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 […]

Batya’s Birth, Feb 2016
Elaine is the ideal doula! We cannot recommend her enough. She provided support and strength in every way, she was calm and able to tune into my needs and helped me articulate them- which was particularly necessary in a hospital setting. She worked so well with my doctor and the nurses at the hospital– who […]
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 […]
Breastfeeding as a Communal Event
photo by Leah Harms Photography I’m going to admit something here: last week I engaged on the internet with a man that simply couldn’t understand why mother’s “now-a-days” had to breastfeed in public. His claim was that breastfeeding is an intimate experience that should be shared between only the mother and the infant and that […]
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 […]

The Birth of Rowan & Samson
By Allison KG You were an excellent source of information as we prepared to bring our boys into the world. After finding out we were expecting twins and that the birth experience would be much more medical than we had originally hoped for, being able to navigate all of it alongside you was incredibly empowering. […]
Baby Will’s Birth & Postpartum
By Melanie C I wasn’t sure what specifically I wanted from my doula when I first contacted Elaine but I knew I wanted my labor, delivery and postpartum recovery to go differently than it had with my first son. I couldn’t put into words what I needed from Elaine but somehow she just knew. The […]
Hopes and Dreams for a Birthy 2015
2015 is looking like a veritable baby boom all over town. I’m feeling the good birthy vibes tingling down to my toes thinking about the wonderful families who have asked me to join them on this journey. I’ve eased back into this work after my maternity leave in 2014, taking only one family per month […]
Sean’s Birth, Sept 2013
by Ellen Essex I am a first time mom and didn’t know what to expect about labor/birth. A friend recommended Elaine as a doula, and I thought I probably wanted a natural childbirth, so I decided a doula would be a good idea. Even though I wanted a natural childbirth, I was open to the […]
