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

Our experienced community health workers serve as guides and trusted partners on your path forward. Through personalized one-on-one coaching, they help you define your goals and create real, achievable easy-to-follow life plans for your future.
Services include:
Life coaching at emme is not about fixing you; it’s about honoring your power and walking with you as you step into your next chapter. Our CHWs offer an expert hand while keeping you in charge in the driving seat.
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:
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.
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:
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.
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:
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.
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:
With our consulting, healthcare systems don’t just improve outcomes; they transform relationships, rebuild trust, and reimagine what respectful care looks like.
The following services are part of our vision for the future and will be housed within the emme Safe Haven which is our dream facility designed to bring healing, safety, and stability under one roof. These offerings will launch as soon as we raise the funds to build and open this space in Bridgeport.
We envision a safe, supportive, and dignified space for women and mothers who have experienced abuse, neglect, or housing instability. The emme Safe Haven will provide more than shelter; it will offer a place to recover, rebuild, and feel at home.
Planned services include:
This will be a sanctuary for rest, renewal, and new beginnings.
To support the women we serve and their children, our Safe Haven will also include an on-site daycare and preschool that centers early childhood joy and learning.
Planned offerings include:
We believe childcare should be safe, joyful, and built on love, not stress.
Our Safe Haven will also house the emme Clinic, where families can receive high-quality, respectful, and culturally informed medical care in one place.
Planned services include:
Our clinic will make care more accessible, more human, and more healing for everyone who walks through our doors.
