Embodied Birth: A Sacred Return to Sovereignty
From mentorship to ceremony, trauma healing to education—walk the spiral of womanhood, birth, and postpartum with wisdom, reverence, and trust.
Welcome to Embodied Birth
I'm Emily—a home-birthing mother, retired nurse, natural birth mentor, and ceremony facilitator. I serve women in Southern Maine and virtually worldwide, guiding them to reclaim birth as a sacred rite of passage. Whether you're preparing for a home birth, seeking trauma integration, or desiring ceremonial support, I'm here to walk with you.
Birth Is a Portal—Let’s Walk It Together
Whether you’re preparing, remembering, or healing—I offer grounded, woman-centered support for the full continuum of your journey.
I am Beyond a Doula
I walk with women through the sacred thresholds of conception, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum—not as a birth worker bound by protocol, but as a guide, space holder, and witness to your transformation.
My Beyond a Doula offerings weave deep education, energetic attunement, and soul-level support. This is intuitive, reverent, woman-centered care—for those who know birth is more than medical, and motherhood is a rite of passage.
Available In-Person (Southern Maine) & Virtually (Worldwide)
Because the kind of care I offer transcends location—what I hold is timeless, relational, and rooted in the wisdom of the feminine.

"Emily’s deep knowledge of physiological birth helped me uncover a new sense of strength. She guided us through every decision with clarity and trust, helping us create a birth plan that truly reflected our values. Her presence brought calm and confidence into every part of the journey."
“Emily is definitely a top choice for anyone looking for birth support. She has been through the medical system and knows how to navigate it but even more so, she understands the power of the human body. She provides evidence based information to help women feel informed and educated so they can have the birth they desire. She is an excellent choice for women who seek to have the best chance at a natural birth as possible. She is supportive, intelligent, inspiring, and truly the definition of a birth advocate! “
"Emily brings a rare blend of grounded wisdom and calm presence. She held space with strength, helped us prepare with intention, and guided us toward a birth experience rooted in sovereignty and trust. She’s not just a doula—she’s a true keeper of birth."
“I am so grateful for the sacred truths that Emily shares, I know that this knowledge and awareness is so healing and changing the lives of so many.”
“Emily has been such a huge blessing to work with! She has been the most incredible addition to our birth team this time around and we have noticed such a difference in my care and mindset because of it. She has been extremely encouraging, exceptionally supportive, full of wisdom and wise words, and has held such soothing and calming presence every time she enters the space. I couldn't be more pleased with our time together and will forever be so grateful for her role in the birth of our daughter!”
I hold space for women to birth not only their babies, but the next version of themselves—through grounded mentorship, ritual, and radical remembrance of their innate power.
