I am a Mama of 6 and Elizabeth was our midwife for the births of our last three, sweet baby girls. She gave our family the most beautiful, peaceful, and empowering birth experiences I could have ever imagined.
From the very beginning of each pregnancy, Elizabeth had this incredible ability to make me feel calm, safe, and completely supported. Whenever I had decisions to make, she shared her knowledge and the research for me to read without ever making me feel judged or pressured. She empowered me to make informed choices and I always felt like our safety remained the top priority.
Her quiet confidence and steady presence brought so much peace during my unexpectedly quick labors! During my first labor with Elizabeth, I called right after my water broke to give her the heads up that I may need her sometime that day or night, but she listened to me as I worked through my first contraction and could tell I was further along in my labor than I knew. I was oblivious to the sense of urgency as she headed my way and continued to communicate so well with my husband, helping him feel confident and supported as he supported me until her arrival. Less than 10 minutes after Elizabeth arrived my body relaxed enough to birth our perfect 9lb 7oz baby girl! Because she trusted the birth process and her own skills, I was able to trust myself too. Our 2nd labor came quickly in the middle of night as we welcomed our surprise gender baby! It was truly a fun and enjoyable birth! And our last baby, that completed our family, came almost two weeks late, but Elizabeth never made me feel rushed, she just ensured the safety of our sweet girl as we waited for her to chose a birthday! We welcomed her surrounded by all of my kiddos and some close family members, there was so much love in the room, but after she was born, Elizabeth was there to care for ME. She got me out of tub, into the shower, helped me with my huge pads and after birth cramps. She helped me feel like me again, while everyone else fawned over our new perfect baby girl. I will forever appreciate the time right after my births where Elizabeth focused in on me!
My kiddos all love talking about being there for my home births and can’t wait to have their own home births one day! Elizabeth will forever hold a special place in our family’s story, and I will always be thankful that she was the one who walked alongside us during some of the most meaningful moments of our lives.
