Testimonial for Enza Lilley
Enza is wonderful. The moment we met her, we knew that she would provide a supportive presence during our birth -- and when the time came, she soared above and beyond our expectations. In our 3rd trimester meetings, she became very familiar with our desires, and she also gave us a clear picture of what to expect during labor. We're first time parents, and we had very few ideas about how we wanted our labor to go -- this did not faze her, and she was able to ask the necessary questions in order to guide us toward a vision.
Of course, birth is unpredictable, and I had to make a few big and unexpected decisions during labor. Enza was right there by my side, and made me feel validated and supported in my choices. There is not an ounce of judgment in her being. I also went through several phases of emotion -- there were times when I needed to cry, times when I needed to meditate, and times when I needed to laugh out loud -- and she adapted to all of it, building a space where I could be expressive in exactly the ways I needed to.
Whe was also a very important presence for my husband -- she made sure he was eating and napping, recognizing that he, too, was about to become a new (and probably sleep deprived) parent.
Finally, what is extra special about Enza is that she's been here for us since the birth. Our son was born ten days ago, and we've received daily texts from her checking in and making sure we're doing okay. When I think about our experience with labor and delivery, I will always remember Enza's kindness, support, humor, and grit. She is incredible, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her as a doula.
