Golden Hour Birth Doula
Elizabeth Hannum
Compassionate, grounded birth support for your most sacred moments
A birth doula, homebirther, and student midwife with a background in nursing, here to support you with calm presence and holistic care through the deeply transformative experience that birth can be — one that has the power to shape the whole of who we are.
Birth doula in Northwest Arkansas and Southwest Missouri. Serving Fayetteville, Springdale, Rogers, Harrison, Branson, and surrounding areas.
Whether you’re planning a home birth or hoping for a natural hospital experience, you deserve care that honors your instincts, your body, and your baby.
My approach blends evidence-based guidance with intuitive presence and deep respect for the sacred process of birth. I bring experience from my own two home births, birth doula training, and hands-on midwifery mentorship — always grounded in my role as your doula.
I don’t replace your provider. I walk beside you — offering calm, continuous support so you can birth with confidence, clarity, and peace.
You deserve to feel seen, safe, and supported.
Whether it’s your first baby or your fifth, every birth deserves thoughtful, grounded support. I work with women planning everything from peaceful hospital births to intimate home births — and everything in between.
Each of my doula packages offers a different level of care, from full in-person support to simpler or virtual options. No matter what you choose, I’ll walk with you through pregnancy, labor, and those first tender days with calm, honest, heart-led care.
How I Support You
Testimonials
-
I highly recommend Elizabeth! She was supportive from the very beginning. She strives to help you meet your goals regardless of what those goals might be. During labor, she advocated for me when I no longer could for myself. With my first child, I didn't have a doula. The labor process was chaotic as I didn't feel prepared. My delivery with Elizabeth was much smoother. She made me feel comfortable and capable. I truly couldn't have done my pregnancy without her!

I had the privilege of Elizabeth being there for my first birth. I knew I wanted her to be there! She gave me advice throughout my pregnancy and checked on me daily for the last couple of weeks leading up to birth. She took over communicating with family, encouraged me, kept a hot towel on my back in the tub, took photos that we'll cherish forever, and more!

During my pregnancy, Elizabeth would constantly help guide me to decisions that felt safe and right for ME. Never overriding my feelings or voice, she gave me space to figure out what I wanted. At the same time, she oozed warmth - like a big hug sister hug. And most of all, she’s just totally competent and knowledgeable. Which makes every thing feel better when there’s someone who knows what they’re doing! Highly recommend in whatever capacity.
