Emily Varnam is in the process of finishing her Certified Professional Midwife credential. She has attended births for over 10 years and in 2023 had a midwife-attended home birth.
She is also experienced in the tech start up world as a content strategist and UX researcher. Emily has worked for global brands like Nike and MAS holdings and successful startups in the women’s health arena such as Poppy Seed Health, Eli Health, Willow and Origin Physical therapy.
In 2016 she co-founded a project called The Fifth Vital Sign which was featured in Vogue, Periods Gone Public and Everything Below The Waist. This education based project toured 43 US states teaching classes about the menstrual cycle, anatomy, self advocacy and body literacy.
As the content lead at Astercare she is excited to bring the same care and consideration that she has been lucky to provide to hundreds of families, to uplift other reproductive health professionals.
Knowing intimately the long hours and precarious nature of being an on- call business owner/ birth worker motivates her to be part of the supportive foundation Aster has built as an integrated, doctor and midwife designed EMR.
