Kyle Soucy

Liz is a wonderful doula. Having her present during the labor and birth of my son was such an amzing gift. She was well-prepared and stayed with us the entire time. She never left my side during a very LONG night of labor. I really felt as if Liz went through every contraction with me. My husband never felt replaced by Liz at all. She helped him to help me more. Liz worked with both of us as a team and I honestly couldn't imagine having another baby without her!
