Hey yall its your girl Suki! Please check out this very special episode. Have you ever had questions surrounding hiring a doula or becoming one yourself. Meet Emily Smith. Emily has more than 20 years of experience working with women, babies, and families. She has worked 14 years serving families in the greater Washington, DC area as a birth doula, hypnodoula, postpartum doula, childbirth educator, placenta encapsulation specialist, and sibling doula. Her professional training includes DONA International, ProDoula, International Childbirth Educator Association, Spinning Babies, HypnoBabies, and the Institute for the Study of Birth, Breath, and Death. She is a chapter co-leader for the International Cesarean Awareness Network (ICAN) of Northern Virginia and DC. Emily has a B.S. in Anthropology and a concentration in Italian language. Go Noles! One of her biggest challenges as a parent has revolved around being an BFAR mom (breastfeeding after breast reduction), and had to combo feed, with breastmilk, formula, and donor milk. If you peered into Emily's life you'd see her binge watching Netflix with her husband, Jack, and a glass of red wine; spending time with her four children, Elora, Luca, Nico, and Apollo, her cat Patience and dog Chianti; planning a trip to see her family in North Carolina or Pennsylvania; or working with her two doula agencies, Doulas of Capitol Hill and Doulas of Prince George’s County. Emily's favorites in 3's: Coffee, Tiramisu, and Wine; Hiking, Campfires, and National Parks; Netflix, Naps, and NPR podcasts.
