We were very fortunate to have Elizabeth as our doula. She is an experienced, compassionate and positive minded person who had an immense impact on our birth experience.
My wife and I, expecting our first baby, wanted a doula who had experience, shared our philosophy of a natural birth, and with whom we would feel comfortable in our most intimate and stressful moments. We met a few doulas before deciding to work with Elizabeth as we felt she had all the qualities we were looking for. She was an important part of our team and continuously found ways to help us out.
The introductory meeting and Q&A, and in-person sessions to go over the labor pain relief techniques were very helpful and hands on. Having one-on-one sessions with her was very valuable and made us feel prepared and ready. Also during the pregnancy there will be many times when you want an informed and unbiased opinion - about various tests, exams, supplements etc., and Elizabeth is always willing and able to help. In fact many times she went beyond our already high expectations.
She helped us prepare a birth plan that reflected our philosohy and was very supportive of things we cared about.
During the birth, Elizabeth was extremely calm, helpful and made us feel comfortable. The pregnancy and birth process is a very exciting time, but it is also an uncertain time, and having Elizabeth's experience, mindfulness and positive-energy on our team made a huge difference for us.
We are forever thankful to Elizabeth for her help, support and kindness!
