Welcome, I'm Emily!

For over eight years, I’ve been supporting families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and early parenting β€” walking alongside them during one of the most tender and transformative seasons of life. Since beginning this work in 2017, I’ve supported families in North Bay and surrounding areas, and now I have relocated to proudly support families in the Muskoka region.

At Growing Together Doula Services, I provide compassionate, full spectrum doula support grounded in experience, education, and respect for each family’s unique path. There is no one-size-fits-all approach here β€” I offer practical guidance and steady emotional support, meeting you where you are in both the joys and the challenges that come with growing a family. 

Whether you’re adopting, navigating surrogacy, welcoming your first baby, or adding to your growing family, I will be by your side, offering the reassurance, support, and information you need to feel confident every step of the way.

Let's grow togetherβ€”one moment at a time.

Doula support is rooted in presence, care, and connection.

Doulas offer steady, non-medical support through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and other reproductive and life transitions. This care may include emotional support, practical assistance, and clear, up-to-date information that helps families navigate change and make choices that feel aligned for them.

At Growing Together Doula Services, care is collaborative, non-judgmental, and centered on the needs of the whole family. The intention is simple: to ensure families feel informed, supported, and held through times of transition by walking alongside you as part of your village, without replacing medical care or taking over.
