About me
Hello, I'm Emily, a CAPPA certified postpartum doula. Originally from Portland, I traveled and worked as a nanny in Corvallis, Grand Cayman, Amsterdam, SF, and Denver—almost always with babies. I transitioned to doula work in San Francisco and have loved quickly adapting to each family's needs ever since. I excel at making parents comfortable, soothing babies and providing guidance, as well as fitting myself in wherever help is needed in your household. Be that baby care, cooking, organizing, laundry, massage, or a sympathetic and impartial ear. I will support you so that you can confidently care for your new tiny human!

Ratings and reviews
Emily is truly the best. As our postpartum doula with our third child, Emily was amazing in everything she did - caring for the baby with expertise and love, keeping our family well nourished, attending to my needs and the needs of our older children, keeping our house clean, and always bringing joy into our home. Emily is wonderful and a gift to anyone who gets to work with her.
