Testimonial for Elizabeth Velasquez
I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with Liz as my doula. She was my doula for the birth of my second baby, and we discussed in depth beforehand what my hopes were for this labor and delivery. After a traumatic experience with my first, I had a lot of apprehensions about labor with my second. One of the reasons I chose Liz as my doula was her similar experience of a not-great first birth where unexpected complications arose, but having a transformative experience with her second. I was hopeful to have a similar outcome, and I'm so relieved and happy to report that I did. Liz was very understanding and supportive throughout the entire process. I very much appreciate how she made the effort to do so much more than simply develop a birth plan - she listened to my story and really wanted to share an understanding of my expectations and outlook. At the birth itself, I couldn't have asked for a better person in the room. She was extremely supportive of both me and my husband while remaining calm and grounded. Labor is extremely difficult, but I was comforted again and again by having her to assure me that I was doing a great job and that things were progressing. I also appreciate that she was comfortable in a medical setting and communicated confidently and respectfully with hospital staff on my behalf. I would absolutely recommend Liz to anyone considering hiring a doula. If I were to have another baby I would choose her again in a heartbeat!
