Ellie was our postpartum doula for over 10 weeks. Our son spent the first 2 weeks in the NICU, and Ellie was remarkably helpful in supporting us during an emotionally and mentally tolling time. When we were all able to return home, we felt incredibly grateful to have Ellie's help guiding us in her special, gentle way through the ins and outs of baby care. She always offered helpful, comprehensive, and data-backed information that felt non-judgmental to help us make big and small decisions. She spent time guiding me through breastfeeding and pumping; she seemed like a friend in her encouragement and kindness during the process. She was loving and amazing when taking care of our son so that my husband and I could get rest or a break!  Overall, Ellie is an absolute gem and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone looking for postpartum care. We cannot wait for her to become a midwife so that she can deliver our next child!

Your womb would be VERY lucky to know her!

Yes, this is a real quote (: 

-Friend, past colleague and future client

Ellie was a phenomenal doula. Book her now! Before we found her, I confess I thought doulas were only for wealthy people, plus I was already 7-8 months pregnant so I wondered if it would be a sensible investment. But Ellie's packages were so reasonable we purchased one immediately! I tend to be a modest person so I was worried it would be hard to open up to her, but Ellie's kindness and quiet confidence put me at ease immediately during our initial intake. When my contractions started, I was terrified. And then as they picked up speed, I didn't think we could leave the house. But my partner called Ellie and she knew exactly what to do. She talked us through next steps over the phone and then met us at the hospital where she held me while I had a contraction outside the front door and again in the lobby. I have a food allergy so when I needed energy during labor, she found food I could eat. She was my fearless advocate as well as a competent translator for everything the medical staff said. If we're blessed to have another baby, we will absolutely hire Ellie again! I can't imagine going through that experience without her.

Health & Safety

I am fully vaccinated (and boosted) for COVID-19 and I will follow the CDC's guidance should that change. For my safety as well as those I love who are immunocompromised, I strongly prefer to work with clients who are also vaccinated for COVID-19.
