Emily Moody, RN has recently joined the WBWC staff as a full-time labor and delivery nurse.Emily grew up in Lexington, North Carolina.  She graduated with her nursing degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2007.  She started as a medical-surgical nurse, but always knew that supporting and empowering women in labor was her passion.  It was the midwifery delivery of her first child that directed her to move towards women’s health where she has worked in the mother/baby and special care nursery settings.  She traces her fascination with pregnancy and her appreciation for the sacredness surrounding a woman in labor back to various opportunities as a child to see animals go through the beautiful, natural process of birth.  She considers it a privilege and dream to provide sensitive, informed, individualized support to women during the laboring process. Emily lives in Durham with her husband and 2 kids.  In her spare time, she enjoys being with her family, being outdoors, live bluegrass, good conversations, and volunteering with the local refugee community.
