Meet Emily P.

Emily is a well loved DONA trained birth doula on our team. She is experienced supporting hospital and home births, as well as, both unmedicated and medicated births.  Emily has a deep belief that all families thrive when they feel respected, safe, informed and cared for and she works hard to create this for each unique family.  She provides families with compassionate, respectful and evidence based care. She wants every family to meet their birth and postpartum goals as best as they can. She is a confident and strong support for all families, including families striving for unmedicated births.

Emily has supported young moms, families that prefer Spanish, unmedicated birth, inductions, C-section, epidural, and IV analgesic births, as well as, twins, breech, and VBAC. She particularly prides herself on shifting her style of presence to what is needed from moment to moment in a birth, for both mom and partner. Emily also brings extensive training and experience in supporting breastfeeding initiation and latch adjustment in a way that leaves mom feeling capable of her definition of success once home. 

Emily has over 6 years of experience supporting births and has trained to become a Certified Professional Midwife. Her favorite part of birth is watching the parents’ faces as they meet their baby for the first time. There is nothing like the love that fills a room upon the first cry, and Emily is always grateful for the opportunity to be invited to witness that moment and the strength in mom and partner that preceded it.
