Meet Elia
Welcome to a Space of Strength and Calm

I would be honored to guide your family into this next beautiful chapter with harmony, joy, and peace of mind.
My “Why”: A Lived Journey
My perspective on life, healing, and childbirth is deeply shaped by my own experiences. As a mother of three children and a two-time breast cancer survivor, I have learned firsthand what it means to tap into deep, hidden reservoirs of strength, energy, and patience.
Having lived and traveled across different continents, I have witnessed diverse birth traditions firsthand. I draw the very best from these global, time-honored approaches to offer you a holistic, well-rounded, and deeply grounded experience.
My Philosophy: Holistic & Team-Centered
Every woman, every pregnancy, and every birth story is entirely unique. Taking a deeply holistic approach, I listen with an open heart to ensure every individual concern you have is met with accurate, evidence-based information. This empowers you to make the absolute best, self-governing choices for you and your baby.
My role is to help couples work seamlessly together, addressing fears and self-doubt side-by-side. I do not replace or overshadow your partner; instead, I provide the physical tools, emotional comfort measures, and expert guidance to ensure your partner steps forward as your central pillar of support—feeling entirely confident, connected, and actively involved. From the early stages of pregnancy through the vulnerable weeks of postpartum, I am committed to wrapping your family in a continuous envelope of safety and strength. You will never be alone.
To ensure you and your partner feel fully understood, heard, and at ease, we can connect in whichever language you feel most comfortable: English, French, or Spanish

Moments from the work
How we bloomed together
Words of gratitude from the families I have been honored to hold
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Elia! My partner and I attended her childbirth education class, which was thorough, empowering, and exactly what we needed to feel prepared for the journey ahead. She provided these classes at the comfort of our home, where she walked us through everything we needed to know—not just about birth but also about what comes afterward. Her extensive knowledge, particularly in advocating for herbal and natural solutions, was exactly what I was looking for. Her suggestions felt thoughtful, personalized, and perfectly aligned with our preferences. What truly sets Elia apart is her unwavering support. She went above and beyond to ensure we felt cared for and equipped to handle the challenges of labor. During the birth itself, her presence was invaluable—not only to me but also to my husband, whom she supported with tips on how to assist me with pain management. I was able to achieve my goal of delivering vaginally and without any pain medication. It was an experience I will forever cherish, and I know it wouldn’t have been the same without all her support. If you’re looking for someone to guide you through one of the most important moments of your life, I can highly recommend having her by your side. She is not just a doula—she is a partner, an advocate, and a source of strength.
I had the privilege of being accompagnied by Elia during my pregnancy. From the very beginning, she was incredibly caring, supportive, and reassuring during this important time in our lives. Her holistic approach helped me connect deeply with myself, my baby, and include my partner, which made the experience even more meaningful. Her guidance in preparing for birth and especially for breastfeeding was invaluable — when our baby arrived, I felt confident and ready. I never doubted that I could do it. Now, a year later, I still use the baby massage techniques she taught me. It has become a beautiful moment of connection that we share regularly. I’m so grateful for her presence, wisdom, and kindness throughout this journey. I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you 1000 fois Elia !
Elia made my wife’s dream delivery possible. She taught us so much beforehand. She helped me, be an active & helpful partner. We are so grateful.
