By Kristin E As first time parents, my husband and I wanted someone who could help educate and guide us through pregnancy to birth; Elaine did just that, plus more. She was always available when we had a question or a concern. She helped us prepare for the kind of birth we wanted to have […]

Finn’s Birth Jan 2017
by Brittany Elaine is very knowledgeable and attentive. She thought of several things (that I wouldn’t have) that helped me before and during labor. We had some complications during delivery and I’m very glad she was present. The hospital staff kept us guessing but she knew what to expect and let us know along the […]
Jameson’s, Oct 2016
by Sarah K. Elaine was an integral member of my birth team. Her presence immediately set me at ease. I knew that I could count on her as I gave in to the rhythm of labor. She was able to support my husband, help to communicate with my midwives when I could not, and she […]
Isaac’s Birth, Oct 2015
By Ashley W. Elaine was such a wonderful support to my husband and I prior to, during, and after the birth of our son. As first time parents we had a lot of questions during our meetings before giving birth. Elaine helped ease our minds and normalize our fears. She provided great education and activities […]
Marian Elaine’s Birth, Sept 2015
by Sarah S. Elaine was amazing! I felt fully supported and prepared to try for my natural birth! This birth was so much different from my first, and I wish I would have known about doulas my first time in labor. Elaine not only supported me, but she taught my husband how to support me […]

His claim was that breastfeeding is an intimate experience that should be shared between only the mother and the infant and that […]

Here is a review I received at a recent birth: by Amy M, Grant Hospital Elaine was great! Truly worked as a collaborative partner to help provide care for […]
Danica’s Birth, June 2015
by Laura M Elaine from Columbus Birth Arts was our doula and she did an excellent job! She was there to help prepare us for the birth of our first baby. She did a few pre-birth meetings with us that really helped prepare us for what labor and delivery are like. Then she was there […]
Harrison’s Birth, June 2015
by Krisin M. Elaine is a compassionate and knowledgeable doula and, honestly, become one of our pals! She always came prepared with lots of material and backed-up everything she said with data. She never had an agenda other than making sure we got the care and support we wanted. We had a ‘plan’ but we […]
Theo’s birth, part 2, May 2015
by Tessa J Elaine was amazing! I was very nervous about trying to have an unmedicated, natural childbirth, but was able to do it with Elaine’s wonderful support and encouragement. When you are in labor, you quickly forget all of the information you learned in childbirth classes and the books you’ve read to prepare. Having […]
