The first baby to fall asleep in Emily’s arms was her nephew when she was just eight years old. Since then, birth and new life have continuously called to her. Despite over twenty years of professional experience with babies and initial doula training in 2011, it took the pandemic to inspire her to leave her work in non-profit animal welfare and pursue her true passion. In 2021, she began supporting families full-time as a certified birth and postpartum doula and considers herself fortunate to love her work. Emily provides compassionate, personalized support for birth in all settings and is dedicated to educating and empowering parents. With a toolbox brimming with everything from Spinning Babies to HypnoBirthing, she weaves her knowledge into each moment and brings an informed, grounded presence to every space she holds.

I believe every family deserves compassionate support, encouragement, and a safe space to feel seen and cared for. To me, birth is powerful, sacred, and deeply transformative. My favorite part of being a doula is witnessing families grow in confidence as they step into parenthood, knowing I was there to support them through those tender, life-changing moments. As a proud mother of two daughters, I understand both the joys and challenges of this season, and as a bilingual doula (English and Spanish), I’m grateful to connect with families in the language that feels most natural to them.
Before becoming a doula, I worked in the juvenile courts and later in education supporting students with special needs. These experiences deepened my compassion, patience, and dedication to advocacy—qualities I now bring into my doula care. I am honored to serve families and hold space for them during one of the most meaningful journeys of their lives.
