Hi, I’m Elizabeth. I live in Idaho Falls with my growing family and I’m passionate about birth and parenthood. I offer childbirth education and doula services in southeast Idaho: Rexburg, Rigby, Idaho Falls, Shelley, Blackfoot, Pocatello and the surrounding areas. 

In addition to being trained and certified as a doula, I have a BA in Anthropology, which is the study of humans, human behavior, and societies in the past and present. This background has had a profound influence on my personal and professional approach to birth and parenting.

As a doula I offer emotional, physical, and evidence-based informational support for the childbearing year. I strive to empower you to achieve your best birth, whatever that looks like for you. My ultimate goal is that you feel supported, respected, and validated in your unique choices so that you and your family can thrive. 

In addition to birth doula services, I offer childbirth education, postpartum doula services, and babywearing education. I’m always expanding my knowledge and I look forward to continuing to expand my services in the future. Please check my facebook page for the most up-to-date list of my offerings.
