??We hired Eli as our birth and postpartum doula, and she was excellent in both roles. Before the birth, she took the time to get to know us and taught us about labor and the decisions we’d be faced with. She’s a wonderful listener: perceptive, empathetic, and easygoing, with a great sense of humor that made it easy to share such an intimate experience (and our home) with her.

Eli was also a great communicator, answering texts promptly and sharing helpful resources. When my water broke at home, she walked me through what to expect, then met us in triage and helped set up our hospital room with affirmation cards and comforting personal items. During labor, she was supportive both emotionally and physically and advocated for my preferences. I never felt judged or pressured.
??After the birth, we hired Eli for postpartum support, and it was invaluable. She offered fresh eyes on our routine, practical help with soothing and bathing the baby, and tips for managing fatigue. She also pitched in around the house without being asked, folding laundry, preparing herbal baths for me, and caring the baby so we could rest.
??As first-time parents without family nearby, we were so grateful for her support. We highly recommend Eli!
