I began my path as a doula in 2021. Prior to my doula journey, I taught college English and Humanities courses. Although I don’t write or grade essays these days, I find far greater enjoyment in helping my clients write and live out their birth stories. I have been trained as a doula through DONA International and devour every book, podcast, and documentary I can find about birth.

My philosophy is to weave myself into your “village” before, during, and after your birth. Throughout our meetings, I want you and your partner to feel completely comfortable with me and supported by me. By implementing age-old birthing wisdom and newer evidence-based practices, we will be able to give you the birth you deserve and dream of.

June 22, 2023 at 5:11 am | Client reviewMy girl, Elaine! I could type for days about how much we value her. I’ve never experienced doula support until asking her to be ours for our second pregnancy and I know we couldn’t have had anyone better. She’s a gem. Very knowledgeable of pregnancy/birth facts and myths. She’s also extremely good at reassuring your safety and good health in the middle of your concerns. AND, the patience of this woman is unbelievable. I have the tendency to be hyperactive and anxious, but she was soo patient with me during those times. Our family has gained a friend in her. I truly feel that we have been blessed to have her presence in our lives.

August 4, 2023 at 8:17 pm | Client reviewI picked Elaine as my doula when I was only 7 weeks pregnant. I knew going into this pregnancy that I wanted to have a VBAC following my first traumatic birth experience. I met with a few different doulas, but Elaine immediately stood out because she talked to me like I was her friend. I could tell she would be someone I could trust and feel comfortable enough with to have as support during labor.
While I did not have a successful VBAC, my birth was still nothing short of successful and Elaine doesn’t let me forget it. When you a hire a doula, it is not just for you. Secondary birth trauma is real and I knew this time I wanted to have someone my husband could trust in the room too. Elaine was support for my whole family before, during, and after labor. Things were great and then things got scary fast. Elaine answered my questions, held my hand, hugged my mom while she cried, reassured my husband, and affirmed me and my choices all at the same time. She was the rock we all needed and she was somehow able to provide everything to all of us at once. There are not enough words to sum up how thankful we are for her. If you are thinking about hiring a doula, you can not go wrong with her.
