MEET YOUR DOULA
Founder of Sunshine City Doula
Hi and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Emily, a dedicated Newborn Care Specialist, Postpartum Doula, and Sleep Consultant based in St. Petersburg, proudly serving the Tampa Bay area. With over 8 years of hands-on experience, I’ve supported more than 100 newborns and their families, and I’m passionate about helping you thrive during the early stages of parenthood.
My career began as a nanny, which evolved into a deep commitment to providing expert care and support as a newborn care specialist and postpartum doula. I have extensive experience working with multiples (twins, triplets, and quads), premies, and high-needs infants that require specialized care.
I have also had the privilege of working with intended parents, families welcoming their baby through adoption, high-profile families with fully staffed homes, on newborn care teams, extensive travel with families, and providing 24/7 live-in care. This flexibility has honed my ability to adapt to different family dynamics and needs, ensuring seamless support no matter your situation.
My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, empathy, and a deep appreciation for the individuality of each family. I believe that every family is unique, and there’s no one-size-fits-all solution to parenting. Instead, I work closely with you to understand your goals, values, and preferences, creating personalized care that aligns with your family’s needs. My goal is to empower you with the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions and trust your instincts as a parent.
I’m constantly honing my expertise through ongoing education, staying up-to-date with the latest research and best practices. My commitment to your family’s well-being is unwavering, and I’m here to walk alongside you on this incredible journey.
