Meet Elizabeth

I have always had this deep-rooted passion and calling for motherhood, pregnancy, and birth. There’s something profoundly beautiful in both witnessing and experiencing this journey - in all its raw intensity and tender moments.

After my second birth, I felt an undeniable pull toward birth work. At the time, I didn’t know to follow that calling, or even fully understand what it meant. But with each birth, the feeling grew stronger, and it became more apparent where God was leading me.

One day, I finally surrendered it all to Him. And wow - did He ever move swiftly! He turned what I thought I knew the direction of my path was upside down, gently replacing my plans with His own. Looking back, I can see the subtle shifts He made - the nudges of His wisdom, the doors He quietly opened for my family and me to step through.

When I finally took the leap He had been patiently waiting for me to take, The Heritage Mother was born. And that brings me here, writing this hello to you today!
