Testimonial for Elyse Breit, CD(DONA)
When I realized I was pregnant with my second baby, I was sure of at least one thing: I was going to hire a doula again, and that doula could only be Elyse. I knew I needed as much support as I could get as I headed into two-under-two territory. After my wonderful experience as her client last year, I wanted confidence that I could again achieve another positive birth, which for me meant an unmedicated natural birth. She provided a plethora of prenatal resources that I was able to access anytime on Gdrive. As my Ob-Gyn appointments at the time seemed to be capped at five minutes with the doctor, long enough to ask one question, having evidence-based resources to go through on my own time was invaluable. She is there for her clients, both in person during her informational and demonstrative home visits, and also, easily accessible via text & phone. As time went on, I grew quite frustrated and mistrusting of my ob-gyn group, and had to make the difficult decision to switch to a midwifery group at 38 weeks. Elyse was supportive of my choices, which helped me move forward in what turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made. My labor and delivery went incredibly smoothly. During labor, I was able to tune out and listen to what my body needed, and she knew exactly how to support that. She even gave me a foot rub to comfort me during contractions, and got my husband to join in on the massaging too! This more than comforted me, it touched my heart. Do yourself a favor and hire Elyse as your Doula. I feel blessed to say that if I could relive my birth experience, I would, without changing a single thing. Elyse was part of that for me.
