Welcome!
Hello! I'm Ellie Oberg, a Birth and Postpartum Doula passionate about meeting your family where you’re at and walking through an incredible, life altering journey with you. I am a dual certified Labor and Birth Doula through both Doulaversity and ToLabor and a trained Postpartum Doula through CAPPA. I have taken many other trainings & forms of continuing education such as the Professional Doula Series through the Birth Education Center, observed a Breastfeeding 101 course, a 5 week Hypnobirthing series, Bradley Method Childbirth Education Class, and the Spinning Babies Parents Course. I am also Adult, Child, and Infant CPR/AED/first aid trained through the American Red Cross. I am Tricare Approved.
I truly believe that birth work found me. I have always had a passion for birth & family life, but wasn’t sure how to combine my interests into a career choice. A close friend of mine, who just happened to be a doula, quickly turned into a mentor and everything clicked. She took me to my first birth and my life has never been the same!
A little about me…I spend my free time listening to podcasts, cooking & baking, sewing and drinking Hot London Fog Tea Lattes (my favorite drink)!
