Elissa Harper Birth & Postpartum Doula in Vernon Rockvl, CT
About Elissa
Hi! Thanks for visiting my profile! I am in the process of obtaining my Birth Doula and Childbirth Educator Certifications through Birth Arts International. I am also taking my 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher course, and I love when I can mix birth work and yoga! As a birth worker, I believe that the right to proper education, support, and care is essential. I understand that every birthing person is different, every pregnancy is different, and every baby is different. I work hard to be inclusive of all birthing people and am fiercely supportive of all family dynamics. I'm ready to meet you where you're at to create an individualized birth and postpartum plan and to support you physically, emotionally, and spiritually through every step. I live in Tolland County with my husband, two children, and our slew of pets. I love spending time in nature. I also love practicing yoga, though I don't often grant myself the time to. I graduated from Springfield College in 2016 with degrees in elementary education, special education, and United States history and the political process.
