Nice to meet you, I’m Elizabeth
I am a postpartum doula based in South Seattle. I am also a Registered Nurse and IBCLC, and I have been working with growing families for over 20 years. As a doula and a nurse, I believe strongly in the concept of mothering the mother, or in more inclusive language, caring for someone so that they are able to care for others. I believe this is the foundation for strong families and strong communities. As your postpartum doula, my goal is to care for you and your family so you can best care for your newborn.
The early postpartum period is an especially vulnerable time, when having non-judgmental support, resources, and encouragement can help build strength and vitality in a parent-child dyad or a family unit. I offer emotional support, steady guidance, and practical tools to help you through this transformative time
Kind words from clients:
“Elizabeth was caring and present and made, what could have been a very stressful and tense postpartum transition joyful. Elizabeth cared for my newborn and cared for me in a way that made me feel the most supported I’ve ever felt in my life.” -Rosa W.G.
“With Elizabeth, we felt not just cared for, but truly understood and empowered to be more independent as caregivers for a newborn.” -Udaya L
