Testimonials
The support of Aneliz as my doula was integral. I felt really supported in all areas: physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Her presence and support brought peace to me and my partner. She added to our experience something invaluable, something that the hospital system couldn’t provide us.
Maria M.
For me the presence of Aneliz was priceless, her experience with labor and her experience inside and outside the health system were very important and reassuring. Aneliz also brings her Christian Faith into the process, which for my wife and I was extremely helpful. Also, her Spanish speaking was hugely helpful for my wife. We can´t recommend her enough.
