Birth with Confidence and Support.

As a certified birth doula serving Orlando and Central Florida, I provide continuous emotional, physical, and informational support before, during, and after your birth.

With over 100 births documented across three states and six years of experience as both a birth photographer and doula, I bring a unique perspective to birth support. My dual role allows me to understand birth from multiple angles, ensuring you receive comprehensive care tailored to your specific needs.

What is a Birth Doula?

A birth doula is a trained professional who provides continuous support to birthing families. Unlike medical professionals, doulas focus solely on your comfort, advocacy, and emotional well-being. I work alongside your medical team to ensure you feel informed, supported, and empowered throughout your birth experience.

The Doula Difference

Continuous Support: I stay with you throughout active labor and birth
Evidence-Based Information: Helping you make informed decisions about your care
Emotional Support: Providing reassurance and encouragement during challenging moments
Physical Comfort: Offering pain relief techniques, positioning suggestions, and comfort measures
Partner Support: Guiding your partner on how to best support you

The Research on Doula Support

Studies consistently show that continuous doula support during birth leads to:

39% decrease in cesarean births
15% increase in spontaneous vaginal births
10% decrease in use of pain medications
Shorter labors on average
Increased satisfaction with birth experience
Improved breastfeeding outcomes

My Birth Doula Approach

Trauma-Informed Care

Having supported families through various birth experiences, I understand that each birth is unique. I provide trauma-informed care that honors your individual needs, preferences, and any previous birth experiences.

Evidence-Based Support

My training through TinyLove Doula, combined with additional education through DONA, ProDoula, and the National Midwifery Institute, ensures I provide current, evidence-based information to help you make informed decisions.

Inclusive & Judgment-Free

I support all families regardless of birth preferences, family structure, or birthing location. Whether you're planning a hospital birth, birth center delivery, or home birth, I'm here to support your choices.

ELISA, BIRTH DOULA CLIENT

“Emily was so completely dedicated to me and my family that she was there every step of the way. I am forever grateful for her patience and commitment to her profession and to us as her clients. It truly says a lot about the kind of person she is.”

LINDSAY, BIRTH DOULA CLIENT

“You'd be hard-pressed to find another doula like Emily. She is truly there for YOU, without dogma. I was scared to birth alone and wanted to be intellectually, emotionally and spiritually prepared. Emily supported me from start to finish, throughout the entire perinatal experience. She listened to my wants, needs and fears. Labor is WORK and she was at my side every step of the way. Emily works from the heart with wisdom I've seen in a rare few. You can feel it.”
