Hi, I’m Emma RN, BSN, postpartum doula, and mom of two boys. I’ve worked as a nurse for over 6 years, including in an OB/GYN office, and that experience gave me such a deep understanding of women’s health, newborn care, and healthcare as a whole. But honestly, becoming a mom myself changed everything for me.

After having my boys, I experienced how intense the postpartum period can be. Between pregnancy complications, feeding challenges, postpartum anxiety, and trying to figure out who you are while also caring for a newborn. I quickly realized how much mothers truly need support during this stage of life. That’s what gave me the ah-ha moment to pursue doula work.

I’ve lived in Utica my entire life, and it means so much to me to now support families within the same community that shaped me. And I love being able to combine my nursing background with my own motherhood experience to support women in a way that feels both knowledgeable and deeply personal.

My approach involves evidence-based care, emotional support, and providing families the tools they need to have a smooth transition. From there, my role is to support her autonomy as she moves through postpartum, offering guidance and care as she defines what matrescence looks like for her.
