I support women through pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum in a way that is personal, real, and deeply attentive.
No two women, no two pregnancies, and no two births are the same. Because of that, my support is never one size fits all. I take the time to truly know you, to understand what matters to you, and to show up in a way that feels steady, calm, and grounded throughout each phase of this experience.
My work is centered on trust. Trust in your body. Trust in your intuition. Trust in the process you are walking through. I am here to support you emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually, and to walk alongside you as you move through one of the most meaningful transitions of your life.
I work especially well with families planning birth center or home births and those who lean toward a more natural approach to pregnancy, labor, and breastfeeding. That said, my goal is always to support with honesty and integrity, creating a space where you feel respected, heard, and cared for.
If you are looking for a doula who will be present, calm, and genuinely invested in your experience, I would be honored to support you.
Prenatal Support
During pregnancy, our time together is intentional and relaxed. We meet in spaces that feel comfortable to you and talk together about all your hopes, your questions, and any fears that may be lingering in the background. I stay in close contact throughout your pregnancy, checking in regularly, sharing educational and physical resources when the need arises. We will also spend time practicing comfort measures so you feel prepared and confident as birth approaches.
My goal in the prenatal season is simple: that you feel informed, supported, and deeply trusting of your body long before labor ever begins.
Depending on which level of support you need, this is also the time-frame where those lovely prenatal massages will occur, either at my location or at your own home, according to your schedule and preferred space!
01
Birth Support
My birth services provide in-person support throughout labor and delivery, offering essential assistance during this pivotal stage of pregnancy. As your doula, I am dedicated to delivering the support you and your family need, whether through massage, pain management techniques, birth education, or other personalized care. Prior to your delivery, we will have a thorough discussion to ensure I understand how to best assist you and collaborate effectively with your medical team, making the birthing process as smooth and empowering as possible.
02
Postpartum Support
The postpartum period is an exciting and transformative time as you bond with your newborn, but it can also be overwhelming as your body adjusts and your emotions fluctuate. My goal is to offer the additional support you may need during this important phase. Whether you require assistance with meals, help caring for your baby to get some much-needed rest, or support in your own recovery, I am here to ensure you have the resources and care necessary for a smooth and comfortable transition into parenthood.

Hi there! I am The Auburn Doula, or more practically referred to as, Emily.
I am a passionate birth worker here in the Chattanooga/Cleveland and wide surrounding area.
My approach in the birth setting is centered on empowerment, presence, and advocacy. Whether you’re planning your home birth, hospital birth, or something in-between, I’m here to walk and talk with you through it all. As your doula, it is my desire that you feel prepared, informed, and supported in your experience.
Birth can be raw and beautiful but even a bit nerve wracking, but my goal not matter how your experience unfolds, is to help you trust your body, lean into your intuition, and feel confident as you move through one of life’s most meaningful moments.
