Testimonial for Anointed Births
Elizabeth was such a blessing to have alongside our journey from 24 weeks to now postpartum. We stumbled across her page anointed births from an Instagram ad and sent out a message- within an hour we already had a virtual meet and greet scheduled the same day to answer any questions I had about doula care and pregnancy. We wound up signing up for her hypnobirthing course and eventually hired her to be our doula.
Doula care- Being my partner and I's first pregnancy, everything surrounding physiologic/ natural birth was very daunting and it's hard to get support when you conclude this is what you're looking for. Elizabeth always had an answer to my questions and concerns and made me feel secure in my choices emotionally and physically. I bothered her via message and phone calls probably more than I should have but she was always there for me and never made me feel like an annoyance to her. She genuinely felt like a lifelong friend since the beginning.
The birth of our daughter- fast forward to 40 weeks pregnancy, I was experiencing some complications and had to go in for an unplanned induction. At the start of the process I panicked and started begging for an epidural (which I had long been against) but my partner called Elizabeth and she was there within minutes. She changed the environment immediately to what she knew I wanted and my whole experience changed. I labored unmedicated to 7 cm with her and my partners support.
Our l&d nurse (whom at first didn't seem to have high hopes of things working out naturally without pushing pitocin) changed her tone once she noticed things were progressing, and fast. She changed her tone to mimic Elizabeth and even started referring to my contractions as surges. Not only did Elizabeth provide emotional and environmental support during my labor, she also helped change my pads and keep me clean when I wasn't able to do so myself.
