Testimonial for Elizabeth Oldham CD(DONA), HCHD, HBCE
Liz is hands down one of the most amazing people I've ever met. We had lined up several interviews with potential doulas, but after our skype session with Liz, we couldn't imagine birthing with anyone else and cancelled the rest. Prenatal, she remained in close contact and even battled a snowstorm to keep our one-on-one session. Even postpartum, she continuously checked in and was able to provide an array of resources and recommendations (always within minutes).
Before, during, and after the birth, Liz created a calming, soothing, as well as empowering environment for my husband and I. She instilled a sense of confidence in myself even though I was nervous and dreading the process a second time. Her judgement-free and supportive approach, made us feel secure in both our birth plan and also should we need to deviate from it. With numerous births under her belt as well as her own four lovely children, she has the breath and depth of knowledge and experience to be your strongest advocate.
With Liz, I had the most wonderful birthing experience. She provided the tools and support needed for me to remain relaxed and in control through every contraction. Through affirmations, gentle massages, calming guidance, and relaxation techniques, she always said and did exactly what I needed to hear or feel. She never left our side for over 24 hours - from our walks out in the brisk early morning air, to the backseat of our car, and the floor of the labor and delivery room. I'm so thankful I had the natural birth I had wished for and couldn't have imagined doing any of it without her.
I highly recommend Liz as a doula, regardless of the type of birth you plan or expect to have.
