“Elyse oozes compassion, wisdom, support and intuition. Everything a mother-to-be and a new mama needs. Elyse was a pillar of strength and grounding for me and was my sister and friend when family was afar. She personalized and placed extra love on everything she shared, made and communicated with me. I will forever be in gratitude of this woman, of this doula and of this angel earth worker. ”
“I had no idea what a doula was until my wife explained the importance of the role and told me about Elyse, and I am so glad she did. She made the birth of our second child so much easier which was important since the birth of our first child, where we did not have a doula, was very difficult and traumatic. While my wife recovered, Elyse delivered meals to our home and provided us with information that aided in her recovery. I kept in contact with her so that my wife could focus on her recovery and I could see the huge difference it made for her. It helped to relieve a lot of pressure on me as I also was caring for our four year old. Thank you so much Elyse ”
Elyse Wilkie
Birth Doula & Postpartum Doula
Ayurvedic Health Counselor.
For Elyse, being raised in rural Southern New England has instilled a deep sense of awe to nature’s beauty and the interconnectedness of the world. This fascination created the passion to continue to learn, experience, and explore the everyday wonders of life.
Ayurveda, ‘The Science of Life,’ was the wisdom Elyse craved to learn how to activate her body’s innate ability to heal. To restore balance and heal her gut of Crohn’s disease; Elyse synched with nature’s rhythm by eating local seasonal foods and nourished her spirit with meditation and outdoor activities. She was humbled by the powerful healing of her mind and body from simple lifestyle adjustments and wishes to spread this natural, ancient knowledge to anyone who is in need of self-healing and self-love.
Elyse is nationally certified as an Ayurvedic Health Practitioner and 200 Hour RYT through the Sacred Stone Academy of Massage and Ayurveda (SAMA) in Newport, Rhode Island.
