Hello, my name is Emily and I am a DONA certified Birth Doula serving the Fort Collins and Loveland area. My goal is to provide support to families to give you a successful and positive birth experience. I am so glad you are here and look forward to talking with you!

As a doula I see my ultimate job as perinatal support - prenatal, birth, and postpartum - to minimize stress to the birthing person and their baby/s. In this way, we can work together for your desired outcome and I expect to work with you for many months. I provide support through education and resource provision as well as validation and guidance via 24/7 phone availability, in person sessions that can include guided meditations or meal provision, and doctor visit support and transport options. I offer on call services two weeks prior to your expected due dates and will travel to home or hospital - wherever YOU are the most comfortable is where I know the best birth outcome to occur. I am currently accepting clients looking for long-term support, though if you are expecting soon I encourage you to reach out as I am accepting short-term clients on a case-by-case basis. I may be able to refer you or offer phone support if I am unavailable. This profession is not new to me, though I am currently in the certification process to be able to accept insurance including MEDICAID in Illinois and will update this listing once complete. I do offer pay plans and sliding scale opportunities as it is my core belief to provide aid in any way I can on your journey - reach out!

I entered into the childbirth field for two main reasons. First, I want to empower women through the natural methods of childbirth. I remember the feelings of strength and control that I encountered when I had my three children at home in the presence of midwives. Now, I want to pass this on to other expectant mothers. With my first pregnancy, I was alone and thought about placing my baby with adoptive parents. Then one day, along comes the most incredible woman who ended up changing my life. She was a midwife who said that she would take me on as a client for the fee of $50 (for supplies). Little did I know that she had hoped that a home birth would convince me to keep my baby. Well, her plan was a success and she has given me a gift I have yet to repay. My second reason for getting into the birthing field was because I want to eradicate the general public’s misconceptions about pregnancy and the birthing process. A woman’s pregnant uterus should not be treated as a tumorous growth to be controlled by medicine, but rather a natural event that women have been participating for many years before doctors. In most cases, birth can be accomplished safely and satisfactorily without intervention, such as drugs and surgery. The need for patience must be practiced in the presence of a laboring woman. I believe that each labor and birth is a unique and miraculous experience. I also believe that there is more than one good way to have a baby and that parents should have the proper tools available for effective informed consent and informed refusal.
