I am a Birth Doula that is passionate about working with families to help them achieve the birth experience that they are looking for. I provide emotional, physical and educational support during pregnancy, labor and delivery, as well as during the postpartum period.

I am someone who truly listens to what moms want and need. I believe that every future mother should not only be able to have a birth plan but that every birth plan goes as planned. I am a mother of 3. I have had 3 sections but also know what it’s like to have dreams of wanting to have a vbac and not being successful. Just because my birth plan wasn’t successful doesn’t mean yours has to be too.

Hi! My name is Witley Smith! I started my birth doula journey in November of 2024. Ever since I was young I have always loved helping mothers care for their babies. Once I learned about birth doulas I knew that is what I was meant to do! I want to help mamas have a joyous birth experience. I have completed the training for my Birth Doula Certification along with my Lactation Support Certification. I am currently in the process of becoming a DONA International affiliate. I am trained, but I need experience of being the primary Birth Doula in order to complete my application with DONA. I am looking for mamas who are willing to let me serve them, and support them through their beautiful birth. My services will be discounted as I am a new doula looking for experience. I chose the name Serving Dreams Birth Doula Services, because I believe every mother should be served the birth she has always dreamed. No need or want for a mother is too small or frivolous. I want to make my mamas feel comforted, supported, and empowered. My favorite quote that I have learned through my birth doula journey is "You grow the baby you were meant to birth".

She continued to add trainings to help extend her knowledge about the many facets of birth and offer assistance through the postpartum time. Those trainings and workshops include: Acupressure in pregnancy and childbirth, Perinatal Loss and Grief, and Spinning Babies Techniques. Elise believes that education and unbiased support lead to each birthing family feeling empowered and informed when making childbirth decisions. After personally enduring a battle with postpartum depression, she hopes to help her clients feel supported through the entire childbirth experience including the fourth trimester. Through her work as a birth doula and her own experience, she saw her clients have beautiful births, but still struggle with energy and emotions during the postpartum experience. She offers placenta encapsulation as a holistic option to balance hormones, replenish iron, increase prolactin for milk production, and boost energy levels. Outside of the birth world, Elise enjoys cheering for UGA (Go Dawgs!), arranging flowers, reading, retail therapy, and watching Hallmark Christmas movies.
