We had the pleasure of working with Elise for the birth of our first child. As new parents, we were nervous about what to expect and we wanted to ensure support from someone we knew, trusted, and had discussed our birth wishes with.
Overall, our birthing experience was great and a lot of that was due to Elise! She was diligent, knowledgeable, compassionate, and proactive. She made us feel cared for and supported throughout the entire process. Virginia preferred to have a natural birth and Elise arrived with a bag of supplies, suggested position after position, helped Michael to be the best supportive partner he could be, gave words of encouragement, and helped advocate on our behalf to help us achieve that goal. We would absolutely recommend Elise to anyone considering a doula. Not only was she a positive presence before and during the birth of our daugher, but she also told us that she will always be our doula. She has checked in on us multiple times since the birth and has answered all of our (probably silly) postpartum questions. It is wonderful to know that she is always there for us.
