Elizabeth was so sweet and caring to us. She brought us all kinds of supplies and made our labor room so cozy and relaxing. She also took amazing photos of the whole labor process (at our request) that we will cherish forever. I also appreciated the check-ins that she sent starting days before entering labor and after. 10/10 would recommend!

Elizabeth was our doula in the birth of our second child. Her support and knowledge were invaluable and I was so thankful to have her as a part of my home birth team. We ended up transferring to the hospital, and she stood right along beside my husband and I every step of the way. Elizabeth is spectacular in her work as a doula and I cannot recommend her more highly! ☺️

I had a wonderful experience with Elizabeth as my doula! This was my first baby and she made me feel very comfortable. Before our first meeting I didn’t even realize that I needed a birth plan, but once the day actually arrived I felt prepared and excited to meet my little one. At the hospital she was incredibly supportive and communicated our plan with the hospital staff. I’m so thankful that we decided to hire Elizabeth and I would highly recommend her services!

Elizabeth was exactly what my husband and I needed to navigate our first pregnancy - warm, knowledgeable, steady, and a true advocate for our family and our desires in the birth process.
I cannot speak more highly of Elizabeth and her compassion and care for me during a hard labor process. Even in the midst of nothing going as planned, she provided solid support, professional insight, and authentic friendship that made me feel comforted to trust and rely on her.
Her package also provided educational resources/classes and photography during labor and birthing! Paired with multiple consultations, birth plan creation, and consistent check ins, Elizabeth’s services cannot be beat!
If you’re debating hiring a doula for your birthing process, you cannot go wrong with choosing Elizabeth!- Emily G.

The days leading up to labor, and even the night I went into labor (around 1:30am, sorry girl😂) she was very communicative and responsive! As I approached transition, she along with my partner kept my head in the game even though I started begging for interventions I was adamant I didn’t want. Within 30-45 minutes my baby girl was born! One of the perks of working with Elizabeth is she is also an AMAZING photographer! I never thought I would have L&D photos, but thanks to her I have a photo gallery that I will cherish for forever!

I had the most beautiful unmedicated birth experience and I truly would not have been able to do it without Elizabeth as my doula. She met me at the hospital the moment I called her and was there through every contraction. She kept me grounded through labor with reminding me to breathe, the use of combs and was there as a source of encouragement when I started to feel like I couldn’t do it.
My husband and I both agree that her presence was comforting and made us both feel safe during such an intense time. I would highly recommend her to anyone, she was a wonderful addition to our birth team!

I am a local midwife, and have seen Elizabeth at work a number of times. The way she cares for her clients is really special. She is attentive, proactive, and knows how to read a room. Need to lighten the mood with a laugh? She’s got you. Need to feel all of the feelings in the moment? She’s there.
She prepares folks for the intensity, wonder, and mystery that birth is and how to navigate whatever your particular story will hold. Super thankful to have her as a resource in our community!

I was in need of a doula unexpectedly in my third trimester and Elizabeth very quickly was able to accommodate me. She provided great resources and encouragement in the last several weeks of my pregnancy and ultimately was the best support during labor and delivery. My birth experience did not go the way I had planned, but Elizabeth was there with me every step of the way with her encouragement, advocacy and support.
We also used her photography services and her pictures were phenomenal! I highly recommend!
