Emily Render

Birth & Postpartum Doula

Emily grew up in Maryland, but has lived in Georgia, Missouri and Alabama as well. And we here at Thrive are VERY thankful that she is back in MD helping us support families!

Emily is loved by her clients and has a huge heart for supporting mothers AND their partners. Emily herself, had complications with her first 2 births ( she has 5 children!) leaving her and her husband feeling very scared and out of control.

Because of that, the birth support seed was planted and Emily eventually pursued the dream of becoming a doula. Emily’s main goal for each of her clients is for their desires and needs to be heard. And for every person involved to feel confident, never feel alone, and be 100% supported.

Emily considers it a to be a great gift to be present at the birth of a new life. And she does her job so well!!

Some of Emily’s favorite things are squishy babies, hot coffee, a freshly made bed, root beer floats, the smell of fresh cut grass, the sun on her skin and chocolate covered pretzels.
