About Elaine ...

Elaine is passionately committed to helping create the atmosphere which allows women and their partners to birth in whatever way is most natural and satifsying to them.

Elaine comes from a line of midwives which includes her great-grandmother, grandmother, and her daughter. She herself has had a long and varied career caring for moms and babies for over three decades. Throughout the years Elaine has been inspired by her observation, backed up by research, that the single most significant factor in creating a good birth environment and reducing the need for invasive technologies is the presence of a doula.
