Join Sheila and special guest this week Emily Knell Spaeth, PT, DPT, IBCLC, LMT, NTMTC, CNT, RPYT as they cover all things related to the NICU. Dr. Emily Spaeth is an expert in all things pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and babies. She is the founder and CEO of Be Well Baby PDX. While supporting families as a doctor of physical therapy in the neonatal ICU, Emily saw a deep societal need for a more holistic approach to peripartum care, and decided to blend her background in yoga, massage, and lactation support with her expertise in physical therapy to create a full spectrum peripartum experience for her clients. 

Emily offers a range of continuing education courses for professionals on the Lactation OT platform.  Additionally, her website offers an array of courses covering topics that help parents understand their baby's cues, infant massage techniques, newborn care essentials, and more.
