“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 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.
