If you are looking for an amazing and supportive doula, I would pick Eleanor. Eleanor came into my journey about half way through. I was a bit hesitant at first because I feel like we didn't have enough time to bond and understand each other. My worries were knocked away the first day we met! She is SO open to everything and very honest. She really helped calm my anxiety and worked through a lot of my thoughts and concerns with me. She has been amazing at communicating through text, call, video call, etc..The day of my induction she came and walked the nurses through my birth plan and helped my significant other with any questions he had. When the birth came she was there as soon as we texted her. She held my hand and reminded me of the things she taught me and my significant other to do to keep calm and worked through through the pain. I ended up having a medicated birth (originally didn't want) and she was still very supportive and helped me work through that. helping me the whole way through and motivating me. 

I wouldn't have had it any other way and i'm so thankful that eleanor was there!!

Working with Eleanor was truly one of the best decisions my wife and I made during the birth of our child. She supported us through an intense 44-hour labor and was nothing short of extraordinary.

From the very beginning, Eleanor struck the perfect balance between providing us with helpful, bite-sized pieces of information and never overwhelming us. She guided us in creating a thoughtful birth plan, and when things didn’t go as expected, she was calm, reassuring, and incredibly knowledgeable about how to handle each challenge.

Her advocacy on our behalf with the medical team was exceptional. She was a steady, confident presence who helped us navigate conversations with everyone—nurses, the surgeon, the anesthesiologist, the midwife—with grace and clarity. Thanks to her, we always felt heard and understood by the medical professionals, even in the most stressful moments.

Throughout the entire process, her care, compassion, and professionalism shone through. She empowered us to make informed decisions and made sure we felt supported every step of the way. We can’t imagine having gone through this experience without her by our side.

If you’re looking for a doula who will go above and beyond to provide exceptional care and advocacy, Eleanor is the one. She is, quite simply, amazing.

We hired Eleanor four days before I went into active labor.  She showed up on time to the birth center were we would be for over 24 hours.  While at the birth center she was thoughful by ensuring both me and my husband were hydrated.  In addition she helped massage my back, help with support me during different positions.  Most importantly she made sure we ate and had food to make it through as we did not pack enough.  She also followed up with the midwives on any questions that we may not have thought of due to us being too tired.   Without Eleanor being there I don't think we would have had such a postive experience at the birth center.

We eventually had to transition to the hospital and Eleanor was right beside us as we did this.  En route to the hospital Eleanor picked up some food for us to ensure we would have something to eat.  Upon arrival to the hospital she was the first to share our birthing plan with the nurses to ensure they knew what we wanted.  She remained encouraging and uplifting through the process.  She helped to capture precious moments of the birth as well by taking pictures and videos to record the event. 

All in all hiring Eleanor was the right choice.  She brought a sense of calm and tranquility to a long and painful birthing process.  She ensured that both my husband and I took care of ourselves as well by eating, taking mental breaks, etc.  If we had to do it again we'd chose Eleanor as our doula again and again.
