Testimonial for Enza Lilley
As a dad, there is perhaps nothing quite so terrifing or exciting or unknown as having your first child. Many thanks to Enza, we welcomed our first child, a son, into our family in the Fall of '14. I first heard about this "doula" idea from my amazing wife and agreed to consider the idea. Honestly, I did not understand what a doula was at first and I was unsure as to why this was neccessary or even helpful. As such, we agreed to meet Enza at a quiet coffee shop for the initial interview and to ask a few more questions. Though brief, the encounter with Enza was a very pleasant one and made me more comfortable with the idea of hiring a doula. However, that one question remained, why? Why is a doula neccessary with all of the nurses and doctors at the hospital? And, why should we spend this additional expense? Well, 9 months later and holding our son in my arms, it is clear that enlisting Enza Lilley was one of the best choices we've ever made...
In the months leading up to the birth, Enza was always available to answer questions and offer encouragement to the growing mother. Around 8 months, my wife and I met with Enza for a birthing class / pre-game meeting where she offered many helpful tips to both of us for the upcoming final month!
Birth though, you will see, is where all the action is!! In our case, this was an exhausting 40 hours of labor followed by 3 hours of pushing...and yet Enza was there to help the whole way. She worked tirelessly alongside my wife to ease the pain and help her through each contraction. Meanwhile, she was also there for this soon-to-be-dad and blessed me so much by explaining the birth process as we moved along and, perhaps most importantly, she taught me how to take care of my wife in this unique time.
At the end of the day, I am happy say that we would hire Enza again in a heartbeat and I hope that you do as well! She is a mommy's helper and also a friend...two things that money can't buy!
