Testimonial for Elizabeth Marks

Beth provided support as both my birth and postpartum doula. She actually was my backup birth doula after our original doula got sick, and how lucky was I! As a nervous first time mom having a hospital birth I couldn't have asked for anyone better. Beth met us at the hospital at about 3:30am with all the tools needed to address my back labor. The rebozo was an absolute godsend. Her calm, warm, kind and patient demeanor was everything I needed during my birth. She also captured beautiful photos that I'll cherish for life. Beth was integral in assisting our baby boy to latch within the first hour of his life, truly kicking off our breastfeeding journey. I'm proud to say that 4 months in, we are still exclusively breastfeeding despite various challenges, thanks to Beth and her troubleshooting and encouragement. Beth came for a visit 2 days postpartum to debrief on the birth and to talk about postpartum support. Just a few weeks later after my husband returned to work, I realized how much I needed that support and immediately reconnected with Beth. Beth supported us for several weeks and I can confidently say that I could not have navigated the newborn stage with confidence (or as much as a FTM could have!) without her. From walks with us, helping with household tasks, groceries, naps, basic baby care, and more, Beth was there are ready to help. I am forever grateful for all the support she provided our little family. I would strongly encourage any mom, and especially new moms, seek Beth's support because she truly provides the comfort, knowledge, resources and honestly, sanity, needed during and after birth.
