Meet the Midwife!

Hi! I’m Emily Neiman. I use she/her pronouns. I’ve been a certified nurse-midwife (CNM) and educator for the past 15 years. My teaching style is based in a trauma-informed framework, and I put an emphasis on inclusive, evidence-based information. Our current healthcare system is not designed to support holistic or personalized care. I want to change that by offering the education you need to navigate the system.

I’ve had experience in all types of care settings, from the office to hospital birth to a freestanding birth center. I’ve been fortunate to attend the births of over 1,000 babies - and have been able to take care of many more women and families for their gynecologic care, labor, and in the postpartum period.

I’ve also taught hundreds of families about fertility awareness, optimizing preconception health, labor and birth, the postpartum adjustment, infant care, and perinatal mental health.

I want to give you the time and information that you deserve for your reproductive health.

Flourish (n): a period of thriving

I created Flourish Midwifery Care because after years working in the healthcare system, I saw a need for a different kind of care. One that provides more individualized care. One that allows you to truly learn about all of your options and the evidence behind them. And one that WANTS you to ask questions!

Providing holistic care and education that addresses your reproductive goals.

I would love to meet you!

Feeling overwhelmed about pregnancy and birth?

Take a birth class with me, meet with me to plan your ideal birth, or have your own “concierge midwife” to answer all of the questions your provider doesn’t have time to! You can benefit from the midwifery model of care, even if your own provider is not a midwife! This is educational only!

Wanting to build a family but don’t know when you’re ovulating? (Hint: a period tracking app won’t tell you!)

I can teach you the Fertility Awareness Model and help you pinpoint when you ovulate for the best chances of pregnancy each month. We can discuss ways to optimize your and your partner’s fertility.
