Relevant volunteer or advocacy work

Since 2009, I have regularly assisted new moms, experienced moms, teen moms, and single moms as they welcomed a new baby. Volunteering and working as a doula during these years, I enjoyed sharing my experience and coming alongside these women. I'm certified by DONA International as a Birth Doula and a Postpartum Doula, and a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional through Postpartum Support International (PSI). Writing on the challenges women may face during the postpartum weeks, I've also been published on websites, blogs, and in magazines. I have spent many hours over the years volunteering my time to educate women in my community as well as through non-profit ministries and outreaches. I currently serve on the PSI Arkansas board to help connect women with providers and resources to help with mental health services, parenting support, and more. I offer a no-obligation consultation.

Elizabeth is a true treasure. She exudes a motherly gentleness and peace as soon as she enters a room. Even on the phone you can sense her compassion and love as she comfortably and confidently eases the brave and beautiful birthing process. Because of Elizabeth, I was able to labor a lot longer at home feeling safe and secure as I awaited the arrival of my baby girl. Her encouraging and empowering words made my experience one of joy and strength in the abilities we have as women to bring life into the world. I am forever grateful for Elizabeth's love and support.

I highly recommend Elizabeth as a doula and wouldn't think of using anyone else for any future pregnancies! She is a compassionate person who is knowledgeable, experienced, and has a calming demeanor. As first-time parents, she put us at ease. When she walked into the delivery room, we were both grateful to see her. 

Even before the big day, Elizabeth checked in on us often to keep up to date with how the pregnancy was progressing. She provided us with resources and suggestions - but also listened carefully to our desires and concerns. After the birth, she visited us and answered our questions. She is worth her weight in gold and I will never stop singing her praises.

My husband was skeptical of using a doula but now says it was the best decision we made throughout the process. You will be so glad you chose Elizabeth for this special time.

We hired Elizabeth as a postpartum doula, as we don't have any family near. And had her come over once a week for the first few weeks.

She was an amazing help with navigating the early days of being parents. She was very kind and caring toward our daughter and to my wife who had some issues with engorgement during breastfeeding. She really went above and beyond to make sure we were doing well, and it all felt very sincere.

I would absolutely recommend her to any new parents!

Having Elizabeth as my doula added so many wonderful things to my first birth experience. She was so supportive of my decision to have a natural birth but made it very clear that whatever I chose she would support me. For a while, I thought I would not be able to endure a natural birth and was worried it would not happen in the end. She encouraged me that I could do it (because I really wanted to), but never pressured me into it. I felt safe with her, knowing she would be there to help me and my husband through something we had never done together before. As an FTM I was often sending her questions about all the birth things, and she was quick to help me make informed decisions about my birth plan and pregnancy. She was a wealth of information, sending me information on anything I asked her about and asking her mentors if she needed a second opinion about anything. During labor she was amazing. She came with everything I ever needed to help me through labor: oils, massage balls, etc. Having her there helped my husband and I enjoy my birth process together, knowing we always had extra help and someone there who knew what they were doing. She was great at suggesting different positions during labor, helped keep me relaxed when contractions would get intense, and even helped me avoid a possible cesarian by working with the nurses to get me into a position to help turn my baby who was transverse while I was 9cm. During Postpartum she was so emotionally supportive and really helped my process some things about my birth that I thought I "failed at". She helped me see that I did nothing wrong and everything went how it was supposed to be. I would recommend Elizabeth to anyone in the NWA area looking for a doula.

Elizabeth provided PP doula care for the arrival of my 3rd child. This was my 3rd c-section, and from experience, I know that having someone in your corner really matters during the recovery phase! 

Elizabeth had my home lovely and ready for me. We had food, flowers, and even granola bars for quick eating. I reached the point in my recovery where I was exhausted and unsure of myself. I remember calling Elizabeth over, and she gave me the reassurance I needed. I knew she had the years of experience to speak with confidence on the matter, so I trusted her sound mind instead of my own.

Elizabeth has a wonderful calming demeanor and has a true love for motherhood and babies.
