For Expecting Parents: Doula Services
As a Doula, I provide emotional support, birth experience, informational research, and professional body work to navigate your birth experience together with safety and support. The first 12 births I supported were at a residency in Cap-Hatien Haiti, and I have a natural warmth and grounded strength I carry with me from my Residency at the Birth House in the Caribbean. Including my NYC births I have now attended over 20 births.
Emily is an experienced NYC based Birth Doula, Acupuncturist, Craniosacral Therapist, and Pilates Instructor who works to provide support and safety to the body, mind, and spirit of birthing people. Each birth is a mystery, and yet, by preparing yourself as much as possible with the trusted support I bring to you as your Birth Doula friend, we will significantly elevate and impact your birthing experience to the ritual of love and light that birth is meant to be.
I have no agenda for your birth or what type of birth you have. I am there to support and hold space for whatever decisions about pain management and procedures you desire. I want you
and your partner to have the protected space to be there for each other and not become overwhelmed by all that the birth industry in the USA can represent and throw your way. My goal is for you to pass through this rite of passage and life ritual together in a supported
container of trust and love.
The fee for my Basic Birth Doula Package is $2800

For Infants:
Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral therapy has been proven to be restorative for infants after the trauma of birth. Whether the Birth is vaginal or cesarian, birth is a harsh and extreme shift of environments for anewborn little baby and healing light touch is therapeutic for re-regulating the nervous system and decompressing the plates of the skull which may become squished and impacted during the birth process.
