After teaching classroom music and violin lessons for over 13 years, I decided to become a HypnoBirthing Certified Educator when my 3rd HypnoBirthing baby was born. Shortly after, I decided to become a doula and never turned back! Now I spend my time homeschooling my girls, teaching HypnoBirthing and supporting new families, and I LOVE it!

I've been professionally practicing as a birth and postpartum doula for seven years, with nearly double that time supporting family and friends. My belief in the innate power of birthing individuals guides me, as I aim to uplift what's already within them. Through a blend of training, experience, and holistic support, I see myself as your birth companion, enhancing existing support without replacing it.

Khavine's maternal instinct is top tier, need I say more. I was able to get the quality rest needed and she automatically blended in with our family. Priceless quality no money can buy. Thanks again Khavine and GOD bless you and your family. Love ❤️

Hi, I’m Emily! I’m a Certified Perinatal Doula (CPD) and artist based in Providence, Rhode Island. I’ve been supporting birthing families since 2022, but my path to this work started long before then. Living with endometriosis shaped my understanding of how essential it is to feel seen, heard, and supported in healthcare. When I was first learning how to navigate life with endo, I needed someone who could inform, empower, and walk with me through the unknown. Now, I’m honored to be that person for others as a doula. I’m committed to inclusive, compassionate, and evidence-based support. My approach is rooted in deep listening, genuine connection, and a belief that birth can be a powerful, joyful, and transformative experience. I offer support across four pillars: physical, emotional, informational, and advocacy, so that you and your birth partner feel informed, respected, and confident throughout your journey. I also accept Rhode Island-based insurances including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Neighborhood, United, and Medicaid. I’ll help you explore your options, prepare for the unexpected, and make choices that reflect your values. I work collaboratively with your care team to create an easeful, grounded birth environment so you can focus on birthing your baby, your way.

Emily was my doula through the pregnancy and natural birth of my daughter and I can’t say enough good things about her! Emily has a wonderful energy that makes her a joy to work with, but she is also a fierce advocate who will go to bat for you. She is the perfect combination of the consummate professional and a caring friend. She was with me every step of the way and helped me achieve a beautiful, meaningful, natural birth. And on top of it all, she is a talented photographer and she captured both my pregnancy and my daughter’s birth perfectly. I cannot recommend her enough!

Hi Mama! Are you having feeding troubles with your little one? Or maybe pumping isn’t going well. I can help you! I provide lactation support to families experiencing nipple pain, low supply, pumping issues, weight issues and I can virtually assess for tongue tie. I specialize and exclusively pumping and pumping related support. Let’s connect and get your feeding goals a reality!

Recent review

Kim is absolutely amazing! I have struggled with low supply, yeast and mastitis between both of my boys and Kim has been a tremendous help through each and every challenge I’ve encountered along the way. She not only has a wealth of knowledge but has incredible first hand experience as well. I was at such a loss when I tried contacting lactation consultants in my area only to find no one would get back to me. Kim responded to me within the hour I contacted her and was able to identify the problem and help me manage my pain until I was seen by a dr for a prescription. She is so kind and genuinely loves what she does and wants to help women in their breastfeeding, pumping or bottle feeding journeys. I am so excited to continue working with her in the future. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to help me “Embrace Lactation.”
