Hi I'm Emma
Welcome! Congrats on your pregnancy! I’m so happy to have you here. I am a Dona trained birth and postpartum doula, Lamaze trained Childbirth Educator, Babywearing Educator and registered Hypnodoula with Hypnobabies. I am also a wife, and mom of two littles who inspired my passion into birth work. The way we give birth and the way people show up for us postpartum, matters! I truly want the best for every mother! As your doula, I am dedicated to providing you with unwavering support throughout your journey.
I strongly believe in informed consent and one of my goals as a doula is to help you find your strength within through education and birth planning. I am passionate in helping you experience a happier, healthier and easier birth!
I always strive to make sure you and your partner have all the information, physical, and emotional support to feel confident and make the best choices that align with you.
Let’s chat and see if we are a good fit to work together! After all, birth and postpartum are the most intimate, and sacred times in your life, you deserve to have a trusted doula by your side.
“Childbirth is an experience in a woman’s life that holds the power to transform her forever. Passing through these powerful gates – in her own way – remembering all the generations of women who walk with her… She is never alone.”
– Suzanne Arms
Kind Words
“Having Emma as our doula was the best decision we made for our birth. From the moment we met her, we felt comfortable and supported. She took the time to understand what we wanted for our birth and helped us feel prepared and confident.
When I went into labor, Emma was there every step of the way. She guided us through different positions, helped me stay calm with breathing techniques, and was an incredible support to both me and my partner. She made us feel safe and empowered, even when things got a little intense.
After our baby was born, she stayed with us to make sure we were settling in okay and helped with breastfeeding, which was so reassuring. I’m so grateful for her care and support and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula.”

“I learned from Emma to keep an open mind, and this was one of the most important tips Emma helped me realize. I had a few medical complications, but through it all Emma was by my side, ensuring I had time to ask questions and understand all that was happening to me. The nurse that was with us during my labor was more old school and hard lined. I was intimidated! But Emma was not – she spoke up to make sure that I had time to process and understand everything, and she made it okay for me to move forward with the things that I wanted. This was exactly what I wanted and expected in my doula, and I felt so supported and cared for. After we came home from the hospital Emma continued to ensure I had the resources and support I needed. I am so grateful to have had Emma by my side during this journey.”
