“Elyse - you magical healing woman! We can’t thank you enough for everything you did for us throughout the pregnancy, birth and postpartum with Luna. The experience helped to heal so many past traumas from our first birth experience. I’m so incredibly happy and grateful to have had you as our Doula!! I donated to mama baby in Haiti, as a tribute to you, and also San Antonio nurse midwife birth center in your name after I saw your post on IG, so your magic can be felt far and wide! So much love, ”
“Elyse was my postpartum doula for my second baby and I can not tell you enough how incredible she is and how grateful we were for her support. She started to support me well before my scheduled cesarean and helped prepare me mentally for the upcoming surgery. She provided me with helpful information on how to best prepare my body and what to expect during and after my cesarean. This eased my anxiety tremendously. Due to COVID-19, she was unable to visit me in the hospital but she made sure to establish a connection with my husband so she could deliver nourishing meals and snacks to me immediately after the surgery. She tailored a special menu to my dietary requirements and continued to deliver meals to our doorstep for 5 weeks after the surgery. Her meals were so incredibly nourishing and it was so relieving to have prepared food that aided in my recovery ready and waiting for me on a regular basis. She made sure to check in to see how I was feeling and was available to do any errands we needed. She also provided solutions and remedies for any complaints I had in regards to pain, breastmilk supply and more. She is a gift to all expecting and new mothers and I will forever be grateful for her support that truly gave me the most enjoyable postpartum experience. I would have her as my doula over and over again.”
