Testimonial for Elizabeth Guerra, CLC, CD (DTI), PCD(DONA)

I cannot recommend Liz enough. My husband and I are so grateful to have found her for our homebirth. Having Liz there made the whole experience so much more stress-free and peaceful. She is a true professional, educated, and an absolute pleasure to work with. She is amazing.

What originally drew me to work with Liz is how calming her presence was. I can be somewhat all over the place but her energy relaxed mine and that was exactly what I needed during labor. The more we worked together the more I realized how great she was.

One of the things I found extremely valuable was the fact that she made sure my husband and I were both educated on the entire birthing experience. This eliminated a lot of the fear that we had and made sure we understood what was going to or could happen. It was great to know how my labor was progressing due to certain indicators and that was all thanks to Liz.

During the actual labor she proved again that we were correct with wanting to work with her. My husband and I were SO grateful she was there. A few things that stood out:

* she was easy to contact and quick to respond when we messaged her early in the morning that labor had begun

* When she got to our home she was very observant of my labor cues and what was needed

* She took responsibility of all communications with our midwife which allowed my husband to focus on me.

There were also little details like:

* rubbing my back during contractions * taking pictures (I wouldn't have had any if not for her)

* reminding me of the proper breathing techniques when the contractions were intense

* made sure I was hydrated

* she also looked over my husband and made sure he was also ok.

To conclude: she was absolutely perfect. I could go on forever. She was everything I could have hoped for and more. I have and will continue to recommend her to everyone!
