Testimonial for Elyse Pitock
We are so glad that we were able to work with Elyse for the birth of our second baby! Even though we were already familiar with the birthing process, we knew we wanted additional support and guidance through the support of a doula again. From the moment we connected with her, Elyse brought a calm and down-to-earth energy that made us feel at ease.
Elyse was instrumental in helping us navigate important decisions both in the lead-up to and during labor. Her knowledge and comforting presence while early laboring at home was a welcomed presence, and her familiarity with navigating L&D teams in NYC were invaluable, especially when it came to advocating for our preferences in the delivery room. She seamlessly communicated with the nurses and helped us feel heard and respected throughout the entire process. Having her with us in the delivery room also gave us the ability to focus on the moment, knowing that we had someone on our side who truly understood our needs. She additionally empowered my husband to confidently voice our wishes to the hospital staff, who in turn were able to more adequately offer care options that worked. Between it all she ensured that we had the birthing experience we sought for.
A doula is such a key partner in one of the most important moments of your life and we are so glad we got to work with Elyse. She handled many hats—a confidant, a focused guide, a teacher, and best of all and advocate. We are incredibly grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to any expecting parents.
