Elizabeth Kidwell
Postpartum Doula
A little bit about me...
Hi there! I have been married to my husband for 3 years. In 2023, we made the move from Virginia to the Raleigh area, bringing our two, four-legged babies, Andie and Piper. I recently became a mama to my little boy, Weston, and I’m loving this new chapter. Sundays are all about faith and family for us—we start the morning at church and spend the afternoon watching sports. I cherish time with family and love catching up with friends. Fun fact: I spent seven years growing up in Switzerland, so traveling is in my blood! I’m always up for an adventure, whether it’s exploring new places or just making special memories with the people I love.

what is your doula philosophy?
I would describe my doula style as client-centered, evidence-based, and adaptable. Every family’s journey is unique, and my goal is to provide personalized support that makes your transition into postpartum as smooth and seamless as possible. I’m here to offer guidance, reassurance, and hands-on help, tailored to what works best for you and your baby.
My goal is to provide compassionate support that helps the entire family adjust and thrive. Postpartum care should be nurturing, nonjudgmental, and supportive, creating a space where parents feel encouraged, empowered, and cared for as they navigate this special time.
why did you become a doula?
I became a postpartum doula because of my passion for supporting both babies and their mamas during such a transformative time. With four years of experience as a Registered Nurse in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, I developed a deep appreciation for the postpartum period and the unique challenges and joys it brings.
favorite types of clients to support?
I especially love supporting new mamas and the transitions that come with those early days as I’ve recently been through the journey myself!

Our family's experience with East Raleigh Doula Company was exceptional. Our doulas, Elizabeth and Erin, provided excellent care and support to our family during the first 6 weeks of postpartum. They both helped a great deal in helping us navigate breastfeeding, pumping, and newborn care as first time parents. Their positivity and enthusiasm helped lift our spirits during this stressful early postpartum period. The needs of the baby were sometimes changing on a daily basis, and Elizabeth and Erin were both highly adaptable and great on-the-fly problem solvers. The postpartum period would have been immensely more stressful without their support, and we honestly don’t know what we would have done without them. We also had a great experience working with the owner, Emily, who made the entire experience of matching up with a doula and working with my company-sponsored benefit, Carrot, a very smooth and positive experience.
