Soft Steps Postpartum Care

Practice overview

Hi! I have been working in childcare for the last 7 years, with a specialty in newborn and infant care. I recently worked with a mother who had infant twins and it was a realization of how much support the mother and the entire family need at this time in their life. So I did the work and became a certified Postpartum Doula and now would love the opportunity to meet and work for other families.

Care philosophy

I believe that a postpartum doula is there to help the entire family with the birth of a new child. They are there to help the mother heal and make the household a place of peace and order and facilitate the needs of everyone in the family during this time of change.

Emily is a dream to work with. She is reliable, professional, friendly and playful. She was flexible when we had schedule changes and understanding when our daughter was cranky or needy. Emily’s communication style is direct and respectful which allowed us to discuss expectations and compensation without ambiguity. We recommend her to all of our friends.

I cannot think of someone I would rather have in my home during such an emotional and vulnerable transition. Emily is thoughtful, calm, intuitive, and caring to new parents, newborns, and children.

Emily is THE BEST! I recommend Emily whenever she is available to all of my friends. She is the most loving, compassionate, and empathetic person. I am so grateful that she was able to help me care for our daughter from her early days. I remember one instance when my daughter was very sick. It was one of those really bad stomach bugs but it was the first we ever encountered. It was all hands on deck caring for her. Emily stepped in like she was a third parent; holding her, letting her sleep on her, comforting her when she was throwing up… There were many less dramatic instances of what a wonderful caregiver Emily is. But that one sticks out in my mind as an example of her instinctual empathy. Another thing worth mentioning is that Emily is really easy to be around. When someone is working in your home, you want a person who brings energy rather than takes it. Emily’s positive presence brightens every space she is in. I wish I was having another baby so I could hire her again!
