Testimonial for Enza Lilley
Thank you Enza! Overall, I can't say enough good things about our experience before, during and after our daughter's birth! Enza was a positive, joyful presence. She helped me to truly enjoy every minute!
I was introduced to Enza through my care providers. They gave a glowing reccomendation of her services as a birth doula. We met for an interview where I was able to ask all my questions and get a good sense of who Enza is as a person. I found her to be genuinely interested, caring and professional. I selected her because of these qualities and her years of experience. I took home a contract that day and I mailed it to her with a deposit once I had decided to hire her.
We met again two times before the due date. The first time Enza guided me through making a birth plan/wish list. This got me to think about some things that I hadn't considered and helped Enza to know what I was hoping for in my delivery experience. She was very clear about what she ususally does to assist in birth and she fully answered all of my questions.
Throughout the pregnancy, Enza was responsive and proactive both reaching out and staying in touch with me. This includes afterwards when she visited in the hospital and later, a home visit.
The day of the birth was exceptionally good! Enza was prompt, arriving at the hospital only a few minutes after I did. She stayed for the entire labor. There were several of our family members and care providers in the room and she was calm and friendly with all of them. She suggested various positions to me throughout the labor to ease the contractions and help the baby come out when it was time. She played music that I was comfortable with, kept the lights low and offered plenty of encouragement! Enza is also hands-on to help make the labor easier and more pleasant.
If I had to do this birth again, I would do it exactly the same way!
