After a traumatic first birth, I knew I wanted someone by my side to help with my second. Elizabeth provided everything I needed to feel empowered throughout the whole experience. We met in person, and I immediately felt a wave of relief, knowing I'd have someone in my corner to help me advocate for what I wanted. The very best part was taking Elizabeth's Hypnobirthing classes. They were virtual yet very effective. We did some fear release sessions to help rid of past trauma that could hinder my plans for natural birth. I felt prepared for the birth of my second son in a way I never felt for my first. On the day I went into labor, 2 weeks early, Elizabeth showed up to our home and immediately went into action. She coached me through the waves of labor until my water broke. She sat with me in the bathroom as I soaked in my tub for relief. She provided an energy that was so calming. The "laborade" she had me drink worked its magic during this time. As contractions picked up, she had me call the midwife, and together, we headed to the hospital. The oils, the massages, hydrotherapy, and especially the Hypnobirthing allowed me to endure 16 hours of unmedicated labor. I felt incredibly blessed to have Elizabeth by my side during this time. The baby unfortunately went into distress as I approached the time to push, and we ended up in an emergency cesarean. Elizabeth was texting right after the birth to check in. She also came to our home to assist with breastfeeding once we were settled. Although the birth didn't end up the way I wanted it, I was still able to feel successful with everything Elizabeth taught me. Thank you, Elizabeth, for helping me bring my miracle baby into this world. I love you! ??
