She founded Free Birth Society prior to the conscious conception of her first child, and went on to give birth to her daughter freely, on Maui, Hawaii.Emilee’s acclaimed podcast (“The Free Birth Society Podcast”) quickly became a fan favorite and has reached millions of people.The Free Birth Society private membership has become a bastion of birth freedom, truth, and community, in a world in which women’s birth choices are increasingly curtailed.
