I'M NOT JUST A COACH - I'M A DOULA, TOO.
I’m Emily Kelly, founder of East Raleigh Doula Co. and Your Doula Coach. I’ve supported hundreds of birthing families and mentored dozens of new doulas on their path to professional growth.
I’ve made the mistakes, tested the strategies, and built a business that’s both heart-led and sustainable.
Now I’m here to help you do the same—without the trial and error.

hello,
I am the founder and CEO of East Raleigh Doula Company, one of the top doula agencies in Raleigh, NC. I am also the founder and CEO of Triangle Birth Haven, a non-profit doula agency dedicated to serving mothers in low-income situations, women leaving domestic violence scenarios, teen moms, and more. ​
My passion for birth was founded from my own birth experiences; from one disempowering, high intervention, minimally educated birth to an incredible, empowering, physiological birth - I discovered my passion for helping women be equipped, informed and confident about their choices in pregnancy, birth and postpartum.
​​
In 2017, I began attending births for friends. In 2019, I decided that this is what I wanted to do for a living and became a trained and certified doula. After dabbling in the professional world of doula-ing for about a year, I decided I was to launch East Raleigh Doula Company at the end of 2020. At that time, my friend/doula and I worked together to make this dream come to fruition. Over the course of 5+ years, ERDC went from 2 birth doulas to 20+ doula agency providing birth support, postpartum support, fitness & recovery, placenta encapsulation, birth & postpartum education, infant feeding support and more.
​
In developing doulas on my team, I learned that I have a passion for training, empowering, and equipping DOULAS to carry on the vision of supporting women. That is why I am here, with you, now. I am here to help equip you to provide high quality doula support that helps educate, empower and equip moms to have positive birth and postpartum experiences.
​
Are you ready?

Let's doula this,

Emily
