About me

Hi, I’m Emma—founder of Solstice Birth Co, and a birth worker with over a decade of experience supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. My journey into this work began in a deeply personal way—witnessing birth as a child, I was struck by how powerful, raw, and transformative it was. That early experience stayed with me and ultimately led me down the path of midwifery. Years later, I went on to have my own home birth with my daughter in 2009—an experience that further rooted my belief in the body’s innate wisdom and the importance of feeling safe, supported, and truly seen during birth. I went on to train as a traditionally trained midwife (CPM, LM), working hands-on with families across California and building a strong clinical and intuitive foundation in the midwifery model of care—one that honors pregnancy and birth as physiologic, sacred, and deeply human experiences. At this time, I am no longer offering home birth midwifery care. Instead, I’ve shifted into a more integrative and supportive role—one that allows me to walk alongside women and families in a deeply personalized way through Solstice Birth Co.

Service introduction

1:1 Prenatal Wellness Support (Virtual & In-Person) Women don’t need a coach to be pregnant. But many appreciate having a space where they feel heard, supported, and championed. This is about bridging the gap in modern maternity care—offering guidance between appointments, answering questions as they arise, and helping you feel confident in your choices. Together, we focus on nutrition, supplementation, movement, pelvic health, education, and emotional support—creating a nonjudgmental space where you can talk about anything and everything as you navigate this season. Birth Doula & Advocacy Labor Support As your doula, I provide continuous emotional, physical, and informational support during labor. I help you stay grounded, understand your options, and advocate for your preferences—so you feel empowered and supported in your birth experience, wherever you choose to deliver. Postnatal / Fourth Trimester Support The postpartum period is a time that deserves deep care and intention. I offer holistic support rooted in recovery—helping you navigate feeding, newborn care, body healing, and emotional transitions while honoring the sacredness of the fourth trimester. Night Nursing (Newborn Care Support) In those early weeks with your new bub, I provide overnight care so you can rest and recover. This includes feeding support, soothing, and light baby-related care—creating a calm, supported environment for your whole family.
