I knew that giving birth would be an intense and intimate experience, and I wanted a doula that I could trust to be fully present with me in my most vulnerable moments. I found this in Elisha. Not only did I feel completely comfortable expressing myself to her, but she really took the time to listen to the heart of me and what I desired for this birth. My labor/delivery ended up being a 22 hour marathon, and the battle of my lifetime (to say the least). Elisha was there with me through it all. Although my memory of the birth itself is a bit blurry, I can clearly recall Elisha’s loving presence by my side, providing me with non-stop counter pressure during contractions, massage, sips of water, essential oils and much needed encouragement. To put it simply, Elisha was wherever I needed her to be in any given moment, INTUITIVELY, and I can’t imagine my birth story without her. She was a gift to me before, during, and after the birth of my son. Thank you, Elisha, for helping me to bring my first baby into this world! - Harmony L.
