About Emma

Hello! My name is Emma Talley and I am a certifying birth doula located in Austin, TX. My previous career as an elementary teacher and an outdoor sciences educator has provided me the skills to be the calm, listening presence at your side as you ride the wave of pregnancy, labor and postpartum. I am an open-minded and gentle birth doula who believes in the transformative power of childbirth. My mission is to support pregnant individuals in taking charge of their birth choices, fostering education on the birthing process. I provide unwavering support for home births, hospital births, and birthing center births, ensuring that every birthing person feels safe, heard, and empowered throughout this sacred experience.

I am so happy that I was able to have Emma as my doula. It was my first pregnancy and I had so many questions. Not only is Emma filled with knowledge on pregnancy, holistic health and remedies but she was the best support person/hype girl. She really made me feel empowered and able to bring my girl into the world. She has all of the tips and tricks to help things go smoothly and held space for me when I really needed it. I hope I am able to have her at any future births. It wouldn’t be the same without her <3
