Dr Elsa du Toit supported me through one of the darkest chapters of my life, following the devastating loss of my two baby boys. She wasn’t just a psychiatrist who prescribed medication—she felt like a trusted friend and counsellor. Her genuine compassion, kindness, and willingness to listen made all the difference when I needed it most. I will always be grateful for her loving guidance and the hope she helped me rediscover. I couldn’t have asked for a more caring, attentive, and extraordinary psychiatrist.

As a fellow psychiatrist, I have had the privilege of collaborating with Dr.Elsa Du Toit and have consistently been impressed by her profound expertise in women's mental health. Her compassionate approach and deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by women have significantly benefited her patients. Dr. Du Toit's dedication to advancing mental health care for women is truly commendable.

I didn’t need more information. I needed structure. I needed someone to show me how to THINK through it.

This has been a topic I’ve been longing for in a workshop as it’s a special interest area of mine and providing evidence-based treatment in this part of a woman’s life is so important and so poorly understood by most doctors.

I found the content was expertly curated, highly informative & addressed the complexities of medication management during pregnancy and the postpartum. I especially appreciated the balance between evidence-based guidance and practical case examples which made the material both accessible and clinically relevant. I feel more confident in supporting my patients and families during this critical time.

The workshop was extremely beneficial and has improved my prescribing knowledge and inspired me to do more reading on maternal mental health topics and women's mental health in general.

Very well presented. Made a complex and difficult topic easier and feeling more able to make informed decisions in treating patients in the perinatal period. Knowledge about the latest data on pharmacotherapy helps to prescribe safely. Knowing one can contact colleagues in difficult cases.

Professional, comprehensive. It updated my knowledge on medication options during the perinatal period - saving me A LOT of time in finding this information on my own. It has also made me more confident in pharmacological strategies for the ladies in this population group.
