My name is Elisheva Simon and I am applying nearly 10 years of experience in the world of childbirth to my current work as a postpartum doula. I am a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator and experienced birth doula, and am certifying with CAPPA (www.cappa.net) as a postpartum doula.

I am the mother of 4 wonderful children, one of whom was a medically fragile baby. As a result, I have personal experience of being a parent of a baby in a neonatal ICU and taking care of an infant with special needs.

I have extensive experience teaching creative childbirth classes, and workshops to expectant parents on non-medical pain management during childbirth. I have attended many different kinds of births as a doula, at hospitals, birth centres and in private homes.

My goal as a postpartum doula is to provide in-home care to new mothers in order to sanctify and foster the special mother-baby relationship, to encourage and support nursing and to help create a more peaceful home environment for the new family.
