My Journey to Becoming a Doula
Hi, I’m Elise, and I’m the heart behind Seed & Sage Doula Care. My journey into birth support has been deeply personal, shaped by my own experiences as a mother and nurturer. Each of my births was unique, and each taught me something profound. My first two daughters were born in hospital, and my third was a transformative water birth. Experiencing these different journeys allowed me to learn more about control, trust, and the incredible intelligence of the body. Through these births, I discovered my true values and beliefs about birth, and I began to understand the importance of being informed, supported, and empowered. Birth has always been a passion of mine. Even before I considered becoming a doula professionally, I instinctively supported friends and family through their pregnancies and birthing journeys. I found joy in holding space for others, guiding them gently, and helping them feel confident and cared for during such a pivotal moment in their lives. Eventually, I realized that this was more than a passion—it was my calling. Supporting others through birth is not just something I do; it’s who I am. With Seed & Sage Doula Care, I am able to dedicate my skills, knowledge, and heart to helping families experience birth in a way that feels empowering, safe, and deeply respected. Every family is unique, and my goal is to hold space, offer guidance, and support each parent in a way that aligns with their values and desires. Your journey is personal, and I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way, offering calm, wisdom, and care. Birth is a sacred journey, and it would be my honor to support yours.
