Testimonial for Elan Eddington
I have known Elan for 17 years and was thrilled to finally get to have her as my doula when I gave birth to my first baby a few months ago. She was such an important part of the team for first-time parents. She was warm, supportive, and someone with whom you can be safe and vulnerable. Elan is great about supporting a mom's birth desires and not pushing any agenda of her own. I had planned to give birth without medication. She encouraged and supported both when I wanted to pick up the pace of labor and when I needed to lay down and rest. She was a great support to my husband: he was able to help me better because she was there to guide him. There were some rough moments and she was able to let him know what was normal and support him when he struggled to watch me in pain. He was glad she was there with us. Elan will be supportive of your birth--however it goes. After a long, difficult labor I received an epidural. I worried she would be disappointed, but she trusted my decision and my knowledge of my strength without question. Elan continued to provide needed help and support to us both through birth and the baby's first breastfeeding. I'm so grateful that she was there with, and for, us that day.
