Personal Information

My husband, Dr. Ben Shier, and I live in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin.  I typically spend about 4 days per week in Madison, for my work as a childbirth educator and doula.

My husband is a chiropractor at Shier Family Clinic in Beaver Dam and we are dedicated to a holistic lifestyle, a practice that we are convinced had a major role in the very healthy pregnancies, births, and early childhood of our own babes.

 

 

My name is Emily and I have supported many amazing women through the birth process. Birth is a sacred phenomenon that should be preserved and protected for every woman. I want to help you and your partner focus on the essence of your experience, freeing your mind and body of unnecessary anxiety that might otherwise cloud your environment. I emphasize that this is all your experience; I am the quiet voice right behind you, the calm hands supporting you, but never an influence casting a shadow over you, your partner, or your baby.

I want to encourage you with the decisions you make, without judgment. I consider it the highest honor to help you achieve the miraculous birth you are dreaming of!
