Testimonial for Enza Lilley
I highly recommend Enza for so many reasons. From the start, she was an incredible help for both my husband and I. Her initial visits helped us think through questions and scenarios we would not have anticipated. This really helped me get over fears I had about labor and feel much more prepared. She got to know both of us - how we interacted and what our preferences and goals regarding birth were. She is knowledgable and caring and I was beyond impressed with her services even before labor.
During labor she brought a presence with her that was calming and reassuring. She helped me through each contraction, I didn't lose focus during any of them with her there. When I started to lose focus, she would say or do just the right thing to bring me back and help me through it. She has an incredible gift of being able to help you decide how to move forward, offering advice and options and truly letting everything be your decision. She is practical and doesn't sugar-coat things, which is something my personality needed and really appreciated. She is so incredibly intentional and caring the entire time, which helped me to relax, focus and make it through what I'd certainly label as the hardest hours of my life. I followed her lead as we moved through active labor and the result was a baby no longer in the OP position and a completely natural birth.
After delivery my daughter had complications breathing, Enza stayed with me while my husband was able to be with our new daughter in the special care unit. Enza was there with me, chatting and offering advice, which helped me to not fall apart in those few hours between delivery and when I was recovered enough to go be with my daughter again.
I am so grateful Enza was my doula and really cannot give her enough of a recommendation in this short text box!
