Testimonial for Elizabeth Oldham CD(DONA), HCHD, HBCE
My husband and I hired Liz as both a Birth Doula and a HypnoBirthing Instructor. We are so lucky to have been referred to her! As a Health Researcher and someone who feels that learning is a life-long endeavor, I was impressed with and appreciative of Liz’s fountain of knowledge that comes from both her personal and professional experience and extensive training. She has a very calm, gentle, and relaxed nature and as a result, you can’t help but feel calmer and more relaxed after spending time with her, which was so important in my case. I had a lot of emotional baggage left over from my previous birth experience and with her help was able to let go of a lot of anxiety and negative feelings. My birthing experience with Liz was the polar opposite of my previous experience. She empowered me to let go of negative energy and be positive and work with my body – and it worked!! With her guidance and encouragement I was able to have a natural birth without drugs, without fear, without anxiety, and without pain (something I was originally very skeptical of). I am also grateful to the support and encouragement she gave during my many ‘false starts’ prior to the birth and when I got to the point when I thought real labor would never begin. She made me feel comfortable enough to reach out to her and each time I did, she put me at ease and geared me back to feeling positive and calm. During a home visit after the birth she also helped lift me up when I was having a difficult time breastfeeding. Her visit and words of encouragement snapped me out of my funk and helped me feel more positive about all the good things that I was doing but losing sight of. I would love for every woman/couple to also have a positive, natural birth experience and with Liz as their Doula and/or HypnoBirthing Instructor, it is possible!
