Testimonial for Elizabeth Guerra, CLC, PCD(DONA)
My experience with Elizabeth is one that I will never forget. She guided me through contractions and helped me with exercises to help my baby get into position. She was able to guide my mother and husband with ways to help me labor as I wanted them close. She explained to them how to rub me and what would help, keeping her focus on my needs and always being steps ahead.
By the end of the day I was so exhausted - I told her I felt like I needed to sleep so she comforted me, put on some soothing music, made sure I was as comfortable as possible while she slept beside me. In the early morning my contractions began to highten and began to get really close to each other so Elizabeth knew it was almost time. We headed to the birthing center where my midwife recommended I do a Miles Cricut. HARDEST THING I'VE EVER DONE LOL! Again, Elizabeth guided me through each exercise. During one of the exercises I felt the need to push. I knew what it was and Elizabeth quickly called over the midwife who checked and felt my babys head. It was time!
My pushing began and Elizabeth read the room and yet again guided my husband to help me! Elizabeth stayed a few hours after birth and coached me on my new baby.
I really feel that if it wasn't for Elizabeth I may not have had such an amazing experience with my labor. She was able to detect my needs and didn't make any moves without consulting me first. I truly felt as if Elizabeth managed my support system to better assist me at a time where I wasnt even sure of what I needed. My experience with her was nothing short of amazing and I would highly Recommend her to any mother who is interested in a doula. I hope to work with her again someday when I have my second child!
thank you Liz!!!
