Hi, I’m Emily!
Happy you are here!
I love that I get to support women in one of the most magical and human experiences on earth! It is my absolute joy to help families feel more connected and in-tune with their bodies during birth.
I didn’t always know I wanted to be a birth doula, but when I found this path everything changed. My journey to being a doula has blended many different philosophies, techniques, and backgrounds that all support this intuitive, primal, and love-filled work. A little bit about me: I have worked as an Emergency Medical Technician, Genetics and Perinatal researcher, and volunteered as a crisis counselor which have all influenced my practice as a birth doula and HypnoBirthing instructor.
While supporting you throughout pregnancy, labor, and beyond you can expect to feel grounded by my compassionate and trauma-informed presence, physically supported through my understanding of physiology and hands-on comforting nature as well as feeling cared for and guided by your nerdy, birth obsessed best friend.
Birth is beautiful, wild, magical, intense, primal, fun, loving, and so much more! I can’t wait to support you through all its waves.
In my free time, you can find me gardening, obsessing over each new sprout, flower, and growth. Yoga, hiking/ outdoor walks, and swimming are my favorite activities. My heart is fullest when surrounded by my loved ones as well as animals, specifically dogs and the newest additions to my growing homestead, chickens!

Birth is about starting a family, a new life, and connecting with your new sense of self as a parent. We need community to feel safe, validated, and share in the beauty of birth.
-
It’s YOUR birth story, as your birth doula I am a guide or facilitator. Your experience and how you feel matters most. Leaving my ego at the door, it is my role to take care of you, give you suggestions for comfort, and honor the relationship you have with others who may be supporting you too!
-
Intentionally preparing and understanding how you want to feel in birth is powerful. Deciding what energy surrounds you while meeting your child for the first time sets the foundation for a lifetime together! Having compassion for your body and your unique experience is important, some plans change in labor and adaptability to the new flow brings balance and humble beginnings for your family.
-
Birth is playful, bold, and challenging. I am here to walk by your side during this adventure to witness your strengths, hold out a hand, and experience your full feminine power. My goal is for you to feel the radiating energy of love, light, intimacy, and nourishment throughout your journey to parenthood and beyond.
Core Values
My Approach
It all begins with you! Building relationships and getting to know what moves you is what I do best. I utilize my expertise in birth and tools from massage, hypnotherapy, meditations, and various comfort tools to support you. My goal is to meet you where you are and give you individualized care.
I’m here to bring out your strengths, eliminate your fears, and create a safe space for you to give birth. I’m excited to learn what works best for you, adapt with your needs, and provide you with additional resources.
