Testimonial for Elise Benoit
Elise was my post partum doula. I had met with her before my baby was born and was very excited to have her there to help me! I felt an immidate click with Elise. She checked in with me right after my baby was born to make sure all was good and to see when I would like her help. She had dropped off my encapsulated placenta pills within a few days, which was wonderful! She made sure to go through the how to's and help me get started. She was always there for me when I texted her and needed help or advice. She came over to my house numerous times and was VERY helpful!! Everything from just holding my baby and giving me a break, to cleaning the dirty dishes in my sink, and even helping me clean and vaccuum my first floor! She was a trooper when she helped clean my playroom, just to watch my toddler destroy it 2 minutes later. It gave me such relief knowing that Elise was coming over! Just having another person, and adult to talk to, was exactly what I needed! My husband would go to work, but I felt comfortable with a crazy toddler and a newborn, knowing Elise was coming to help! She was very flexible in arranging times to come over and was always very punctual and stayed to make sure I was feeling OK and ready to take on the rest of the day. We found out my baby girl had a dairy and soy intollerance and Elise was there the next day to help me figure out how to go grocery shopping, how to modify recipes, what restaurants I can safely go to, and so much more! She always had a plethora of resources including amazing mom blogs and pinterest pages for me to follow. Having high anxiety, I was thrilled to have Elise there to help me. She was always there with an open ear to be the voice of reason. She made me feel comfortable knowing I could reach out to her for anything and she would be there for me.
