How can I help?
A google review reads "Emily was the MVP of our birth team. They always had the right things to say and were always so willing to help in whatever way possible. Their knowledge and experience made them such an important and reliable resource for us. My husband and I always say we have no idea how we thought we were going to get through birth without Emily!

what is Radical Accompaniment? 

It is a "sharing of life" that emphasizes trust, vulnerability, and navigating uncertainty together. It aims to break down barriers between the "helper" and the "helped"

The approach is considered "radical" because it challenges existing power structures, requires a commitment to stay with someone through difficult experiences, and prioritizes long-term relationships over quick, impersonal solutions.

what is a whole-family approach? 

It means Emily supports the whole family.

It's true that only person is undergoing the physical changes of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum-- but the entire family undergoes a massive transition when a new member arrives!

 

Emily has specialized training in Paternal Perinatal Mental Health and is dedicated to supporting siblings, grandparents, and non-traditional families-- not just as supporter-people, but as individuals figuring out their new identity.

Emily doesn't just help people become mothers!

Emily helps men optimize fatherhood

and supports your little's transition into a big-sibling, too.
