BIRTH SUPPORT

While Birth Doula work is no longer my primary career focus, I still relish the chance to offer my services when my schedule allows. If what I have shared about myself resonates and you feel aligned with my perspective, please contact me and let me know your due date - it just might work out!

BIRTH

Preparing to give birth is a time filled with questions and choices. As your birth doula, I am a sounding board for you and your growing family. Together we will discuss your hopes for your experience, consider your options, and craft an outline for your birth preferences. We will meet twice prenatally, brainstorm together, making sure you feel connected and supported. I am available throughout your pregnancy for text, email, and phone support as needed. At 38 weeks, your number gets a special, obnoxious, blasting ringtone in my phone and I'm on-call 24 hours, ready when you are!

In labor, my role will be to support balancing the preferences outlined prenatally with the demands of the present moment. In birth, as in life, things rarely go exactly as planned. It's my job to help your birth team work together to honor your preferences, keep you informed, and offer support to you and your family as it grows.

“Liz was an amazing doula. She was warm, calm, and very attentive to my needs when I was in labor. She knew exactly what to do at every moment. She knew when I needed a massage, needed to change position or just needed a hand. I felt very safe and cared for. She was also very encouraging, especially at the toughest moments. I highly recommend Liz for any future moms.
