Client Testimonials for Elana Kahn, HCHD
Tamar G. Vogel
Elana Kahn is an incredible doula. My labor lasted 23 hours, in which she and my husband shared rotations. She helped me work with my body, provided suggestions, and didn't overstep hospital procedure. As my birth plan didn't work out necessarily the way I had thought, she gave me confidence and reassurance with my choices. After our baby was born, my husband stated that we should never go through a pregnancy/delivery experience in the future without Elana's services. Should we move from Boston, someone else will have big shoes to fill.

My wife and I had an amazing experience with Elana Kahn. She was warm from the first day we met and very reliable since we had to give birth to our daughter 3 weeks early. Elana was so comforting to my wife in the hospital and helped us get through the birth of our first child.
