Norah’s Birth, May 2016
by Alicia H So it took me a while to finally getting around to write this. Not because of busy mom-life, but because every time I start I get all choked up. The birth of our daughter was very important to me. From making sure we had the right medical professionals down to being able […]
Quinn’s Birth, Aug 2017
by Cassie G Upon first meeting Elaine for coffee with my husband, we both knew that she was the right fit to join our birth team. She is super knowledgeable, seems to know everyone in the Columbus birthing community and has a very calming presence, plus a great sense of humor – two traits that […]

Julie’s postpartum, Feb 2016
by Julie R Elaine was a fantastic postpartum doula. She helped us after the birth of our second child, who arrived only 18 months after our first. At the time, I felt like I was already caring for a “baby” with our 18 month old, and I had no idea how to balance nursing a […]
