Full Spectrum Doula- DTI
Certified Childbirth Educator- DTI Newborn Care Specialist- NCTA Full Circle Doula Trainer- The Circle Family Center |
Elisa Havens-StokesWelcome! I’m Elisa, a dedicated doula, childbirth educator, perinatal mood disorder peer support mentor, and newborn care specialist with over a decade of experience supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period.
My passion for this work is deeply rooted in the belief that every birthing person deserves to feel heard, empowered, and supported in their journey to parenthood. I am committed to preserving your autonomy, ensuring you have the information and confidence to make choices that feel right for you and your growing family. Birth is transformative, and I believe it should be approached with respect, knowledge, and compassionate care. Whether you desire a hands-on advocate during labor, guidance as you navigate the fourth trimester, or emotional support as you process the joys and challenges of new parenthood, I am here to hold space for you. In addition to my work with individual families, I am also deeply involved in community-based perinatal support through The Circle Family Center. I strive to make doula care accessible to all, with a special focus on underserved populations and low-income families who often face barriers to quality maternal support. No matter your birth plan or parenting style, I am honored to walk alongside you—helping you feel informed, supported, and truly cared for every step of the way. Let’s create the birth and postpartum experience that feels right for you. |
