Integrative Maternal Health Practitioner, Providing the Support + Village Mamas Need Postpartum

Someone once told me to treat the janitor the same way you would treat the CEO. That statement really meant something to me because I truly have it in my heart to treat people with generosity.

All of our children pick up random trash when we go out for walks, not because I ever told them to, but because I do it. I do it because it feels like the right thing to do.

This year, our oldest asked if we could get our trash man a Christmas gift because he always goes above and beyond for us, including stopping, honking his horn, and waving.

It’s a reminder that small gestures go a long way. Needless to say, the highlight of everyone’s week is when he stops by, as you can tell.

✨UNFILTERED TWIN BIRTH✨

Today, we hit the eighteen-month mark. Milestones like these always make me reflect on my birth. There are things I look back on...

I’m incredibly grateful I had my husband’s support. I’m happy I labored in the comfort of my home for the majority of the time. I already knew I would have a vaginal birth, grateful my OB allowed me to do my own thing, and I loved the fact that when I got back to our room, my mom was waiting for us.

Birth is the most vulnerable place any woman will be in; the vibe was very hard for me delivering in an OR. Mothers don’t realize how much power they have during birth, and that is because our thought process is so skewed during this intimate moment, and sometimes our surroundings are less than peaceful.

Based on my own experience, having a singleton and twins, I have been able to help so many other mothers during birth. I’ve been better at my job because I can foresee potential issues. I know what I personally liked about my births and what I would change if I could turn back the hands of time.

The bottom line is, we embrace the hard for our children and even welcome it in instead of fearing it. We release control for our babies, create life, and essentially have a rebirth ourselves.

It’s a beautiful thing.

We should spend as much time preparing for Postpartum as we do for birth.

✨No one warns you that postpartum will be so quiet and so loud at the same time.

✨That your body will feel foreign and familiar.

✨That you can be deeply in love and deeply overstimulated in the same breath.

As an integrative doula, I see this every day, and I’ve lived it too, multiple times.

Postpartum isn’t just about healing physically, it’s nervous system recalibration. With hormones out of control, and tears of happiness and confusion that you can’t control. A time when mothers deserve more space, understanding, and grace than we give them.

If you’re in it right now, you’re not broken. You’re unraveling and rebuilding at once, and it hurts in ways no one talks about. Becoming is messy, sacred, and impossibly hard.

Save this if it resonates or share with a mom who needs permission to feel all of it💫

Wrapping up with a family is always bittersweet.

This was a second-time mama who carried postpartum anxiety and depression from her first experience. She contacted me because she wanted things to be different this time around.

We moved slowly and intentionally. Supporting her nervous system, nourishing her body, and making space for her emotional healing.

As a doula, you don’t just witness growth in babies; you witness it in mothers, too. With the work we did together, this mother no longer struggled with postpartum anxiety or depression. She got to bond with her baby, and I was there to support and validate all her feelings.

When a family no longer needs me in the same way, it’s both a celebration and a soft goodbye.

This is why Integrative postpartum care matters. Being supported changes how postpartum begins—and how it’s always remembered.

Someone tell me this counts as exercise 😎

Moms—can you relate?

As I sit here and reflect on this year, I think about how slow and personally hard it was for me. I thought back to the time when we had one child; it felt hard to manage at times. When I found out we were going from 1-3, that road felt impossible for me.

This year, I showed up for myself, my family, and my clients. There were many days I lost my patience, got overwhelmed, and even felt like I didn’t sign up for this. I’ve been very honest with myself and vulnerable with others. I’ve asked for a lot of help, and that makes me feel proud.

I’m washing away all the old stories I’ve been telling myself up until this point. I believe in myself, my vision, and my family. I think I’m a good mom, wife, sister, daughter, friend, and person.

I’m Emily, and I’m loved and supported. My children don’t hold me back from anything I want to do in this lifetime. In fact, they only inspire me to be exactly who I am. I deserve everything I want out of this life, and I will get it.

