Hi! My name is Emily
BIRTH DOULA, PASSIONATE ABOUT MAMSAS & YOUR BIRTH EXPERIENCE.
Hey Mama, I am so glad you are here. Congrats on your pregnancy! I have good news and bad news.
The bad news is that the movies, the media, and likely family and friends have lied to you. You have heard one horrifying birth story after another. Before you go raising the roof, stay with me here, okay?
The good news is that childbirth does not have to be scary, and it is not always filled with screaming, yelling, and agonizing pain and trauma. While yes, birth can be intense, with the right tools, mindset, and people around you, labor can also be the most empowering, peaceful, spiritual, and incredible time of your life.
I am passionate about helping you achieve your most ideal birth.
Birth is more than the common “healthy mom, healthy baby” phrase.. It is an experience that begins your motherhood for the first time and each time following. It is your baby’s first moments in the world and these things DO matter.
Whatever type of birth you are planning, unmedicated, medicated, induced, c-section, freebirth, and in whatever setting you plan to be in, home, birth center, hospital, outdoors, know that I am here to support you, encourage you, and be your person in the most vulnerable time in your life. I’ve got you, mama. I am FOR YOU!
Love you already <3
Birth is more than a “healthy mom, healthy baby”
Of course, a healthy mama and a healthy baby are the highest priority, but your experience matters too.
Services
Having a doula can be a wonderful support for any birth experience and all moms! I am here to help pregnant moms and their partners throughout pregnancy, labor, and delivery.
Loving on mama after childbirth is one of the most important parts of the birth experience. Using the principles and actions of The First Forty Days, I am here to support you in this vulnerable time in your motherhood.
With CBI training in lactation, I can assist with those early days of breastfeeding and help you get off to the best start while also pointing you to more in depth care if needed.

Let’s Meet!
Thank you for considering allowing me into your sacred birthing space! I am honored. But, I also know that this is a big decision and it is important to choose the right person you jive with. I like to first do a no-strings-attached time to chat and see if this is the right fit!
Contract & Deposit
I will send over a contract and you will pay a deposit to secure your spot on my calendar. I only take a limited number of mamas due at each time to give every mom the best of myself. Paying a deposit allows me to block off your due date!

The first days
Inspired by the book, The First Forty Days, I believe in caring for the mama as much as caring for the new baby. Bringing home a new family member can be stressful, exhausting, and overwhelming. Experienced in postpartum and newborn care, I would love to care for you and your family.

Kind words
I used Emily as a doula for both of my baby's births and if we lived in the same state I would 100% be using her again. Meeting with her before having my first baby was a great way to manage expectations as a first time mom who had no idea what to expect. My first baby came fast and furious and she showed up and quietly snuck in the room and it was like she was there the entire time. With my second baby, he was a homebirth turned hospital birth and she was an absolute Godsend. My husband was in shock and she stepped in to answer questions and quickly help my husband grab some essentials before we headed out the door. She is absolutely someone you want on your birth team.
