Enrollment Coach
Hali has worked as a doula, lactation consultant and women's functional medicine health coach since 2009. She has also worked with several postpartum health tech companies over the past 6 years. In her work as an IBCLC and coach, she focuses on a whole person approach understanding that wellness involves many facets.

Hi! I’m Emma. I’m a mom of two, fueled by Dr. Pepper and a mega sweet tooth. My interests are all over the place, which is why I love being an executive assistant for New Little Life! I get to write, create, analyze and try tons of different things in this corner of the internet. When I’m not chasing my crazy kids, or working with Allison, I love exploring my city of Boston, doing DIY projects, and rewatching Gilmore Girls.