I AM WORTH IT 🥂

POSTPARTUM SUPPORT FOR PARTNERS (aka: Your Time to Shine ✨)

When we had our first, my husband was off for three glorious months. It was truly a time I reflect back on with so much joy. But when we had our twins, he was back to work in two weeks. It was gut-wrenching.

I tell every family I work with: postpartum isn’t just about the baby. It’s about the team—and dads/partners play a massive role.

Moms are healing, feeding, and trying to remember what day it is. Then, suddenly, mothers are expected to be home solo. This transition is one of the hardest parts of being a new mother.

Here’s how partners can make a real difference:

🍼 LEARN THE BABY’S BASICS: Diapering, burping, soothing, bathing. The more confident you are, the more supported she feels.

🍳 HANDLE THE MEALS & HYDRATION: Feeding a newborn takes calories—lots of them. Keep snacks coming like you’re the world’s gentlest DoorDash.

🏠 MANAGE THE HOUSE: laundry, dishes, pump parts, errands… take the mental load off her plate so she can recover and bond.

💬 CHECK IN DAILY: Ask, “How’s your body feeling? What feels heavy today? What’s one thing I can take over?”

💤 TAKE OVER RIGHT AFTER WORK SO SHE CAN NAP-enough said!

💞BE HER ADVOCATE: Whether it’s setting boundaries with visitors or supporting her feeding choices, she needs you in her corner.

🌙 HELP OVERNIGHTS: One small night task—a diaper change, a bottle prep, goes a long way.

🤝 HIRE HER A POSTPARTUM DOULA: Whether she knows she needs it or not.

Postpartum support is everything. When partners show up with presence, empathy, and willingness, mothers thrive… and so do babies.

And trust me—you both will remember this season forever, in a good way.

In honor of the first anniversary since my husband left for almost five months of training.

Lately, I’ve been reflecting on that time. I was five months postpartum with twins, and during that time, I felt incredibly heartbroken, and pair that with sleep deprivation, words can’t describe that feeling inside. I showed up for our kids every single day because I knew that was what they needed.

I’ve had a tough time moving forward from that moment in time. I was so angry with the timing, I felt like my postpartum was stolen from me. A dear friend reminded me yesterday that healing takes time, and that advice hit home.

As the year has passed, I have realized how strong I am as a person. I’ve learned that I am a great mom. I’ve gained confidence that I can and will overcome adversity. That time pulled a side out of myself that I never knew I had. I still feel so incredibly loved by the people who went out of their way to show up for us every single week.

It feels so good to have my love home, I never want to take him for granted. The older I get, the more I realize how much family is everything.

No edits here, just raw emotion.

Hey MAMA✨

The truth is, you don’t really need me — you need the village you deserved from the start. Yes, I specialize in this work, but that doesn’t change the reality: families aren’t meant to do postpartum alone.

Around the world, the postpartum season is sacred and mothers are meant to rest, recover and bond with their baby/babies. Here in the U.S. moms are pushed back to work too soon, scrambling for childcare, or deciding to live the SAHM life and told to “do it all.”

Just a friendly reminder that support shouldnt be a luxery, but a requirement. If you are pregant and looking for ways to get support and build your village, be sure to download my FREE Postpartum Support Checklist.

Corporate Health & Happiness

Many people are constantly worrying about food, weight and their bodies. I’ve been there, and I know first-hand it’s not only stressful but also lonely. My name is Emily, and I give my clients’ employees freedom from this held-back way of living by giving them the tools to make informed decisions about food, moving their body, and taking back control from the negative voice in their head. Simply put, I help companies create happier and healthier working environments. For many small and medium-size employers, wages and insurance are top of mind. But it’s company culture, attitude, and environment that play a significant role in the day to day mindset and productivity of employees. Together, using company-specific initiatives (such as on-site boot camps, weekly in-person check-ins, and even group seminars) we develop a wellness plan around your company goals. From waistline inches lost to a happier, more productive work environment my clients, and their employees, experience first hand how much of a positive change working with EZ Wellness can be. **** Individual plans are available in January 2019! *** 💥💥
