Our Services: Holistic Support for Women, Mothers, and Families

At emme, we believe healing is not just about treatment; it’s about transformation. That means offering care that sees the full person, not just the symptoms. We offer comprehensive, culturally rooted services designed for women and mothers, especially Black and Brown women, navigating pregnancy, healing, or life transitions. Our goal is to help every woman not only survive but thrive.

All of our offerings are free for our participants and available to residents of Bridgeport and surrounding communities.


Who We Serve:

Pregnant women, new moms, and families

Women who have experienced violence, loss, or displacement

Women facing housing, food, or emotional insecurity

Women seeking culturally aligned healthcare, support, and connection


If this sounds like you or someone you know, we invite you to reach out.

Our licensed doulas provide compassionate, culturally centered support before, during, and after childbirth. We walk alongside pregnant women throughout one of the most sacred and vulnerable experiences of their lives.

Services include:

  • Prenatal education and emotional preparation
  • Birth planning and decision-making support

Our doulas are licensed by the Connecticut Department of Public Health and emme is credentialed with Medicaid, allowing us to bill Husky so that our doula services are free to patients.

Every woman deserves a safe, empowered, and supported birth experience, no matter her income, background, or story.

Group Workshops, Education & Community Circles

Group Workshops, Education & Community Circles

Healing thrives in community. Our group offerings create space for learning, connection, and collective growth. Whether you’re learning a new skill or finding strength in shared experience, our gatherings are designed to empower and uplift.

Topics and offerings include:

  • GED preparation so participants are confident when taking the exam
  • Nutrition and movement practices rooted in cultural traditions
  • Financial literacy and long-term goal setting
  • Reproductive justice education and advocacy skills
  • Mindfulness, identity exploration, and healing through storytelling
  • Self-defense and personal safety training

 These spaces are more than workshops, they are containers for sisterhood, restoration, and the kind of support that helps people see themselves not just surviving, but thriving. At emme, no one heals alone.  Together, we learn, grow, and heal. 

Behavioral Health Services

Behavioral Health Services

Group Workshops, Education & Community Circles

 Mental and emotional wellbeing is just as vital as physical health. We recognize that healing must address the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. Our behavioral health team provides care that is affirming, trauma-informed, and grounded in cultural understanding. We honor each person’s lived experience and meet them with compassion, patience, and respect.

We offer:

  • Individual and group therapy with licensed professionals who understand your context
  • Trauma-informed care and ongoing emotional support tailored to your needs
  • Grief, anxiety, and depression management through practical tools and compassionate listening 
  • Safe spaces to explore identity, motherhood, relationships, and the emotional journey of healing
  • Culturally responsive care that affirms your history, language, and experiences
  • Referrals to psychiatry, case management, and more intensive support when needed
  • Seamless collaboration with our coaches, doulas, and clinic to support full spectrum wellness

Our approach centers trust, safety, and the belief that mental health care should meet you exactly where you are, with no shame, no judgment, and no need to explain what should already be understood. 

Consulting

Behavioral Health Services

Consulting

emme is more than a direct service provider; we are a model. Through consulting, we partner with clinics, healthcare centers, and hospitals across the country to bring our culturally rooted, community-centered approach to maternal health to their own settings.

We do not help others build separate nonprofits. Instead, we support existing institutions in launching small-scale emme-certified pilot programs rooted in our core values of healing, trust, dignity, and cultural care.

Our consulting services include:

  • Step-by-step support in designing an emme-style program tailored to your community
  • Training for doulas, life coaches, and community health workers
  • Guidance on credentialing, Medicaid billing, and regulatory compliance
  • Implementation toolkits for culturally aligned coaching and wraparound care
  • Workshops on trauma-informed practices, Black maternal health equity, and organizational healing
  • Ongoing mentorship and fidelity assessments to maintain emme certification
  • Access to our network of trusted experts and partners

With our consulting, healthcare systems don’t just improve outcomes; they transform relationships, rebuild trust, and reimagine what respectful care looks like.
