Hi, I’m Emma Rea


Founder of Soft Landing Postpartum.

It has been the honor of a lifetime to walk alongside families through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum journey for over a decade. As a Licensed Midwife, I spent years serving families in birth centers, home birth practices, and community settings, witnessing firsthand how deeply quality postpartum care impacts a parent’s confidence, wellbeing, and transition into early parenthood.

Through this work, I also came to recognize a profound gap in modern maternity care. While so much attention is placed on pregnancy and birth, families are often left navigating the fourth trimester with far less support than they truly need. My hope is that we can help shift that narrative by creating a culture where mothers are deeply cared for, nourished, and supported during this transformative season.

Over the years, my work has evolved. While I no longer attend births, I feel deeply called to support families in the early days and weeks after baby arrives—offering compassionate care, evidence-based education, practical support, and a steady presence as parents find their footing. My vision for Soft Landing Postpartum is simple: to help every family experience a softer, more supported transition into parenthood.

In addition to my background as a Licensed Midwife and full-spectrum doula, I am a somatic nervous system coach specializing in breathwork and somatic movement. I teach yoga and facilitate ongoing perinatal somatic yoga workshops designed to support women through pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. I am also a BirthFit Coach and passionate advocate for whole-person wellness, honoring the connection between body, mind, and nervous system health.

Above all, my favorite role is being a mama to my daughter. Outside of supporting families, you’ll often find me creating art, spending time in nature, and continuing to learn about the many ways we can cultivate healing, resilience, and connection.

Fun Facts about Emma…

I became a mom as a teenager, and one of my favorite life memories is taking my daughter on an adventure through Europe when she was less than a year. That trip sparked a lifelong love of travel, curiosity, and experiencing the world through her eyes.

Despite years of trying, I still can’t whistle, or roll my R’s. Some talents just weren’t in the cards for me!

I’m a musician at heart. I write, sing, and produce my own music, and one of my original songs is on Spotify.

I’ve attended hundreds of births, but still get emotional every time I witness a family meet their baby for the first time. It never losses it’s magic!
