Elyse and Shelby are wonderful. They are so knowledgable and empathetic. We would recommend them to anyone who needs a little extra support during the birth process.
We initally had reservations about hiring a doula for our first baby because we didn't know what to expect but now having gone through it, we highly reccomend hiring a doula, especially Elyse and Shelby. First off, it's great that they operate as a team. It makes them so reliable when things don't go as planned. In our case, a surprise induction at NYU Langone posed some challenges and at times it felt like the hospital lacked a human touch. Having Doulas like Elyse and Shelby a phone call away made the whole experience better. We felt like we could advocate for ourselves with their support.
They both have a keen sense for when to step in and help. It's comforting to have such competent and capable people supporting you as you deal with the unknown. Once again, we cannot recommend them enough. Elyse and Shelby are awesome.
