I had a successful VBAC on 8/30/23 with Elissa as my birth doula. She did a wonderful job helping me get through labor. She was very helpful and attentive wether it was getting me more ice chips or rubbing my back and helping me get through a tough contraction. She was able to guide me through different labor positions and excercises in an effort to progress my labor, which was very helpful since it was very slow in the beginning. When it came time to push she was right there with me and my husband reminding me on the best push technique for my situation and cheering me on. She also asked the nurses and doctors things that helped me understand the process better and she was there to advocate for me to ensure everything that was being done was what I ok with. I am very happy my husband and I decided to enlist her help through our birth process. ??

Elissa was a great support person during my labor. She was caring and helped keep me calm the entire time.  She made sure I was doing well and assisted me with whatver I needed! Being that this was my first time giving birth I was nervous however Elissa was great at making sure I was distracted and comfortable. 
I couldn't have done it without her and I am truly grateful she was by my side the entire time!! My birth experience was amazing and never did I think it could go so smoothly!!

There are so many things I could say about Elissa, she was an absolute rockstar during my labor towards myself and my husband. My labor started off super quick by the time I called Elissa she knew it was time because I had already had one previous child and that one was fast! By the time I got to the hospital Elissa had beat me to labor and delivery. Talking with the nurses while I was 5 cm dilated was so easy with her by my side helping through the contractions. We had already talked prior about what kind of labor I wanted if possible, so her already knowing that going in made the world of a difference. During the contractions, Elissa had brought things to help me during natural labor, such as things to calm me, massage my back, relieving  pain using pressure points and comfort items. As for my husband she kept him informed on what was happening to my body, showing him massages to relieve my discomfort and kept him calm. It turned out to be a very memorable day thank you so much Elissa!

My birth experience was exactly how I imagined thanks to Elissa. She was always on time, answered any questions I had, kept in constant contact with me and most importantly made my birth experience a calm and relaxing one!

Elissa was wonderful and super responsive. She would send helpful videos leading up to labor and was easy to get a hold of when I went to the hospital in the middle of the night.
