Testimonial for Elizabeth Velasquez
After a very lengthy and difficult labor with my first child, I knew I wanted some extra support with my second. I met with Liz after finding her on Doula Match, and was confident right away that she was a good fit. I was right. In our prenatal visits and messages she helped me in several ways, from sorting out the details of my birth plan, to helping me work through my fears of what I'd face in my second labor. She was also unfailingly patient when I contacted her about what turned out to be Braxton-Hicks.
As it turned out, my labor progressed rapidly, and I was already in transition when Liz arrived. I was really starting to struggle, but she applied counter-pressure (taking the edge off of my contractions) and reminded me of why I had chosen a natural birth. She helped to keep me motivated, and played no small role in helping me to have the kind of birth experience I wanted.
I couldn't be happier with the way things went, and am so glad to have chosen Liz as my doula!
