This was my second birth with Elise as my doula and she was as indispensable this time as she was when I was a first time mom. Elise is a calming, radiant, authentic human with a wealth of knowledge about birth and healthcare in Richmond. Elise provided essential support throughout my pregnancy, beginning with the day I found out I was pregnant. She recommended an AMAZING OB and always knew the right questions to ask and issues to raise as a navigated my first AMA pregnancy. Elise's advocacy for me during my induction was a big part of my birth being as calm, exciting, and lighthearted as birthing an enormous baby as an old and exhausted mom can possible be. She supported all my choices and helped me make sure I was informed every step of the way. My husband is also one of Elise's biggest fans, and I know her being at my birth took pressure off him and helped him know what to do and let him enjoy our child's birth. My whole family loves Elise! You should definitely hire her.
