Testimonial for Elise Benoit
I am not sure how I would have made it through labor with out Elise. Even before labor she was so helpful between meetings at our house where she prepared us for what was to come to my many texts during several nights of false labor. She was so supportive and eased my worries. I remember wanting a doula because I have trust issues with hospitals due to my dad dying from malpractice over 10 years ago. I knew that I would being putting too much stress on my husband to make sure I was being taken care of since we both had no idea what to expect. It was so helpful to be able to look to her and hear things were okay. Before I got the epidural I was in a lot of pain with back labor. I probably killed Elise's hands because she gave constant counter pressure which was the only thing that eased the pain. I remember my husband and my mom taking turns trying to do the same thing and they could never find the right placement or pressure. She has a magical way of making you feel instantly comfortable with her too. We will definitely be hiring her again for baby number 2 in the future!
