Emilie Southward

Birth Doula + Childbirth Educator

Bio

​After a less than ideal journey into motherhood, Emilie’s first birth was everything she needed it to be: empowering, beautiful, and redemptive. It was just a few hours after birth that she knew she had to focus her life on helping other families bring their babies into the world in a positive way. Emilie became a certified birth educator later that year (in 2014) and is also a certified birth doula, with additional training in breastfeeding and Spinning Babies. Emilie has two miracle babies and some of her favorite things include iced coffee, gluten-free muffins, sunshine, and her husband.
