My husband and I decided to seek out a doula when we found out we were expecting. At the time we did not have a full understanding of the many benefits of working with a doula, but we knew we needed someone there to help us advocate for the birth experience we wanted, not that we even knew what that was exactly. We met with a few doulas, but Elise stood out to us. We felt she would help guide and support us through the delivery that was right for us. Not only did Elise do exactly that, but she was extremely helpful throughout my pregnancy. She knew I was a bit nervous about the whole experience and offered resources that were a good fit for me, allowing me to become more informed at my own pace. During labor, Elise offered helpful suggestions and helped to keep me calm. I can't imagine having done it without her. Elise checked in with us a few times after our daughter was born to make sure we were all doing well. She even offered helpful suggestions to address nursing challenges. We are so glad we had Elise by our side during my pregnancy, labor, and delivery, as well as the weeks after. We would highly recommend Elise, and certainly would love her help down the road with our second baby.
