I offer prenatal and birth support as well as postpartum doula services. I'm also trained as a lactation educator and can cook up a pretty mean (and very healthy!) meal :)
I cannot speak highly enough of Eldrid's invaluable support during my postpartum recovery. After my C-section, she became an indispensable part of our household, seamlessly managing tasks that allowed me to focus on healing and bonding with my newborn. Eldrid not only cooked delicious and nutritious meals that nourished our family (by the way, she makes the BEST lactation chocolate chip cookies and tapioca pudding), but she also ensured our home was consistently tidy and organized. Her attention to detail in laundry and housekeeping meant I could rest without worry. The soothing massages she provided for my feet, shoulders, neck, and hands were incredibly therapeutic and helped relieve the tension that comes with new motherhood. Beyond the physical care, Eldrid went above and beyond by taking expert care of our baby, allowing me precious moments to nap, shower, or simply take a solo walk for much-needed self-care. Eldrid's understanding and compassionate demeanor made me feel supported and understood during those overwhelming first weeks as a new mom. I remember when I had my first experience with breast engorgement. I was terrified and texted Eldrid, and she immediately knew the fix and brought over some cabbage leaves to help manage the pain. Eldrid's dedication to both my baby's well-being and my own was evident in every interaction. She listened attentively to my concerns and offered invaluable guidance and reassurance. Her nurturing presence not only eased the transition into motherhood but also fostered a sense of confidence and empowerment in my new role. I am profoundly grateful to Eldrid for her unwavering support and expertise during a pivotal time in our lives. Her professionalism, kindness, and genuine care have left an indelible mark on our family's journey. I wholeheartedly recommend Eldrid to any parent seeking compassionate and knowledgeable postpartum care. My family misses her greatly!

My husband and I cannot recommend working with Eldrid enough! As first time parents we were so grateful to have her as part of our village in the early weeks as we settled into a routine and got to know our baby and ourselves as parents. She was gracious with her time in advance, speaking with us on the phone and meeting in person to ensure we were all comfortable and to learn about us and our home. We had the pleasure of working with her for about 6 weeks and everything from helping with all things baby (diaper changes, soothing, tips on ways to hold her, etc.) to sharing nourishing meals and recommendations on books and other providers in the area we could benefit from working with Eldrid was whole person/family care. She eases your way in this new space and helps guide you as you learn and become confident with your child. Look no further!
