We were fortunate enough to meet Enza and to have her with us for the birth of our second daughter. I was nervous going into this delivery because my goal was for a VBAC (my first daughter was born via C-section because she was in a breech position). During my first meeting with Enza, I expressed my fears and concerns, and she was both realistic about the sucess of a VBAC, but also conveyed to me a confidence and optimism that really boosted my moral about going forward with my goal. Every single member of the hospital staff that night who entered our room, immediately smiled when they saw Enza! It was so nice that she already had a great connection and reputation at Beverly Hospital. As we labored through the night, Enza guided us through contractions, and had many helpful suggestions to relive my discomfort. She and my husband worked so well together, and she never left my side. When I decided to get an epidural, Enza talked through the decision with me, and encouraged me to think through what I wanted to do. The pushing stage of labor was absolutely exhausting, and I didn't think that I was going to get through it. Enza kept quietly encouraging me that I could do it, and I know that her encouragement also helped my husband get through the hardest part of watching me struggle. We came through it all with a successful VBAC, and Enza's support and encouragement throughout a long labor and delivery were priceless.
I would encourage any expectant mother to hire a doula, and Enza has a true gift. Her personality is upbeat, but she is very soothing and comforting while conveying such wonderful energy. I cannot recommend her highly enough, and if we have one more baby, can't wait to have her there with us again! Thank you Enza!
