About Me

Hi, I'm Eldrid! I am a labor and postpartum doula, as well as a certified lactation counselor and educator, and I have been working in this field for fifteen years. This work is truly my calling.

On a personal note, I am Norwegian, married, and live in Topanga, California, where I am raising three wonderful boys with my husband.

Practice Philosophy

My philosophy is rooted in the belief that women have been taught to be somewhat fearful of birth. When a woman desires to experience unmedicated childbirth, I aim to strengthen her confidence in her body and mind's ability to handle birth, helping her process any fears along the way. I support women with all different approaches to pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, meeting each one exactly where she is.

Overall, my goal is to help every woman feel confident, supported, and free from fear as she moves through her own unique birth experience.
