Emily is an experienced doula offering both birth and postpartum support. She received her professional doula training through Cardinal Birth Midwifery in 2018 and further advanced her skills with the Active Birth Institute in 2023. Emily is also a certified Lamaze childbirth educator, and has completed the Blossoming Bellies Pelvic Bodywork and Use of the Rebozo Workshop for Birth Professionals. Additionally, she holds current Basic Life Support (BLS) certification.

Emily’s passion for birth work was ignited after experiencing the profound difference a doula’s support made during the birth of her third child. She believes that all birthing individuals inherently possess the knowledge needed to navigate labor and delivery. However, she recognizes that this innate wisdom can often be clouded by an overwhelming amount of online information and well-meaning but conflicting advice from loved ones. Emily's primary goal is to equip her clients with evidence-based knowledge about the physiological process of birth, empowering them to feel confident and prepared for their birthing experience.

In addition to birth work, Emily emphasizes the importance of cultivating a strong mind-body connection for expectant parents. She believes that fostering this inner bond not only nurtures confidence during birth, but also supports a smooth transition into parenthood. Emily feels deeply honored to accompany families on their unique birth journeys and particularly values the opportunity to provide continuity of care during the postpartum period.

With over 15 years of experience as a care provider for infants, Emily brings a wealth of practical expertise to her role as a postpartum doula. She is also a proud mother of four, with children born in 2011, 2014, 2018, and 2020. Known for her calming presence and compassionate support, Emily helps new parents (and even their pets!) navigate the early days of parenthood with confidence and peace. She believes that a peaceful, supportive environment is crucial in the early stages of life and strives to reduce stress for families, ensuring a harmonious start to their newborn's life.

When not supporting families, Emily enjoys spending time with her children, practicing yoga, and connecting with nature through outdoor adventures.
