Hi, I’m Emma

I’m a queer + nonbinary wife, parent, Certified Lactation Counsellor and Registered Nurse and I used to want to be a midwife to serve as a safe birth worker for my queer family - and then I gave birth myself. And I realised that that career path was absolutely not for me.

BUT I STILL WANTED TO SERVE THE QUEER FAMILIES IN MY COMMUNITY IN SOME WAY, AND THUS THE MILK ROUTE WAS BORN.
