Attends hospital births? Some Hospitals Will attend hospital births in NH/MA seacoast area and southern Maine towns. Attends birth center births? All Birth Centers Offering childbirth education and/or doula services at Coastal Family Birth Retreat in Stratham, NH. Will also attend births at North Shore Birth Center, Beverly, MA. Attends home births? No Home Births Due to my active nursing license and the legal "grey" areas thereof, I'm unable to provide home birth doula support at this time. Happy to provide birthing classes and thorough preparation for home birthing families.
Birth doula fee: Not specified Fee details: My fee is ususally payable in two installments, the first half being non-refundable once the agreement is signed. However, flexible payment plans are always available when finances are a concern. The birth class component of doula services may be insurance reimbursable as well. Please ask about payment plans. I'm happy to accomodate.
Client Testimonials for Liz Gaudette
Kyle Soucy
Liz is a wonderful doula. Having her present during the labor and birth of my son was such an amzing gift. She was well-prepared and stayed with us the entire time. She never left my side during a very LONG night of labor. I really felt as if Liz went through every contraction with me. My husband never felt replaced by Liz at all. She helped him to help me more. Liz worked with both of us as a team and I honestly couldn't imagine having another baby without her!
