Gold Country Doula

Gold Country Doula Providing Birth and Bereavement Doula Services and Childbirth Education classes My name is Emily Campbell. I am a DONA International Certified Birth Doula.

I am a wife to my high school sweetheart and the mother of 7 amazing children, two of which live in Heaven. My passion for birth is something I’ve had from a very young age. My earliest memories were spent daydreaming about all things pregnancy, birth, and babies. My own journey with motherhood has only deepened this love. Throughout the births of my own children I have discovered the sacredness of the labor and birth experience. I also understand the ache of pregnancy loss, as I've lost two babies, and how that can affect your experience through a new pregnancy and anxieties leading up to birth. My hope as a doula is to help educate mothers and families to make their own decisions on how they want their birth to go and to help support them as they try to achieve it. I believe in the empowerment that comes from a woman taking charge of her labor that reveals a deeper strength within her that she never knew was there. I believe that a strong support system offered to mothers, through their partner’s and a doula’s presence, can help them have a beautiful experience that they will relive the rest of their lives. I believe in Mothers and I believe in birth, and I am committed to supporting them through this special time. It is an amazing experience and I would love to have the opportunity to support you on your journey to adding a new member to your family. My services include:

• A free consultation for you to meet me to decide if I would be a good fit for you
• 2 - prenatal visits. At these visits we will discuss relaxation techniques, comfort measures, I will help assist you in forming a birth plan, and answer any questions or concerns you may have.
• Starting at 38 weeks I will be on-call for your birth until you go into labor. During this time I will be available for you to call/text/or email with any questions or concerns.
• I provide continuous support throughout labor and will be there to help you make informed decisions along the way
• I will remain with you one hour after your baby is born to help assist with breastfeeding and any other things you may be in need of
• 1 postpartum visit when your baby is about a week old to discuss your birth experience, answer questions you may have, and assist you with any help you may need

If we change positions often during labor, we should change positions often while pushing. Let's keep helping give baby space and options while they navigate the pelvis.
Even when an epidural is utilized that doesn't mean we can't move around. We can even try out hands and knees!

Did you know you can ask for Intermittent Auscultation with a doppler during labor? While this may not be an option for all labor scenarios, it's a great choice for families who are able and who would like to avoid the straps or stickers of other monitors.

The boys were the champs of 2025.
What a beautiful year of watching so many families grow. I say it every year and this year will be no different: I am so thankful for the ability to do this work. Birth work is always a wild ride. Sometimes it goes slow and sometimes it goes fast. It brings incredible joy and sometimes deep sorrow. I always leave births changed. Impacted by each unique experience and carrying pieces of each family with me as I go.
Thank you to all my 2025 families for trusting me to be apart of such a special time of your lives.
I’m almost completely booked through July of 2026. Can’t wait to meet all the babes of the New Year!

The confidence of this mother to do what she needs to do in labor has been something I've gotten the joy of watching for 3 babies now. She sets a tone of brilliant assurance that she knows her body and her baby the best.

Even if we have a staff member who isn't as trusting in her process, she doesn't waiver and allows them to tag along for an experience that I believe will help build their own trust in women's bodies to birth babies.

Everyone gets the opportunity to grow in every birth that is experienced. It's one of the amazing parts of birth. You never leave the same.

“The instant of birth is exquisite. Pain and joy are one at this moment. Ever after, the dim recollection is so sweet that we speak to our children with a gratitude they never understand.”

I must tell you why this birth was extra special!
See the new Pop Pop and Gigi falling in love with their grandbaby? I first met them 5 years ago when they had a sweet baby of their own. Fast forward to now as their oldest daughter welcomes her first baby and they become grandparents.
I adore my clients so much and always feel so honored for people to trust me enough to welcome me into their birth experiences, but getting invited back and getting to watch families grow in a room where babies, parents, and grandparents are born is extra beautiful.
What a lucky baby to get to be loved by all of you!

I can’t believe it either, but as of this week all my November and December spots are filled. Only a few other dates are open for the rest of 2025 and I know very soon I’ll be getting messages about 2026 dates!!
This is your reminder to book early if you’re hoping to get a spot on my client calendar!!

I feel lucky every time I get to watch a man become a father. The overflowing of love for this new life, admiration for the strength it took for his wife to get their baby there, and the exhaustion and anxious excitement he dug through to support his family in the process.

I get to watch babies be born.
Mothers be born.
Fathers be born.
Families be born.

Our Story

My name is Emily Campbell. I am a wife to my high school sweetheart and the mother of six amazing children, four living and two angels. My passion for birth is something I’ve had from a very young age. My earliest memories were spent daydreaming about all things pregnancy, birth, and babies. My own journey with motherhood has only deepened this love. Throughout the births of my own children I have discovered the sacredness of the labor and birth experience. Which is what led me to becoming a DONA International Certified Birth Doula.

I also understand the ache of pregnancy loss, as I’ve lost two babies, and how that can affect your experience through a new pregnancy and the anxieties leading up to birth. I became a Certified Birth and Bereavement Doula through Stillbirthday after the loss of my daughter Emma. I have a huge passion to come alongside of families no matter the outcomes of their pregnancy. Grief is a unique and difficult journey to take, but you don’t have to make it alone.

My hope as a doula is to help educate mothers and families to make their own decisions on how they want their birth to go and to help support them as they work to achieve it. I believe in the empowerment that comes from a woman taking charge of her labor that reveals a deeper strength within her that she never knew was there. I believe that a strong support system offered to mothers, through her partner’s and a doula’s presence, can help her have a beautiful experience that she will relive the rest of her life.

I believe in Mothers and I believe in birth, and I am committed to coming alongside of them through this special time.
