Hi there! I’m Emmabele, the founder of Compassionate Beginnings. I am a full spectrum doula and newborn care specialist dedicated to supporting families during one of the most meaningful transitions in life- welcoming a new baby.

My passion is to help parents feel confident, supported, and well-prepared from pregnancy to postpartum. I provide compassionate, evidence-based care while creating a calm and nurturing environment for both parents and their baby. Whether it’s assisting with overnight care, newborn education, feeding support, or simply offering reassurance during those early days, my goal is to make this season feel more manageable and enjoyable for your family.

I believe every family deserves a gentle and supported start. It is truly an honor to walk alongside parents as they adjust to life with their newest little one.

I have 10+ years of experience working with children ages 0-5 through positions as a daycare teacher, private nanny, and pediatric CNA. I’m SIDS and CPR/First Aid certified, so you and your child will always be in safe hands with me. I have my associates degree in early childhood education, with my bachelors in the field expected to be completed in 2026. My birth and postpartum doula courses were completed through DONA international in 2023. My newborn care specialist course was completed through newborn IQ in 2023 as well!
