I was anxious about the process of labor and delivery, but as soon as we met and booked Enza I felt like this was something I could do. She didn’t impose any philosophy on us. She wanted to do her best to create the kind of experience we wanted.
As labor began, it was such a relief to have an expert to call and rely on since I wasn’t sure what I was experiencing. When we were ready to go to the hospital, she met us there right away and offered wisdom, comfort, and a calming presence throughout the next 15 hours. She provided pain relief through massage and pressure point techniques. She coached me through every contraction. And she was a second trusted opinion to have in the room if there was any doubt with the medical professional. Perhaps most critically, she set a tone and provided an example for my husband, who was an excellent support person, but perhaps wouldn’t have been so steady and comforting without her as a model. Post delivery, she’s continued to be an invaluable resource to contact as questions and uncertainties rise with the care of my son and my own transforming body.
I am so glad she was part of our birthing team. I can’t recommend her enough.
