Beacon Birth

Elizabeth is a surprise gem, I feel extremely lucky to have found her, working with her was the best decision I could’ve made for the birth of my son.

She is a natural, after working with her I could tell that being a Birth Doula is definitely her life’s calling. Her personality is warm, compassionate and friendly but also thorough and assertive when needed - this plays a great role during the labor and birth. She provided great support for both myself and my husband, and allowed him the right combination of space to participate how we wanted with the labor and delivery.

During the labor she used pressure points and theuraputic touch to provide pressure relief from the increasingly intense contractions. I’d say my birth was atleast 50% or more, less painful because Elizabeth was there anticipating the pain and providing exceptional relief. She is very humble but her experience and wisdom guided me through from two months prior to birth , to during the labor and delivery, to over a month post pardum.

Thanks you again to Elizabeth for helping me deliver my huge and healthy 10 lb baby boy all naturally - It was all meant to be, your compassionate work is truly a blessing.

The best decision we made to prepare for the birth of our daughter was hiring Elizabeth. She’s extremely knowledgeable, friendly, kind, and prompt to respond to all our communication and questions. The prenatal visits and classes made us feel prepared and cared for.

I can happily say that my hospital unmedicated birthing experience was a positive one and I wouldn’t have done without Elizabeth’s support. She was right there to offer physical and emotional support when I needed it and was a source of encouragement when I felt like I couldn’t keep going.

Since we’ve brought our daughter home, she has continued to support and check in as we adjust to life with our new baby.

We wholeheartedly recommend Elizabeth’s services. Thank you for being part of such a magical moment, Elizabeth! We’ll be forever grateful ! 💕

Elizabeth went above and beyond, and was more than we could have ever expected! She was available whenever I had a question or thought and checked in on me throughout my pregnancy to chat about any concerns or thoughts I was having. She prepared us so much for the natural birth I wanted, and we could not have done that without her!

I had an intense labor, and Elizabeth stayed with me for hours after our birth to make sure my partner and I were ok, that I had help learning to breast pump, and made sure we had food!

Elizabeth didn’t stop there either, she has contacted me often to check in after the birth of our son, and most importantly has checked in with me to see how I was handling the transition to mother hood and how I was healing.

I would recommend Elizabeth to anyone! Birth is no joke, and support is much needed- Elizabeth was more than we could have ever imagined!

Elizabeth helped with the VBAC delivery of my daughter on 4-25-21. I will be forever grateful for her patience and kindness! I went into this delivery with a lot of trauma from my first (a failed induction that resulted in a c section in 2018), a lot of distrust of the medical system, and very high anxiety. When late term complications again required an induction, I was absolutely distraught. Elizabeth helped me to navigate the emotional chaos and stay focused on the outcome I wanted: A healthy baby born via VBAC and with minimal medical intervention. My second induction was smooth and so much less painful than the first. Elizabeth was calm and encouraging throughout as she helped me with positioning and alternative means of pain management (TENS, counter pressure, pressure points, etc). After almost 12 hrs post-induction, I pushed my baby out in under 30 minutes with no epidural. I progressed so quickly at the end that my medical team didn’t believe me when I told them I needed to push. Elizabeth never doubted me for a moment. My husband and I recommend her most highly.

I had the pleasure of working with Elizabeth for the birth of my daughter in January 2021. Even though this was my second child and I was familiar with what to expect during pregnancy and labor, Elizabeth still provided valuable support and knowledge. She used a variety of techniques (video calls, videos showing specific comfort techniques, guided meditations/breathing exercises, and hands-on practice with my partner) to support me in the prenatal period. Once I was in labor, Elizabeth really worked her magic and guided me through the natural birth I desired. I did not use a doula for the birth of my first child, and wish I had found Elizabeth sooner, as she helped enhance my childbirth experience in so many ways. She was such a calm and reassuring presence for me and I highly recommend her to any expectant mother.
