Testimonial for Ellen Hsu (Mandarin/English)
I am glad that I had Ellen as my doula to support myself and my family. Ellen has been a great help during my pregnancy and a strong support to myself and my family when I was in labor. Ellen and I worked together on my birth plan, and followed up with me on a weekly basis in my third trimester to get an update from me after my weekly OB appointments. I was well prepared for what would come next. After my water broke, I got accepted by the hospital - Ellen arrived at 10PM on Friday when I just started to feel the cramps from labor. She taught and helped me by using non-medical method to ease the pain with encouraging words and clear instructions. She also stayed at the hospital for the entire night even though I was not yet in active labor. When I was in active labor the next day, she was with me for the whole time and provied both morale support and professional service, espeically when complications occurred. Ellen was eventually with me in the OR per my request as I felt that she would watch out for me and my baby.
Ellen is fun to work with, and is good with communication in a timely and responsive manner. She's proficient in both English and Mandarin, and is capable of interpreting medical terms to human language. Being a mom herself, she cares a lot about moms and newborns and is very commited to the work that she's doing. I would definitely recommend her to my friends and mom-to-bes.
