About Elizabeth
My passion for birth began the day I learned I was pregnant with my first. I learned all that I could, determined to have a natural birth experience. 24- hours into labor I opted for an epidural. I stand by my decision, but wanted a natural birth even more with my second. After countless more hours of training and research, I felt prepared and confident. I gave birth to my second, naturally, without pain, and in 3 hours from start to finish.
​
Six months later I was attending my sister's VBAC
birth as her doula and knew this was the job for me.
I believe that women are made to birth. I would be honored to guide you through your birth and help you feel mindful, calm, and empowered.
​
​
As a doula, it is my job to give full and unwavering physical, emotional, and spiritual support. Whatever your birth plan looks like, I believe you hold the power within you to succeed.

Digest with a doula is a time to meet with me in person or virtually to talk about whatever you need to talk about. I have found that it is hard to discuss difficult topics surrounding pregnancy/birth without harmful or unhelpful feed back from others. So weather you want to talk about how uncomfortable you are, fears about birth, or want to digest a previous birth, I am here for you. I come as a birth professional without judgment to be a supporter of your feelings.
