I believe women should have all the support they want and need at every birth. I truly feel I have been called to do birth work. I want to help women find their power so they can have the best chance at the birth they desire. I became a birth doula because I believe in the innate primal ability of women to do precisely what our bodies were designed to do, grow and birth babies. I became a doula because I want women to know they can in a world were we are constantly told we can’t. Our society has become obsessed with “problem solving” that we treat birth as if it is a problem to be “fixed” when in many cases, if left perfectly alone, women would have no problem at all. I completely understand necessary intervention for legitimate concerns or complications. There is certainly a time and place. However, my ultimate goal is to help women through birth with as little intervention as possible, with as much knowledge as possible and with full informed consent to any intervention presented. If you want to have natural, intervention free birth, will take the time to educate yourself & truly prepare for birth—you are giving yourself & your baby the best chance at experiencing the birth you were designed to have!

We will meet at least twice in the third trimester. I am always available to text or call throughout your entire pregnancy. I will be on-call for you 24/7 starting at 37 weeks until the onset of labor. I will remain with you to support you throughout labor until birth. I typically stay for 1-2 hours after birth to help establish breastfeeding, if necessary. Within the first week we will have a postpartum visit where we discuss the birth and my services.
We will meet up to 3 times in the third trimester. I am always available to text or call throughout your entire pregnancy. I will be on-call for you 24/7 starting at 37 weeks until the onset of labor. I will remain with you on video call to support you throughout labor until birth. We will then have 1 virtual visit within the first couple of weeks to discuss the birth and my services.
Whether this is your first baby or 5th, having a doula has been shown to increase positive birth experiences & outcomes.
Emily was my doula for my planned home birth, which ended up being a transfer to the hospital. I cannot express how much her presence made my whole experience better. She was so helpful and calming throughout the entire process, especially when we had to transfer. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a doula. She’s the best!

My experience with Emily from Blissful Embrace Doula was nothing short of amazing. I had had my previous four births in a hospital setting but decided to go another route with my fifth pregnancy. It was all extremely new to me, but I knew that if I wanted the best chance at achieving a natural, out-of-hospital birth, I would need someone in my support group to help me along the way. Emily is very knowledgeable about all things pertaining to women’s reproductive health, as well as women’s overall health. She was able to recommend a midwife/birthing center nearby, several books, websites, Instagram accounts, etc. to help me gain the knowledge and confidence I would need throughout the pregnancy and birth. No question or concern was off limits and she was always available to reach through text or call. When it came time for my labor and delivery, just seeing Emily’s face at the birthing center reminded me all that I had learned over the previous months and I was able to remain focused and calm. The birth was peaceful, although quick! I never thought of my previous births as being “bad” or “traumatic”, but after this experience, I’d go back and have all my births naturally, outside of the “traditional” hospital setting. My physical healing, as well as mental/emotional healing, were a night and day difference. I have no doubt it was due to the research and resources that surrounded me along the way. My eyes have been opened so much to what women are truly capable of and I love continuing to learn about births of all kinds. Emily was an invaluable doula and support person to have in our corner and she’d be a great asset to anyone else in their pregnancy/birth journey. She cares about her clients and their families so much. You won’t go wrong choosing Blissful Embrace Doula services.

When I got pregnant I was so incredibly excited to learn every single thing I could about birth. I soon realized I wanted a birth without medication or intervention and started to target all my research that way. It wasn’t until maybe 22 weeks that I decided I needed a doula. That was easily the best decision my husband and I made in our entire pregnancy. Emily is not just a source of information, but an emotional rock. EVERYTHING about my birth plan changed and at every step she was there to give the facts and support me in my decision. She helped me create a calming space and gave me gentle cues to help me through labor. Beyond that, my husband had a partner in offering me support during labor. It’s so hard to watch someone you love experience hard things, and he’s said several times he couldn’t have done it without Emily. I’m so grateful for the support and friendship we found with Emily, and will have her back with us for our next birth for sure. Even if you have all the knowledge and you think you’re 100% prepared, you still need Emily! She will bring you exactly what you didn’t know you needed, and You won’t regret it.

Emily was great at making me feel like I could achieve my goal of having an unmedicated birth. She was my strong support when my husband was more uncomfortable with my ideas and was there for me in ways he couldn’t be (and there’s nothing wrong with that). I showed up to her later in my pregnancy but it didn’t stop her from helping me feel more than prepared and capable. The meetings before the birth were helpful and she was there just minutes after I showed up to the hospital and she was key in helping me through contractions before my second baby was born. She also came to visit after the birth to make sure my recovery was going well and was responsive to any calls or texts I had throughout my pregnancy. I wish I would have had Emily there for my first and I’ll be going back if we have any more!

I can’t say enough good things about Emily and her doula services! She has been with me through all 3 of my pregnancies and births. I absolutely feel like I could not have done it without her. Her calm demeanor, knowledge, and experience in labor and child birth is a necessity when going through something so sacred and special. If you are wanting to feel supported and cared for in child birth, Emily is the doula for you!
