About me

Hi! My name is Emily Dasilva-Hunter and I'm a certified full-spectrum doula, lactation specialist, and childbirth educator. Through experiences of loss and navigating bias within the medical system, my work and education began as acts of self-preservation and advocacy, evolving into a passion for supporting autonomy and community-centred care. My doula work is further shaped by a background in early childhood education and the privilege of caring for several wonderful families as a nanny. My approach is rooted in empowerment, empathy, inclusivity, and the understanding that support looks different for every individual. I trust you as the expert of your own path and preferences.

Service introduction

I offer full-spectrum prenatal, birth, postpartum, lactation and bereavement support and education while living and working as an uninvited settler on the traditional and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), səl̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), QayQayt First Nation, Kwantlen, q̓íc̓əy̓ (Katzie), Semiahmoo, Tsawwassen First Nations, kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem), and Stó:lō Nation. Since time immemorial, the original peoples of these lands have cared for their families and communities. I am committed to honouring their teachings, legacy and their sovereignty.

Emily was so helpful to us during our first few months as a family of 4. We are so thankful for the calming presence she brought to our home and would recommend her without hesitation!
