As your Birth Doula, we are professionals with years of experience and countless trainings. But, choosing a birth doula is personal, and here at Looma Birth, we want to help you find the BEST fit for your journey. We want to not just show up for our clients as a qualified expert, but as a holistic, energetic, vibe match too.

You can be matched directly with a core team member including Elizabeth or be matched with a collective member. Things like experience and personality, budget, availability, and location can and will play a part in this matching process.

We ideally meet 1-2 times before birth where we get to foster our relationship, and create a birth plan. In these meetings, we will prepare birth expectations, discuss possible scenarios for your laboring day, roll play labor and pushing positions, and plan how we will best work together to support the birthing person. We will make sure you have all necessary resources provided.

Once you are 38 weeks, we are on call for you until birth. We labor together, where our doula supports you in many ways - including comfort measures  that make it a more easeful experience. Depending on what helps you relax, our scope includes things like emotional and physical support, massage, rebozo, acupressure stimulation, essential oils, yoga positioning, education, personal experience, and more! Each Birth is unique and special, and we tailor our support to you and your family’s needs.

We have experience with hospital, birth centers, and home births. We will support all forms of birth. We have experience working with Bradley Method, Hypnobabies, and Hypnobirthing parents. 

After birth, we will come to your home for one visit to help support you with breastfeeding, baby, and reflect on your birth journey. This time, whether its your first baby or your fifth, is a journey in and of itself and we are here to provide support and guidance to you and your (now larger) family.
