I offer full spectrum doula services starting during your pregnancy, through labor and delivery and into postpartum. During prenatal visits I will help you and your family create a birth plan that feel approachable and exciting. I will offer recourses for building the best team of providers and support people. I will also offer exercises and coaching to help prepare your body and your baby for a smooth labor with as little pain as possible. I have training in spinning babies, rebozo techniques, nutritional coaching, prenatal yoga and more. I also have extensive knowledge and education on naturopathic, Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine as well as training in contemplative therapies such as dance movement therapy, body talk therapy and Buddhist psychology. Additionally, I am trained in DBT, TBRI and trauma informed approaches. I have supported over 150 families through labor and am particularly passionate about supporting natural unmedicated births. Both prenatally and during labor I offer comfort techniques including massage, acupressure, hypnotherapy and aromatherapy and am skilled in position changing that will help your baby be in the optimal position for delivery. I am also passionate about helping your body prepare for labor so that there is no tearing or excessive bleeding. I believe birth is a natural process and should be treated as such with as little medical intervention as possible. With the right preparation and with support during labor there is no reason for birth to be a scary, overly painful, or medical experience. Birth can be a profoundly life changing and is deeply vulnerable and immensely powerful. I support my families through this pivotal journey helping them achieve the birth they desire while helping them stay relaxed and informed. During the postpartum period I offer lactation support, sleep coaching, nutritional coaching, belly binding and womb healing techniques. It is important for me to build trusting, long lasting relationships with my families. I will always work with my families to accommodate their budgets and their birth goals. I am also in the process of becoming a amedicadi provider and hopefully will be one by the end of February 2025.
Eloise was made to do this work. She is centered, warm, knowledgable, and quick on her feet. She is incredibly present throughout the birthing experience and is especially talented at advocating for the mothers needs/wants. Eloise is a cherished addition to any birthing experience.

I have known Eloise since she was 9 years old. II wish I could say I utilized her as a Doula because she is an amazing being but unfortunately I can't. Eloise has a beautiful presence, both strong and calm. Her empathy and clarity and knowledge and intuitive nature are a gift in this work (and in the world). As a licensed massage therapist working with medically fragile clients for over 40 years, I wholeheartedly recommend Eloise to be a part of any birthing journey.

Eloise is kind, compassionate and empathetic. She connects to people and is able to tell what they need. She has a calm presence that makes any experience feel safer.

Eloise's passion and knowledge pour into what she brings to birth work along with her calm and nurturing energy. Anyone would be luck to have her presence and support in their birth space.

Eloise is kind, smart and incredibly compassionate. She will be a great and key addition to any birth team!

Eloise is a fantastic doula and member of the birthing team. She provides comfort, support and helpful coaching to patients throughout their labor. She makes a difference at every birth she attends. I am grateful to have her on the DH Doula team.
