Matilda’s Birth, May 2016
by Allison S Where do I even start? Elaine was our doula and guided my husband, tim, and I through the pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period. Tim and I knew from the beginning that we wanted a doula to help us achieve a natural birth. We contacted Elaine very early on, about 8 weeks pregnant! […]
Eason’s birth, Jan 2016
by Jana F. Sometimes as a doula we are called to step in to a birth for another doula when she must be elsewhere. It’s one of the ways we make sure we have our clients covered no matter what! I’m sharing a few kind words written by a mother that had my support as […]

Baby Will’s Birth & Postpartum

James’ Birth, January 2014
By Betsy Root I am so glad that we chose Elaine to be a part of our birth team. My husband, Tim, and I first looked into having a doula when I decided that I wanted to have an unmedicated delivery. I was confident we could do it, but thought we’d need some extra support and […]
