About

Emily A. Bronson, MA, MPH, LCCE, CD(DONA), CLC

I am a trained and certified birth doula, a certified childbirth educator, and a certified lactation counselor. I've worked with families since 2010 and I am passionate about birth and breastfeeding.

I believe birth is normal and natural, and that through education and support, women are able to make informed decisions that are best for their body, their birth and their baby.

I know that birth can be an empowering, transformative occasion for a woman; one that she will remember always. It is my goal that every woman achieve her ideal birth experience.

My degrees are in anthropology and public health, and I work in maternal and child health quality improvement. I spend my free time keeping up with the latest research in birth, breastfeeding, and evidence-based maternity care.

Hopes

I hope that you learn enough about birth, and your choices and rights in birth, to make educated decisions and know what your priorities and values are.

I hope you know that you have many options and variations in terms of maternity care, and that you can question your care provider.

I hope that you are never frightened of birth, and I hope that I can help bring you serenity.

I hope that you will feel supported in whatever choices you need to make for your health and your baby's health, mental and physical.

I hope that you will feel happy and at peace with whatever happens at your birth.

I hope I can help you process your feelings and find any information and resources you require.
