Testimonial for Elizabeth Clark
My second-time birth & postpartum experience would not have been as peaceful of a journey were it not for Elizabeth's part in it. I hired her on fairly early in my pregnancy because I was nervous about being pregnant with a second baby while raising a toddler- particularly during COVID- in addition to concerns that I had about the delivery and postpartum anxiety that I experienced with my firstborn. Lizzie supported me throughout my entire pregnancy through my fourth trimester, helping me to feel more relaxed and educated about how to create a peaceful and healthy pregnancy in the midst of what would have otherwise been a very chaotic time.
What drew me to her initially was her passion for her work and her drive to create an experience that went beyond what anybody else was offering. Between her weekly interviews with other birth workers, prenatal yoga classes, and a perfect balance of both evidence-based and intuitive/personal knowledge, the support I received from her was invaluable.
When it came time to bring my son into the world, she was so supportive and helpful as I went into labor on my own (which I did not get to experience with my daughter), and worked with the nurses to meet my baby boy. As a matter of fact, even the nurses complimented me on my choice of doula.
My partner was also able to enjoy both my pregnancy and my birth experience much more having Lizzie's support, which is also something that I felt was SO helpful because it allowed us to both feel more connected and confident as parents. She made it a point to include him in every possible conversation and prep-session because a doula should not just support the Mamas, and she was amazing at keeping Dad actively involved. This was especially important to me during COVID because Dad wasn't allowed to join me for any of my doctor visits, and I am eternally grateful to Lizzie for making sure that he was still a physical and emotional part of our pregnancy.
