Testimonial for Dawne Herbert-Withers, MSW, CD(DONA), HCHD, CLE
From the first time I met Dawne, through the preparation of our birth, my labor and delivery and even until today 4.5 months after my birth, my experience has always been absolutly amazing!
I can assure you that you won't be disappointed if you hire Dawne, she cares a great deal about her clients, she goes above and beyond to make you feel important and involove your signafant other in the creation of your birthing plan. The time leading up to my birth and during my labor she was respectful of our families wishes and did her best to help us reach our goals.
My labor progressed very quickly and intensly and I was not able to follow my birth plan how I planned, but my decision to have an epidural was the right choice for me and ultimately I gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Dawne stuck by my side the entire way, never passing judgement and continually kept my birth plan in mind so we could still try to incorporate as much of it as possible. During my labor she worked with the nurses, gave my husband a break to run out to get our bags, massaged my feet and other general support. While pushing she took some priceless photos of our son being born! Before she left for the night, she helped with breast feeding and establishing that first latch. I also hired Dawne to encapsuate my placenta and make raw smoothies, she brought the smoothies to my home fresh multiple times and made the cutest package with instructions for taking my placenta pills.
I feel very fortunate to had as my doula and have apprecaited all of her advice and support as I transitioned into motherhood. You won't regret hiring Dawne, good luck mama!
