What clients are saying
“Receiving prenatal care in my own home was luxurious! A few highlights from in-home prenatal care included: having blood drawn for labs from the comfort of my own couch, doing my own swab for GBS testing, not having to schedule childcare for my older daughter, and always the centering meditations and unhurried conversations with Elizabeth.”
— Maddie
“What makes her standout to me is that she truly cares about each woman's right to have the birth she desires. I personally felt that she was genuinely concerned and committed to my person, my pregnancy and the birth of my daughter.”
