“The Complete Guide to Freebirth changed everything. Not just my understanding of birth - but of life, and what it means to be a woman.”

 Johanna, France

Hi, I'm Emilee, the Founder of Free Birth Society.

I’m on a mission to change the world of birth—one motherbaby at a time.

As a mother of three, freebirth mentor, entrepreneur, and women’s elevation coach, I’ve dedicated my life to revolutionizing birth culture. After witnessing the deep fractures that occur when women give birth within the medical system, I took it upon myself to lead the freebirth movement, reshaping how we experience birth for generations to come.

With over two decades of hands-on experience in birth-work, I’ve had the privilege of supporting thousands of births. I know, without a doubt, that sovereign birth is a transformative journey that can change a woman’s life in the most profound ways.

"I can’t say enough about how invaluable the CGTF course was for me! I took this course during my second pregnancy after my first was a typical hospital birth and I knew I wanted something different but was lost on how to make it happpen.

As a result I was able to have the freebirth I wanted at home with just my husband and I. It was peaceful, and beautiful! The course is absolutely informative for sure but more importantly it was reassuring, encouraging and comforting! It gave me the confidence that I could handle anything that came my way. And reminded my how powerful my intuition as a mother was.

The information in the course is delivered in a tone that treats you like an actual adult which for me is in sharp contrast to the way most information about birth or health in general is shared. I went from pretty clueless about the details of birth (despite already having birthed before ) to feeling like I fully understood birth.

Before the course birth was a scary mysterious thing, after the course it became something I felt was set up for success and was proud of how well my body was created! It also made my husband feel confident as well which was so helpful! I can’t recommend it enough, even if you’re on the fence about what you want for your birth at least this course will teach you how beautifully your body is designed to do this incredible thing, that in itself is worth the price of admission."

"Ever since joining FBS, I have been shown love and support from inspirational, strong, and powerful women. Emilee has started a true community of women supporting women. I no longer feel alone in my parenting and birth choices, but instead embraced by others living their truth and birthing in their power.

I have gained friendships, sisters, knowledge, connection and community. My first freebirth will be around June and I’m so excited to share my experience and my story with women who truly appreciate and love birth as much as I do!

Being a part of this membership turned out to be more than I could have hoped for. I am honored to be here and so thankful for each and every one of the beautiful women I have had the chance to connect with.Thank you Emilee."

"I want to deeply thank the private membership community for all the wisdom and shared experiences. Reading you all gave me so much confidence and knowledge for my own birth four months ago, at home, in my sacred peaceful space.

I would resource to all the conversations stored here for any doubts or questions I had and you all guided me through the best path and decisions I could ever have taken to have my baby. I owe this universe of women so much, so THANK YOU from deep within Emilee & FBS."

"I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you do–I had planned for a home birth, longed for a free birth, and my baby girl gifted me with just that–undisturbed, uninterrupted, just us. It was magic. Having listened to all of your women, over and over again throughout my pregnancies really opened me up to deep trust and complete surrender. Thank you, thank you, thank you."
