Having grown up in Vermont, I was always around breastfeeding mothers, clean living, and being part of a village for new parents. Upon moving to North Carolina in 2015, I realized the silver lining that was missing in childcare- a cohesive option for care for the newest of babies to any age child, while providing a balance of education, nurturing, and love to the parents. I have a wide variety of experience and certifications in pregnancy, labor, birth, and early parenting. I bring passion and expertise to each and every family she serves. My interest in postpartum work was sparked when my little sister was born; I truly believed that this sweet angel was brought into this world as my baby. From this moment on, I knew she had to work with babies and families in some fashion. Essentially, Elise did not choose the doula/nanny life, the doula/nanny life chose her. I offer a variety of services including: Elise brings a variety of experience, education, and certifications to your family: DONA certified birth doula DONA certified postpartum doula Rebozo certified Sleep Consultant Certified Nursing Assistant Family Coach Nanny Placement

I’m a mother of three and a doula, called to care for others. Before birth work, I spent six years as a caregiver for the elderly, children, and adults with disabilities, learning patience, compassion, and presence. My own birth experiences two cesareans, postpartum preeclampsia, and a transformative third birth taught me the power of being informed, supported, and truly heard. That journey inspired me to help others navigate pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with confidence and care. I offer calm, heart-centered support, meeting you where you are with no judgment or pressure. Birth isn’t just about bringing a baby into the world it’s about your transformation too. You deserve to feel held, respected, and empowered every step of the way, and it would be an honor to walk alongside you on this journey.

I am a veteran of the United States Air Force, spouse of a military retiree, International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), Certified Breastfeeding Specialist (CBS), and La Leche League Leader (LLLL). I completed Associate of Arts in General Studies and Bachelor of Arts in Psychology degrees from American Military University. I am certified in BLS for the Provider and trained in AED use. My husband and I have seven children. It is because of them, that I am where I am today. I am not only educated on the birth process and utilizing comfort measures for pain relief, but also have personal experience. I had two births using epidural pain relief. Five of my births were medication-free. My breastfeeding journey with each of my children was different. Every journey was different because every baby was, and each had their own challenges. (The parent may know what they are doing, but the baby needs to learn.) My experiences with each of my children taught me many things about giving birth and human lactation throughout the years. Helping birthing and lactating parents meet their own goals is my goal. As a CBS, IBCLC, and doula, all of my education and experience will help me to provide families compassionate care throughout the birth process, postpartum period, and lactation journey.

Hi, I’m Racine, a birth and postpartum doula.I work with capable, high-functioning women and their hardworking partners who want to be amazing in labor but are juggling full lives, full calendars, and a million responsibilities. You’re reading the books. You’re taking the classes. You’re doing everything people say will make you ready. But birth is unpredictable and when intensity rises, information doesn’t automatically turn into action. I prepare partners for childbirth to be steady, confident, and clear without having to tell him what to do or how to support you constantly so that you can focus on bringing your baby into the world. Because in labor, you shouldn’t have to run the room. You deserve to be supported by someone who already knows how to lead.
