Welcome.

Emily Little PhD

I'm a social impact leader on a mission to change the world. ​

My superpower is the intersection of strategy x research x communications

​

I help innovators turn science into solutions for equitable wellbeing

​

Why me?

I’ve spent the past 10+ years:

📊conducting research that challenges assumptions (PhD in experimental psychology from UCSD)

📘publishing in industry-leading scientific journals (Child Development, Pediatrics, Journal of Affective Disorders, and more)

🌍 living / working / immersing / visiting 30+ countries; studying babies on 4 continents

💧supporting parents on the front lines as a lactation and babywearing educator (CLEC, certified from UCSD, BWI))

🖤 starting Nurturely from the ground up, growing from a group of volunteers dreaming of perinatal equity into a 7-figure institution serving 500+ healthcare professionals annually
