Testimonial for Elise Benoit
Elise is phenomenal doula, and I now recommend a birth doula to everyone because of my experience with Elise. She is compassionate, calm, knowledgeable, intuitive, and the right combination of gentle & strong. I had a traumatic experience with my first birth, and Elise helped me develop a new approach to birth for my second. She shared valuable resources throughout my pregnancy and gave me the confidence to prepare for an unmedicated birth. Elise believed in me so that I could believe in the possibility of a better birth experience. I went 10 days past my due date and Elise's confidence gave me the courage to actually trust my body during those long 10 days. During my labor, she was a steady calming force. She was by my side at all the right moments and I could not have done it without her. I actually begged her to not leave my side during transition and pushing. I needed to know she was by my side - and she was. She never left. As an added bonus, Elise photographed the birth so that I could have those memories forever. I credit Elise for my success in having an unmedicated birth. She helped me advocate for myself, she believed in me, and her presence gave me the strength to continue on. Thank you, Elise!
