Testimonial for Elizabeth Velasquez
I’m an RN and had originally planned on doing your “typical” hospital birth. I hadn’t really given much consideration to any other kind of birth and pain meds and epidural sounded just fine to me. Then I got pregnant and began really researching my options and decided natural was the way to go.
We met Liz for an initial consultation and she made me feel at ease right away. She has a very calm and sweet demeanor. Liz was supportive and wonderful pre and post pregnancy but, she was an absolute rock-star during the birth! I had a long 23 hour labor and she and my husband worked amazing as a team tirelessly applying counter pressure. She was so attentive and sensitive to my needs. There are so many little things you forget about when you are in labor…like drinking enough water and going to the bathroom. Liz was great about verbally affirming me and pampering me. She was knowledgeable on positions and natural pain relief techniques. She worked really well with the medical team. Our nurse even commented that Liz was one of the best doulas she had seen. We succeeded in doing all-natural birth in a hospital thanks to Liz, my hubby and God who gave me strength. I can’t imagine doing a natural birth without the help of Liz. I highly recommend her if you are looking for an amazing, strong and caring person to support you.
