Elli is a disciplined and skilful doula, and an incredibly gentle and thoughtful person. My husband and I already had experience with both night and day doulas, so we had very high expectations. Elli completely surpassed them. She is intelligent and creative in her approach - this was really important to us because we had a difficult time with our infant due to several health-related issues. She was so patient and loving that we often looked forward to seeing her after a long weekend alone with our baby. She truly became a big part of our family and we miss her dearly.
Finding the right doula for your family is a very personal process. If you value sincerity and integrity, Elli is the perfect doula for you. She is also an excellent communicator. It's important to her to have open and honest communication with both parents, as well as to set realistic goals based on the expected developmental milestones of your baby. A true professional, Elli is always looking for ways to improve her understanding and knowledge of early childhood development though her network, classes, and conferences. She will often have up-to-date information about recent health trends, lactation, and sleep-training that may not necessarily be widely available.
We will absolutely hire Elli for our next child (whenever that will be!). Above all, she has been a dependable, kind, and knowledgable doula (and friend). We can't wait to work together again!
