“Hello! My name is Emily. I am a certified doula, childbirth educator and lactation counselor. I love all things that are pregnancy or birth related. Before becoming a doula, I worked with hospice patients. I realized, that I have come full circle – I used to help people in the final stages of life and now I help them in the beginning stages of life. I feel honored and I consider it a great privilege to participate in such a sacred, intimate time. It brings me great joy to see women become empowered during labor as they face uncertainties and overcome  fears. The best part of my job is witnessing the love in parents’ faces as they hold their baby for the first time. My job is truly thrilling!”
