Client Testimonials

Some love words from clients

“Elke's calm demeanor and wealth of knowledge allowed me to comfortably go within and picture the power of my body. That power that says "I was made and designed to do this".  That feeling of strength, wisdom, and having the courage to listen to and trust my body was incredible. I attribute much of this to Elke's support and care. Care that was provided in the comfort of my own home. It doesn't get any better than that!”

“I am so thankful to Elke for helping me to have such a positive and natural birth experience. Ultimately, she really trusted me and my body and that made all the difference to me because it was so hard to trust myself and my body after a traumatic birth experience with my first. All of her suggestions for prenatal health and preventative measures were right on! She is wonderful, has a big heart and will work with you wherever you are at. I highly recommend her.”

“Elke is, in my opinion and experience, an amazing midwife. I felt completely safe in her care. Not only safe but loved, special, and beautiful!  After my last hospital delivery I felt uncared for, completely violated, and as if I was just a “get her in and out” patient.  Her knowledge of medical care, kindness and understanding of women made my last 3 deliveries absolutely wonderful!!

I cry as I write this, because this was important to me. Welcoming my first child into the world in such a loving and supportive way was so special. I will never forget Elke, and if at all possible, I want her to deliver all of my babies.

At the end of the day, we have a big choice to make when it comes to our pregnancy and delivery. I know I received top notch care, and I hope you will consider Elke as your pregnancy health care provider—you won’t be disappointed.

I had the pleasure of attending births and providing PT care to a number of Elke's birthing clients. It's rare to find a provider so dedicated to preserving pelvic floor integrity and the skills to work with each person's unique biomechanics and physiology instead of against it. You are in good hands.
