Testimonial for Elizabeth Oldham CD(DONA), HCHD, HBCE

I will not be able to describe how wonderful Liz is but here it goes.

I took Liz’s Birth Education Class before hand. It is very informative and well presented. Liz does a wondering job of giving a very comprehensive class. She gives you the info you need but does not overwhelm you.

She is very attentive. Anytime I had a question or concern she was always quick to respond via text or email. We we did our consult with her she also listens so well! She is able to truly understand your wishes as parents and guide you as your are preparing for birth. In those unsure days leading up to labor she was so much encouragement and reassurance.

During my long, long…Long (52hours in total) labor, Liz never left my side. Her heart of service towards me was unmatched. Gentle touches, affirming words, and a listening ear. It was especially wonderful to have her when my husband needed to sleep. She was there through the long hours of the night. She was also able to suggest several positions to labor in as well as maneuvers to get the babies head in a more optimal position.

From the first moments she arrived with us at our home she set a calm tone. She was able to advise when to start heading to the hospital. My husband was wonderful through birth and with me for most of it but when he could not be i.e…getting the car ready, food, sleep… Liz was there and there was not a beat missed. In our hospital room she brought white christmas lights that also helped to create a warm atmosphere. We kept those lights in our recovery room and all the nurses would mention how nice it felt in our room.

Liz’s selfless attention to myself, my husband and to our little boy was outstanding. Her kindness as a person is heard and felt by her demeanor. We are extremely grateful to have had Liz by our sides for one of the most important days of our lives. Thank you Liz!
