Words cannot explain how amazing Enza is! She is friendly, warm, passionate, caring and even funny (yes, we had a few laughs even during my labor). My goal was to have an intervention free birth and I felt having a doula would help my husband and I achieve our perfect birth story. We knew from our initial meeting Enza was the person we wanted with us for the birth or our son. She was amazing from my very first email all the way through pregnancy and labor to even weeks after my son was born.
As things do happen the birth of our son didn’t go as 100% planned. My water broke and contractions would not start on their own and my body needed a little assistance. I was upset because I wanted a completely unmedicated birth and especially no epidural but I felt like once the medication was started I wasn’t going to be able to fulfill my own wishes. Enza was encouraging, uplifting, attentive, reassuring and made sure we did everything in our powers to have as natural of a birth as possible even with the initial set back. On top of it all Enza was due to leave 2 minutes before my son was born (he even knew she needed to be there for his birth) and after his arrival I had to be sent to the OR for a procedure. Enza turned to me and said she wasn’t leaving my side and came to the OR with me so my husband could stay with our newly born son. My husband and I could not have done it without her and I can’t imagine not having her a part of our sons birth (so much so that we named our son after one of her sons).
