Testimonial for Elise Benoit

I cannot say enough about how wonderful it was to have Elise as our doula.  I knew early on that I wanted a doula in the delivery room, so I started searching before the end of the first trimester.  We met with a few other women before meeting with Elise, and we clicked so well with her during that first meeting that we signed the contract then and there.

Elise went out of her way to check in with us regularly even before the 20-week ultrasound.  I love and trust my OB, but Elise provided tons of extra information that I didn't even know I needed.  I had a few health complications in the second and third trimesters, and Elise was always there to offer comfort and guidance.  And when I reached out to her with what turned out to be false labor in the last 2-3 weeks before our baby girl was born, Elise was nothing but patient - and even helped me laugh through my frustration!

When I was admitted to the hospital, Elise was there within the hour to support both my husband and me.  She made sure that we both ate and stayed hydrated to keep our strength up, brought lights and candles to make the hospital feel a little less impersonal, walked through the hospital with me to help move the baby down, and helped my husband with hip squeezes for HOURS - all so that I could have the natural birth that I wanted.

Elise remained there there for us when I had some breastfeeding issues in the first few days after the baby's birth.  She came by after we returned home, too - and even impressed my mother with her swaddling technique.

If we decide to have a second child, then I will definitely be calling Elise again!
