Elise was amazing! As a new mom she was always prompt to answer my questions as I manuevered my way through pregnancy for the first time. I had initially planned to stay active throughout birth as long as I could manage. After going past due, being induced, and having a long labor that eventually led to an emergent c-section, Elise continued to support me and my husband the entire time. From meeting us at the hopsital - setting up the room - making sure we understood the plan and settled, she was available for whatever we needed. As a healthcare provider she new I was trying to go in open minded, and as the plan continued to change and evolve throughout my labor, she continually cheered us along and help us adapt.
Even after delivery she has continued to check in on my new family and see how we are doing, as well as make a few suggestions to help me successfully breastfeed, as I was combing breastfeeding, pumping/supplementating for my new little guy to gain some weight!
we thoroughly enjoyedworking with Elise and would recommend her as a doula! she is nonjudgemental, easy to get along with and its clear she cares about her clients and families :) <3 :) <3
