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!
