Meet Your Doula

Emili

My passion for birth work began while supporting a close friend through her natural birth, an experience that deeply shaped the way I care for families today. Helping her with her new baby was an eye-opening experience of how overwhelming a newborn can feel. I knew, then, I wanted to give other moms the same support I was able to give her.

My Journey Into Birth Work

My journey into this work began long before motherhood, during my years as a nanny, where I discovered a deep love for supporting families. That passion only grew as I became a mother myself, leading me to become a certified postpartum doula.

My Approach

With my background in mental health, I take a holistic approach that supports parents not just physically, but also through the emotional and mental transition of birth and postpartum. I have found a special love for walking alongside parents as they grow in confidence during their pregnancy and those first few weeks with their newborn.
When I'm not at a birth, you can most likely find me snuggling my pets with my nose in a book. I also love chasing my nephews around (giving their mom a break) and exploring my artistic side — be it painting, sewing, or sculpting (oh my!).
