Empowered Birth for
a Beautiful Earth.
We all hope for a peaceful and prosperous future for our children - to live joyfully in healthy environments where we all can reach our greatest divine potential.
Profoundly, this wonderful possibility can be realized through an Empowered Birth experience = when both Parent and Baby are deeply nourished from pre-conception and through the postpartum journey. The Earthly Birth Doula offers holistic fertility, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum services to nurture you and your little one through individualized care informed by science and ancient traditions, including wholesome food plans, gentle herbal remedies, mindful movement practices, and lifestyle sustainability that honors this miraculous planet shared by all our children.
Meet Elaina
Welcome to my little corner of the internet ❤️
My journey toward holistic birth work began through an unexpected combination of curiosities for the environment, social justice, yoga, and herbal studies - all rooted in a deep desire to help others and a love for an exceptional cup of tea.
I became a student of Mother Earth and studied herbal-medicine traditions - including Ayurveda (“the wisdom of Life” and sister-science of yoga), Western European herbalism, and prenatal herbalism - then wove this foundation of plant wisdom into prenatal yoga & birth doula certifications.
I also serve the community by volunteering for Indigenous-led nonprofit programs that support maternal health and share Indigenous teachings and native plant wisdom with the greater Omaha metro area and throughout Turtle Island.
I believe that we all are born on this Earth with magnificent gifts to share and truly unlimited potential. As a birth worker walking alongside you and your family, I hope to be a gentle voice offering information, advocacy, affirmation, and guided comfort through every step of your Empowered Birth journey.
Nourishing, Inspiring, Creating
An Empowered Birth is an experience that deeply connects You to yourself and your Baby through spiritual connection, emotional expansion, mental transformation, and physical nourishment. What you give to yourself during this sacred period of creation will support your entire family’s well-being for the rest of your lives and throughout all future generations.
