Doula Support with a Licensed Midwife
Ready to Experience the Best of Both Worlds?
When you choose me to support your birth, you receive the gentle, empowering, and holistic care of an experienced homebirth midwife, along with the peace of mind that you’ll be fully supported no matter where you choose to give birth.
What I Offer:
• 24/7 On-Call Support: From the moment we begin working together, I’m available around the clock.
• In-Home Early Labor Support: When you’re in labor, I come to your home to monitor your progress—checking baby’s heart tones, your vitals, cervical dilation, and your overall well-being. I help you assess the right time to head to your birthing location.
• Continuous Labor and Birth Support: I stay by your side to offer hands-on physical and emotional support throughout your labor and birth, and advocate for you during any medical procedures if needed.
• Immediate Postpartum Care: I remain with you after birth to support early bonding, assist with feeding, and help ensure a smooth recovery.
I also offer prenatal and postpartum care in your home if you choose to compliment your hospital birth experience with holistic midwifery care.
Every pregnancy is unique. I take the time to truly listen, answer your questions, and tailor my care to your needs.
Birth is a powerful, transformative journey—and you deserve compassionate, experienced, and continuous support every step of the way.
“We were having our first baby and didn’t know what we didn’t know, despite all the prep we had done from books, online and surveying our family and friends. So we decided to find an expert to help us and were so lucky to have found Ellen Levitt! She helped answer all of our questions, including questions we didn’t think to ask, during the late weeks of pregnancy, making us feel as confident as possible going into our birth. We even were able to call her the night of to confirm how far along we were and as a result were able to confidently and safely labor at home as long as possible before going to the hospital, where about 5 hours later, our beautiful baby boy was born.
Ellen’s postpartum services were invaluable. We had no idea, but apparently OB’s don’t see mothers postpartum until 4-6 weeks. That’s a lot of time with no care. Ellen visited us 6 times, from the day we got home from the hospital through 6 weeks when we were no longer considered postpartum, and each time acted as midwife and removed the need for us to go visit a pediatrician in those first couple of weeks as she checked out both mom and baby and ensured both were healthy and doing all the right things.
Ellen became a close friend and part of our family and is the only one we’ll call for help for our next baby. So worth the investment, can’t recommend her enough. Thank you Ellen for all your help!”
