Elsie was a very calming presence during my labor and delivery. She covered for my initial doula who had to attend another birth. We met her in the middle of the night during active labor and she stepped right in to help me with comfort meaures and help my husband participate as well. We used different positions on the floor and bed with counter-pressure, as well as hydrotherapy in a tub. Elsie suggested labor positions while cueing into my needs to help me find the best ways to cope. Her words and actions were very calming and encouraging, which helped me progress through labor without using pain medication. I'm so glad Elsie was a part of my baby's labor and birth.
