Relevant volunteer or advocacy work

Gain confidence for your birth! I believe in you and support you in making the choices that are best for yourself and your baby while using my experience, trainings, and intuition to provide care that meets your unique needs. Supporting dads to whatever extent they want to be involved in labor and birth is a key part of my role. My practice is founded on the belief that childbirth is a deeply meaningful process designed by God and that it can be a really beautiful experience.

Hiring Elisabeth as our doula for our second hospital birth was the absolute best decision we made. She is calm, comforting, non-judgmental and very knowledgeable. She instinctively knew when and how to offer support to both me and my husband during labor and she is excellent at "reading the room". My husband and I both agree that Elisabeth was the most important factor in being able to have a labor and delivery in the hospital without medical or pain interventions. We highly recommend her!
