Testimonial for Liza Ozkay
We were expecting our first child this past summer and as we got closer to the due date, I had more anxiety about the birth process. We met Liza with only two months until our due date, and she was a huge help and relief. I finally had someone who was familiar with everything I didn't know. She listened to our needs, she explained to us what we might encounter, she toured our birth center on her own time to get a feel for the environment and ask questions as they related to our birth plan. She toured our nursery and made suggestions for things we'd need and showed us how to use the things we'd already received from friends and family.
Liza checked in with us periodically as we approached the due date and when I went into labor a week early, she came to our house and spent the night to be there for us. In the end, the birth itself was entirely different from what we had hoped for but it all turned out fine- we had a healthy baby girl- and Liza was there for every step of it, including sitting next to me through an unplanned c-section. While my husband was with our minutes old baby, it was very reassuring to have Liza there with me by my side. She continued to check in with us in the days and weeks afterward, calling and texting to see if we had questions or needed her.
Needless to say, I truly appreciated Liza's presence throughout our whole birth experience.
