Keely Semler is a health educator, doula, and mentor dedicated to transforming how we care for women and families in their most vulnerable and powerful moments. With a Master’s in Maternal and Child Health from USC’s Keck School of Medicine, her work bridges science and ceremony, combining evidence-based education with deep emotional and relational care.

Keely began her career serving conflict-affected regions through global philanthropic health initiatives, but found her calling in the intimate spaces of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. She has supported hundreds of families across clinical and home settings, always centering autonomy, dignity, and access.

Keely’s teaching is grounded in health literacy, bioethics and preventive care. She approaches caregiving as a personal, collective, and ecological practice, and mentors emerging health educators to help shape a future of care that is informed, embodied, and deeply human.
