She hails from New York City and obtained her graduate education at The University of Pennsylvania. She was drawn to midwifery, meaning “with woman,” or “to stand in front of,” because it was a practice rooted in relationship.  Emily believes that what women need, across their lifespans, is someone to walk alongside them—not to tell them what to do. Emily practiced in conventional medicine settings for a decade, and was continually frustrated by the restrictions inherent in insurance-based models of care. Medical providers across the spectrum are burnt out and over extended. She believes we are living in a care and wellness deficit—and that needs to change.  Emily founded Aurelia on the principal that transformational care is built on strong relationships. That begins with long appointments, and is maintained by trust and open communication. Emily is not unlike the women she serves at Aurelia—she’s raising four amazing kids, balancing a career, and prioritizing her health.  She leads at Aurelia by breaking down norms and rejecting the idea that a woman’s worth is derived from her productivity. Emily believes that women can have it all—and it starts with great healthcare, and one woman standing beside another, leading the way.  This Episode’s Sponsors  Enjoy the health benefits of PaleoValley’s products such as their supplements, superfood bars and meat sticks.  Receive 15% off your purchase by heading to paleovalley.com/doctormom  Discover for yourself why Needed is trusted by women’s health practitioners and mamas alike to support optimal pregnancy outcomes.
