Hello, and congratulations on taking charge of your journey towards the birth of your baby.  

My name is Elisa, I am a mother, a daughter, sister, partner and friend.  I live in Sherborne and cover most of Dorset,  South Somerset and South-West Wiltshire. 

I accompany womxn and couples on a journey of self-trust through pregnancy and birth. Together we work to create the circumstance of birth that you need to feel safe, nurtured, centered and empowered.  

I offer you my accumulated birth wisdom, my loving care and  individualized guidance.  I make you aware of your choices even when you’ve been told you don’t have them. I am there for you, for your unique journey to birth.  I work and advocate for you, not your healthcare provider. 

Every birth is different, the birthing process is individual to each mother and baby. It is wild, primal, joyful and challenging, and it is your path to walk. Every new parent goes through their own individual rights of passage. I believe birth is as much a journey of the soul as of the body. My passion is working with you to feel fully ready and empowered. 

However the birth unfolds, my aim is that you can look back and say “It was my birth, my body, my decision.”

I work with folk from all walks of life and identities who are coming to parenthood with a desire to give themselves and their babies the best chance of a fulfilling and loving life. 

Apart from working as a Doula I’m also a  life coach and therapist and a circle facilitator. I am currently training in Somatic Experiencing a body based approach to healing trauma and stress. 

Please feel free to get in touch for a chat to see if we are a good fit to work together in this important moment of your life.
