Testimonial for Liza Ozkay

 

I cannot overstate how instrumental Liza was in helping my husband and me survive the newborn phase with our son Luka. After an incredibly traumatic birth that left me struggling with severe postpartum depression, Liza became far more than just a night doula—she became my lifeline.

Every evening, I would count down the hours until 10 PM when Liza would arrive. I had a million questions ready for her each night, and she answered every single one with patience, warmth, and wisdom. She never made me feel foolish or inadequate. Instead, she made me feel comforted, reassured, valued, and validated during one of the darkest periods of my life.

Liza supported our family on every level. She cared for Luka with expertise and tenderness, allowing me the rest I desperately needed to recover physically from the delivery. But just as importantly, she provided the emotional support that helped me begin healing from my traumatic birth experience. As a first-time mom feeling completely lost, she helped me identify Luka’s cues, even setting up a camera with timestamps so I could review and learn his patterns. This practical guidance gave me confidence when I had none.

What makes Liza truly exceptional is that her support didn’t end when her contracted time with us did. Even after she stopped providing overnight care, she continued helping me navigate Luka’s sleep regressions, patterns, and routines over the following years. Her ongoing guidance has been invaluable.

If you’re looking for a doula who will support not just your baby but your entire family with compassion, expertise, and genuine care, Liza is that person. She helped us through our hardest time, and I will be forever grateful.????????????????
