About me

HEY YA’Ll!

My name is Emily Stanwyck. I am a mom of three, a wife, a birth doula, a birth doula trainer, and birth educator. I began my journey into the birth world through fitness as a BIRTHFIT Coach and still am a practicing BIRTHFIT Coach. Through my work with moms in the gym, I learned about birth doulas and was instantly curious and felt drawn to this path. I took a doula training course in September of 2014 and my journey into the birth world began and I have never looked back!

I was so lucky to be introduced to the birth world before becoming a mother myself. Learning about the transition into motherhood from the perspective of a maiden was so valuable, I learned so much. Being called into birth work is truly that, a calling. I felt this urge from my heart to be of service to women and mothers from a young age, I just needed education and the tools to help me grow my business into a sustainable model.

I became a mother myself in 2018 and used a midwife for a beautiful and empowered home birth. Since my first son was born, I have had two more wonderful home births and cannot speak more highly to the power of arming yourself with birth education and birth rights before you enter the birth of each of your children. As a doula and educator, this is the foundation of how I support my clients, I make sure they are fully informed of what’s available to them in terms of birth preferences and in terms of informed consent for any intervention she may face.

In the last 10 years I have attended over 60 births and am learning more and more every day and it is my joy and passion to be able to share these learnings and experiences with women who desire to walk this path into the birth world as well!
