Testimonial for Elizabeth Cano-Correa HypnoBirthing & Lamaze Certified Educator
Elizabeth recently acted as my doula for the labor and birth of my first child. My husband and I already have agreed that she was invaluable and will be one of the first people we call when we decide to have a second. Elizabeth is so wonderful and I would recommend her to anyone who is pregnant and considering doula services. She is kind, caring, thorough and has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to a woman's laboring body. Five minutes into our initial meeting I knew I wanted her to be my doula. She has tons of information on natural birth, labor positions and goes through all birth preferences with both parents in multiple meetings prior to the big day. She is also available by phone to discuss and address any questions/ worries that may come up as the big day approaches.
When my daughter decided to make her arrival, not everything went as planned. As I labored, I dilated quickly and then took 8 more hours to finally deliver. My baby was in an awkward position and did not want to come down even though I was 10cm dilated. The hospital was quick to suggest epidurals, pitocin etc. Elizabeth worked with my midwife, husband and doctors as an advocate for me and my original birthplace to have as natural of a birth as possible. She helped talk me off the ledge many times when I thought I wanted to give up. She was so supportive and did whatever was needed to try to keep me comfortable and encouraged (massage, acupressure to increase contractions, use of essential oils, getting me ice/ water to keep me hydrated, speaking words of encouragement and talking me through every contraction etc. etc. etc.).
She truly loves what she does and her dedication to her clients is amazing. I honestly don't know what I would have done without her love and support. I can not thank her enough for everything she has done for me and my family. Thank you Elizabeth!!!
