Testimonial for Elizabeth Clark
Words cannot describe the gratitude I feel towards Elizabeth. Elizabeth is a very special person and one of the best doulas, in my opinion, in the world. This was my second birth - my first ended up with a C-section. I wasn't prepared, I didn't have a doula and didn't know how to advocate for myself. This time, I was determined to do it differently. I hired Elizabeth pretty early on in my second pregnancy after interviewing other wonderful doulas. However, Elizabeth really stood out to me with her approach to client selection, understanding of birth, drive to constantly learn and I am so grateful I went with my gut to hire her.
At around 34 weeks, it was pretty clear that my little babe is going to be breech. I switched providers and learned about breech VBAC - all thanks to Elizabeth. She was by my side every step of the way and I felt incredibly supported. One of the many things that's amazing is Elizabeth really did a terrific job educating me about breech birth and what I should expect. Both my husband and I love her and felt so so supported by her throughout the pregnancy. She also made me think of what's important to me even outside of what I have already highlighted. The education she provides ahead of time is unparalleled!
Then it came time for birth! She answered her phone in the middle of the night, was so thoughtful and helpful during the early labor and then delivery! She advocated for me (I thought I could myself but there is no way you can during active labor), made sure I get the best care, got golden hour and everything else I wanted and needed. She also is amazing at getting what her client wants without being disruptive during birth. She just makes the whole birth team feel relaxed and welcoming.
Elizabeth, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for being by my side as I brought this amazing human being earth side. I wouldn't have done it without you!
