My passion is supporting families in their life's transitions with therapeutic touch and compassionate care. I have been practicing massage since 2012 and have been a doula since 2014. I have a strong foundation in anatomy and kinesiology through massage as well as education in Spinning Babies, Optimal Fetal positioning and Prenatal Yoga.
As a birth and postpartum doula, I have served all combinations of families and love to help facilitate the bond between parents and their babies. I see pregnancy as a time to reset one's life and evaluate habits, goals, desires, needs and everything you thought you knew about life, and perhaps cultivate a new way of living to pass down to your child.

Emily is one absolutely amazing prenatal massage therapist, birth doula, and postpartum doula! I will always have her be my doula, if its possible, and she will always hold a very special place in our hearts.
She has a wonderful calming and reassuring presence. I hired her very close to my due date because I suddenly realized that I didn't really know what to expect during labor and delivery, and was scared. When we met she asked thoughtful questions and listened in a way that I felt like she was someone who was empathetic, confident, experienced, client-centered, and flexible.

Emily was such a gem to work with! I found her during my early pregnancy for prenatal massage but she was the best masseuse I've had before and I've had A LOT of massages in my life. I would see Emily every 2 - 3 weeks throughout my pregnancy which was so needed.
I ended up hiring her as our birth doula and she was amazing. She was thoughtful in her approach, meeting with us multiple ties to discuss the birth plan and making sure we felt comfortable. During my labor, it was so helpful to have her over at our home before the hospital, supporting me but also my husband. She was a calm

I had just finished working a 70-hour week and realized that I needed some last-minute stress relief. Not only did Emily squeeze me into her busy schedule on short notice, she really listened to my every complaint and helped me to relax every muscle. I usually find that one hour is barely enough to work out all the kinks, but she was able to touch on all my points of concern -- and I truly left in a state of holistic relaxation. I will definitely be going back!

Emily is excellent with bodywork! I got a massage from her and it was so unbelievably relaxing. She could read my body and already knew to target specific muscles. After one of her massages I feel like I have much more mobility. She is so knowledgable and calming. I am already setting up a few more appointments!

I could not rate Emily more highly. I began seeing her before my pregnancy, throughout my pregnancy and have seen her during my postpartum recovery. She is attentive to the whole person (not just what areas I want "worked on"), calm, and incredibly intuitive about the body. She also has a wealth of knowledge about pregnancy and birth, which was so reassuring during that time for me. My husband also had several massages with Emily and was very pleased. I recommend her wholeheartedly!

I went to Emily for prenatal massages and I couldn't be happier. I originally thought I would just get one massage to treat myself, but after the first one I knew that I wanted (and needed) more to get me through my whole pregnancy - I had really bad hip and lower back pain throughout and the massages were very helpful to relieve that discomfort.
Emily is very calm and thorough. She asks questions about everything (not just what part of your back or shoulders you want worked on) - she asks about your pregnancy, concerns, how work is going, etc. I think she could sense how stressed out I

Where do I even start?! Emily is not only an amazing Doula but she's also an excellent massage therapist. I was lucky to have Emily as our Doula for the birth of my son in November 2017. My husband and I knew from the moment we met her that we wanted her to be a part of our birth support team. She is kind, calm and confident in her abilities.
I received a couple prenatal massages and wish I had more because it was the most relaxed I've ever felt! She creates a very peaceful atmosphere and you leave feeling so refreshed.
As a doula, she is incredibly knowledgeable about the birth process

Emily New is amazing. Emily is calm, strong, focused, smart, and present in her work. I began seeing Emily during my second pregnancy and she provided my body with the nourishment it needed. Whether my lower back was in discomfort or I just needed space to unwind, Emily created a space for me to heal. After my daughter was born, my lower back was a wreck and I remember having strains in places I could hardly describe. Emily, though, could somehow translate my tired explanations and treat my body in the most exact way. She healed my aches and helped me build strength once again. It is obvious when

Emily has been giving me prenatal massages throughout my second pregnancy and also during my first pregnancy a year and a half ago -- she is fantastic! She listens to any soreness or issues I am having and always makes me feel so relaxed and comfortable. I highly recommend Emily for prenatal massage if you're considering trying her out....do it! You won't regret it. She is such a sweetheart and is so talented.

I started working with Emily for prenatal massages when I was about 20-weeks pregnant. Once I found out she was a doula, I started to ask more questions and wonder if this was something I wanted or needed for the birth of my baby. Now that my daughter is three months old, I will say that I would never have another baby without a doula. Emily is very good at what she does and I can't say enough good things about her. She made me feel relaxed and confident about the whole labor process. I initially never wanted to have a baby because of my fear of labor. Emily was part of turning that

If you want the best energy in your pre or post baby life, go to Emily! Not only is she exceptionally skilled in what she does, but it is so, so important to have a therapist/doula that is calm, confident, & understanding. Her #1 goal is to support you on this motherhood journey & she is never overbearing with opinions. I had her both for prenatal massages and as a doula. Child birth is such an intimate experience and I never felt awkward having her with me for this life altering event. My husband was very grateful to have her support as well. No matter how long your labor may be, she is

I began seeing Emily when I was 4 months pregnant for prenatal massages. Immediately I liked Emily. She is warm and reassuring and has a very pleasant disposition about her. Eventually, I asked Emily to be my doula as well and she should really charge more for the time she spent with my husband and me. Emily met with us at our home and came to our Hyponobabies birthing rehearsal as well. During my nearly 40 hour labor, she gave me massages, guided me into varied birthing positions, and my husband was so happy to have her there too for his own moral support. My baby was stuck in my pelvis so I ended

Don't hesitate in hiring Emily to be a part of your prenatal and birth team! I was fortunate to receive Emily's care as both a masseuse and doula throughout the third trimester of my pregnancy in late 2016. She has a very thorough knowledge of the pregnant woman's body and a sense of calm that is contagious. Emily helped my husband and me to prepare our detailed birth plan, and when the labor pains started, she was with us every step of the way, from pacing the hallways with me in early labor, to massaging and encouraging when the labor was at its hardest, to holding my hand when

I am a colleague of Emily's. We met massaging together and quickly became friends. Being in the field of both massage and birth services, I can add a different perspective of Emily and her work.
This women is exemplary in her field. She is a gem (and I don't say that because we are friends). She has fantastic skills, she is eager to keep growing and learning and her heart is in the right place.
If you have the opportunity to work with Emily, I would highly recommend it!!

I began seeing Emily when I was about 30 weeks pregnant. She is clearly well educated and experienced in prenatal care. I felt very confident that my body and my growing baby was in good hands when I saw her. My baby came on his own one week early and my recovery has been smooth...I truly believe prenatal sessions with her were a major part of that. I am looking forward to my first postpartum massage with her this week! She even encouraged me to bring my new baby and let him lay with me during the massage. I have been recommending her to all of my pregnant friends!

I met Emily at an event, and immediately found myself drawn to her kind energy. I finally made a massage appointment with her, and was not disappointed! She is thoughtful and thorough in determining your needs, and is extremely knowledgeable. Every time I walk out of my massage with her, I stand taller, as she's been able to work my back like no one ever has. I highly recommend Emily, and can't wait for my next massage with her.
