Testimonial for Elizabeth Oldham CD(DONA), HCHD, HBCE
Upon interviewing Liz, my husband and I were struck by her combination of experience, competence, humor, and warmth. This first impression was confirmed time and time again during the hypnobirth classes she led and a labor extending over several days in hospital. When I was diagnosed with preeclampsia and admitted to hospital for an induction a day after my baby was due, I was scared and disappointed that the birth would not unfold as I had hoped. Fortunately, Liz provided a reassuring presence, drawing on her extensive experience to walk us through how things might proceed during the induction and bringing us back to the lessons we had learned in her classes. Looking back, I'm amazed that, thanks in great part to Liz's presence and expertise, there were times of fun and even joy during an otherwise challenging 5-day induction process. In those long days, Liz was available whenever we needed her help. She even remained in the hospital for the final 24 hours of the induction, working harmoniously with hospital clinicians, with whom she has great relationships and a stellar reputation. If you're looking for someone who will provide both emotional support when you're struggling and the experience to help you think through some tough decisions, Liz is the best of the best.
