We met Elyse on the day I was induced as our primary birth doula, Allie Blanchard, was at another birth and Elyse subbed in! Elyse immediately put us at ease and had a calming effect when I first met her. She provided helpful guidance and support throughout the induction and laboring process, but was not pushy or judgemental when it came to decision making (e.g., when I chose to get an epidural; when I chose to get a c-section after laboring for hours without progress). Elyse helped me move after I got the epidural for optimal positioning. She also was incredibly supportive when I was laboring with providing counter pressure, massage, comfort, holding my hand ??). I would highly recommend Elyse with my whole heart to support your birth!
