Testimonial for Candice Enriquez CD(DONA), CCht
I started working with Candice in November of 2023 for the expected arrival of our baby girl in May 2024. Leading up to our daughter's birth, my husband and I did one on one sessions with Candice in preparation for labor. We learned so much from these intimate interactions and were in the comfort of our own home. We were given "homework assignments" and daily practices to get the best labor experience as we could - I truly feel these activities played a huge role in preparing me emotionally and physically for birthing our daughter. In addition to this, if I ever needed to vent, get advice, etc. Candice was just a phone call away to chat throughout our birth prep window. It was comforting knowing that I had someone that knows birth well in my circle.
When I started to experience surges, I stayed in constant communication with Candice and after about 3 hours she came to our house, made the call that we should go to the hospital, and then followed us there. In the 12 hours it took to welcome our baby girl into the world Candice never left my side, gave me the tough love I told her I would likely need when times got tough, but most importantly compassionately gave me the comfort and support I needed to ultimately have an unmedicated birth. It was in the moments that she would lock eyes with me and say, "this is temporary and you will get through this" that I would find just a little more strength to get through the next surge. I would highly recommend Candice as a doula and if the universe decides our family will expand we will definitely use her again. I am extremely grateful for the time, compassion, and knowledge Candice provided both myself and my husband in preparation for and during the birth of our daughter. We are so blessed to have had our paths cross!
