Testimonial for Elizabeth Oldham CD(DONA), HCHD, HBCE
Liz was my doula for the births of both of my daughters and my hypnobirthing instructor, and I could not recommend her more. She brought an incredible calmness and peaceful energy to the whole birth preparation and birthing experience, both through her hypnobirthing instruction and her support as a doula before and during birth. When I had discouraging doctors appointments with doctors who tried to steer me away from the type of birth I wanted, Liz was there to remind me that I was strong and my body was capable. When things didn't always go according to plan during labor, Liz was calm and supportive of my needs and choices. She had great recommendations for positions and approaches to manage surges, and was supportive when I decided I wanted an epidural -- it really was all about the type of birth experience I wanted. The breathing techniques Liz taught me also helped me have very short pushing stages of labor both times.
In the end I had two empowering, successful births where I felt in control and calm the whole time -- and Liz is a big part of making that possible. I think everyone should have a doula with them when giving birth, and I can't say enough great things about Liz in particular. I always felt at ease and empowered with her.
