“I cannot say enough good things about Chicago Family Doulas, in particular our doula Elly. From months before birth to the day of labor support to postpartum check ins, Elly was there with compassion, a positive attitude, and a sense of humor. I truly do not think that my birthing experience would have been what it was without the support of our doula Elly. My husband and I are so grateful for the knowledge and encouragement she brought us!”

“I had the pleasure of working with Elly as my doula, and I can’t recommend her enough! From the very first meeting, she made me feel heard, supported, and empowered. Throughout my pregnancy and birth, Elly was always available to answer questions, provide resources, and offer emotional support whenever I needed it. What really stood out to me was her calm and reassuring presence during labor. She knew exactly what to say and do to help me stay focused and relaxed. Whether it was helping me with breathing techniques, offering physical support, or simply providing a comforting word, Elly was always there. She also worked seamlessly with my partner, making sure we both felt comfortable and confident every step of the way. Her professionalism, warmth, and genuine care made such a positive impact on my birth experience. Elly truly went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful to have had her by my side. If you’re looking for a doula who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly dedicated to supporting you, Elly is the one!”
