Testimonial for Enza Lilley
Working with Enza was absolutely wonderful. Pregnant with our first child, I knew I wanted to birth with a midwife and a doula, and had plans to attempt an unmedicated birth. As often happens with labor, my plans didn't exactly pan out. I ended up being induced at 37 weeks for low fluid. It took DAYS to get labor started (my body clearly wasn't ready yet). Enza stayed in touch with us via phone and text during my induction, and was ready and willing to come to the hospital anytime we needed her. Once I was finally in a more active (but early) labor pattern, we called for her to come to the hospital and it was a such a relief when she arrived. She coached and supported me and my husband through each contraction, helped me to relax, encouraged me, provided direction and focus, and helped us negotiate all the cords and IV fluids required during an induction. She was tireless in her support. When I decided I wanted an epidural, I never felt like she was judging me or disappointed - she affirmed that my decision was my own to make and the right one for me under the circumstances. She was at my side when I pushed our baby girl out, when I hemmoraged post partum and needed to have a painful clot extraction (YIKES!), and as I recovered and initiated breastfeeding. All of this would've been more than enough to recommend her, but her support of us continued on long after labor was over. I probably texted her a hundred times in the days and weeks following our daughter's birth. I was so overhwhelmed as a new mom with a beautiful but colicky newborn - Enza patiently listened, encouraged and supported me through that stage as well. She prayed for us and loved us so well. I simply can't say enough. If you have the chance to work with Enza, you will not be disappointed. She was (and continues to be) a gift to my family.
