Hi, I am Emily.
Whether you are a first time mom, a NICU mom, a mom of multiples, or a fifth time mom, I will support you in the early weeks and months following birth. This time is called the Fourth Trimester because not only is it a period when your baby is adjusting to the world, but you and your family are also.
As a certified Postpartum Doula, I specialize in physical and emotional support, navigating feeding and education, newborn care and behaviors, light meal planning, and total family support. My mission is to nurture you with grace and discretion, tapping into your instincts to guide your adjustment from what was, to what is. You will gain confidence, and be heard and supported to smooth your healing and journey.
I am experienced with preemies, multiples, NICU, breast and bottle feeding, and more importantly, I have been where you are- with questions, uncertainties, lack of sleep, and local support.
I found Emily’s listening ear and insight into newborns so helpful and comforting in those challenging early weeks.

About me
and Hope
I am a wife and mother, a former client director for Fortune 500 companies and a community volunteer. I am following my passion to serve you in this beautiful, vulnerable time. My dream of becoming a mom goes back as far as I remember, but the road to get there was bumpy.
My journey to motherhood included infertility, multiple miscarriages, assisted reproductive therapy, a traumatic birth, and an extended stay at the NICU with a preemie.
And then there was hope. I became a mom when our daughter Hope joined our family two months ahead of schedule in 2014. There are no words for the joy she brings to our family.
For the families. For the tender moments.
We couldn’t have enjoyed or appreciated our time with Emily any more than we did. She fit in seamlessly with our family, quietly finding helpful things to do around the house and always managing to attend to whichever child needed her most at that moment. After each session our children begged for her to come back soon. And so did I: even as a 5th time mother, I found Emily’s listening ear and insight into newborns so helpful and comforting in those challenging early weeks.

Emily was a breath of fresh air during our postpartum journey! She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about everything newborn related. It was a wonderful experience hiring her as our postpartum doula!
