Liz has a passion for birth and supporting growing families. The birth of her first child in 2006 via surgical birth sparked a deep desire to sow into the lives of others walking the journey of  pregnancy and motherhood. She noticed a lot of negativity that surrounded families during these vulnerable times and wanted to be a positive voice in their midst. She hoped to help encourage those around her. Elizabeth’s second daughter was born in 2011 via repeat Cesarean; that experience grew her spiritually and mentally. She dove deep into the study of the birth process to equip herself with as much knowledge as she could, of all available options for her future pregnancies. Her son was born at home (HBA2C) in 2014 and it was a life changing experience. In 2016, Elizabeth had another HBA2C to a 12 pound baby girl and then Ezra joined the crew in 2019 and completed Elizabeth's family. Her personal experiences have only furthered her love for helping families learn their options and feel confident in their decision making, during this life changing season.

She certified as a birth doula in 2015 and has been excited to continuously serve women during their birthing time for the past 5 years. However after feeling the desire to serve families in a different capacity for sometime, Elizabeth began an apprenticeship to become a home birth midwife in 2020. She's excited to continue birth work in this new capacity and will bring the knowledge she gains as a care provider to our childbirth education classes.

Elizabeth is one of the few natives to the area having grown up in Franklin, TN. She is  now settled in Spring Hill with her high school sweetheart, David, and their five beautiful children Olivia, Vivian, Elijah, Evelyn Joy and Ezra.

When not attending births Elizabeth enjoys cooking for her family, homeschooling her children, having any of her 14 nieces or nephews over, reading, a great cup of coffee, and movie dates with her husband.
