Meet Emma Rinaldo

Registered Social Worker, Mom of 2, East Coast lover & Calzone Crusher

Emma is a Registered Social Worker, mom of two, and former primary school teacher, with a
wealth of experience in clinical settings. Having worked at both SickKids Hospital and Women’s College Hospital, Emma’s clinical experience led her to her current work at Bria, a women’s focused mental health provider, and within her own private practice. Emma focuses on individuals and couples navigating acute and chronic health challenges. In addition, she also specializes in supporting clients across the reproductive life stages, including fertility struggles, pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause.

As a mom of two children conceived through IVF, Emma intimately understands the challenges of the postpartum journey—sleepless nights, soothing a fussy baby, adjusting to the physical and emotional changes, and the strain it can place on relationships. Emma recognizes the mental load of caring for a newborn and how it often feels overwhelming, with moments of doubt and fear both intertwined with the joy of parenthood.

Emma takes a proactive approach to supporting her clients. By intervening early Emma works with you to develop a plan to navigate the postpartum period in the healthiest way possible, helping to reduce the risk of parental burnout. Through this process, parents build skills to increase their resilience, acknowledge their strengths, and develop a clear sense of parental values, especially for those tough moments when self-doubt creeps in. Emma is excited to support and work with families through this stage of their parenting with confidence and care.

Hear from our happy families

“We had a wonderful experience with Andria (sleep consultant) and Emma (RSW), with the More Than Sleep+ package. Our LO hit the 4-month regression at 3 months and by the time we decided to sleep train at 4 months + 1 week, we were running on fumes. Not only was our LO properly cared for and monitored through this process, but Andria and Emma took care of our (the parents) mental health along the way. The program provided the perfect about of support and when I panicked a week after our two weeks concluded, Andria was there with tips to quickly rectify the change.

Sleep training is life changing - not only allowing us to be better parents but for our LO’s development. We (including our LO) are all much happier overall and ready to take on each day.”
“If you are hesitating to work with Andria’s team, don’t! They got our baby sleeping through the night and fixed the early morning wakeups. Now we have a great sleep foundation to work with as she keeps growing. I always thought I could figure out the schedule and wake windows myself but I couldn’t; Andria is truly an expert!”
“Andria also recommended a package that included support from Emma, an RSW, which ended up being one of the most invaluable parts of our journey. As first-time parents, working with Emma helped us not only manage the stress of sleep training but also navigate the many emotional and mental challenges of new parenthood. Having a space to talk things through and set clear plans made all the difference.”
