This was the second time we had the privilege of working with Enza, and she again was such a wonderful support before, during and after the birth of our daughter.We first met Enza during a childbirth class, and after hearing about her experience and meeting with other families who had worked with her, we realized we wanted to work with a doula, and we wanted to work with Enza specifically. She was literally a life-saver during our first birth as we experienced unexpected complications, and without her help, attention and advocacy, things might have been very different for our family. So it was no surprise we asked to be part of our team with our second child!
Enza was always a phone call or text away during pregnancy, and we were thankful to have someone so knowledgeable about natural childbirth. We met with Enza to go over the birth plan at 37 weeks, and talked about how we hoped this birth would go, knowing that we can't control the outcome. During labor, I greatly appreciated Enza's steadfastness and encouragement. At one point, she looked at me inbetweem contractions and said, "We are writing a new story. This is a new birth. Let go of thinking about all the things that happened last time." She was right, and her offering that perspective helped me let go of any previous worries and instead focus on birthing this baby. When our second daughter was born, it was a joyous celebration for all three of us.
Enza knows that care for a new mom doesn't end after birth. She regularly texts, calls and visits in the weeks following delivery, offering a listening ear and helpful advice, knowing that postpartum can be challenging. We so valued Enza's love, prayer, support and laughter over the past three years that we have known her and worked with her. She was and continues to be a gift to us, and we can't recommend her enough!
