Hi there, I'm Ema
Encouraging women to trust and believe in their body and its ability to intuitively and naturally birth their baby brings me such joy.
The empowering feelings of confidence and courage that comes with the experience of birth few experiences can match.
Having had my own personal journey of empowerment–finding courage and confidence despite my own fears in birthing my three children–awakened a desire and passion in me to share that with as many moms as I possible can; and I have over the past 10+ years as a birth doula.
