiana and I travel. Virtual support is also offered along with prenatal education. Other areas of support are labor & delivery, postpartum, breastfeeding, light workouts that incorporate stretching and strengthening, etc. Thank you for reading. 🌻

Lavonne was truly a blessing throughout one of the most important seasons of my life. From our very first meeting, she was professional, warm, and carried such a peaceful light about her that I instantly knew she was meant to be my doula. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, but she is also genuine, loving, and deeply caring. She provided me and my husband with so many resources, honest guidance, and valuable information that helped us feel prepared and confident during my first pregnancy. She always kept it real, answered every question with patience, and made the entire journey feel personal instead of transactional. Although my birth plan changed unexpectedly and I had to have an emergency C-section instead of delivering at the birthing center, Lavonne still showed up for me in every way. She drove over an hour to the hospital to be there by my side, supported me emotionally, made sure my baby had everything she needed, helped with latching, and continued checking on us afterward. That level of care is rare. Lavonne does this from the heart, and it shows. She treats her clients like family and truly goes above and beyond. I am so thankful for her and honored to have had her as part of this experience. If you are considering hiring a doula, do not hesitate—Lavonne is amazing. Highly recommend.

Hi! I’m Darlene! I am a postpartum doula & lactation counselor. I started Nurturing Mothers while keeping the needs of postpartum mothers in mind. A time where mama’s need to be supported & cared for, while caring for their babies. As a mother of 5, a grandmother to 4 and serving families as a nanny, I can resonate with all a mother endures during the postpartum transition. I have such a deep love for motherhood! So much that I want to serve mama’s to help them get off to a great start without feeling overwhelmed. Whether it be lactation support, rest from being up all night, support while still in the hospital, emotional support, help with running the daily household, grocery shopping, preparing meals or in need a good night’s rest with no worries. Each family is cared for by their particular needs. Each visit is tailored to the needs of that day.

I'm Krista, a passionate birth keeper who loves utilizing herbs, tinctures, homeopathy, and nourishing foods as I walk with women on their journey. With a deep trust in the power of birth, I'm dedicated to empowering women through pregnancy, birth, and motherhood, promoting a peaceful transition into parenthood. At Hygge Birth, we embrace coziness and well-being, infusing birthing experiences with a sense of tranquility and simplicity.

Krista is like an angel! As soon as I interviewed her she made me feel so comfortable, and I knew she was to Doula for me throughout my pregnancy. She would check in to see if I had any questions, and to check how I was physically and emotionally. If I did have questions, she was always so great at getting back to me quickly. She also came to a prenatal appointment with me to meet my Midwife, which I thought was really cool. I had contractions for days before actual labor, and she was ready to help as soon as I needed her. I labored at home with her by my side and she was such a comfort. She also helped my husband feel reassured, which helped him feel confident in helping me himself. She also encapsulated my placenta for me. I didn’t know whata doula was with my first pregnancy three years before, and having her made all the difference in labor. I wish everyone could use her as their Doula. The fact that she’s a mom herself who has used many of the techniques she help me use to stay calm, breathe through the pain, and be confident about birth was so comforting. She cares so much about the mom she’s trying to help and you can feel the love she has for her role as a Doula. I would choose her again and again.

Peace! I am Briana Nicol Venters. I am a child of The Most High, a wife to the greatest man I know and a mother to a sweet and spicy baby boy. I have been sharing my labor of Love as a full circle birth worker both locally and internationally since 2018. Prior to Doula work, I spent numerous years providing child care & offering my gift as a certified stretch therapy instructor. When I am not serving birthing people and their families, you can find me reading, cooking, writing, roller skating and spending lots of quality time with my Loved ones. I enjoy nature and have a great appreciation for all things holistic and untampered with. My approach to Doula/birth work is to educate and serve. I am committed to advocating for and assisting birthing people and their villages by ensuring that my clients have the necessary tools to birth with confidence and the ability to advocate and make empowering educated decisions for themselves. It has been most rewarding to be involved in such intimate experiences and holding space for women while they are in some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives. I strongly believe that the way we prepare ourselves determines our next steps. I have made it my mission to ensure that every birthing person and their families are fully prepared by being supported every step of the way throughout their prenatal, labor and postpartum journey. I know for a fact that I was created for this work and I look forward to continuing to share myself with the birthing community!

With a background in child and family studies, social work, and years of experience supporting families through birth and beyond, I bring both clinical knowledge and heart-centered care to every client I serve.

I met Kam to be our doula for the birth of our first baby. She took the time to teach us anything we needed or wanted to know for our birth - and she stayed focused on our plan the whole way. She provided a ton of evidence-based strategies and a lot of what I’d say could provide comfort as well even if the evidence is more emergent. She is amazing with her specific skill set in postpartum recovery as well.
