Testimonial for Dawn Oliver CDI(TDA)

My experience with Dawn as my doula was amazing! I am a mom of three and I wanted a non-medicated birth this time around. Hiring a doula made a great difference in the birthing atmosphere. I would have not been able to get through the birthing experience without her.
After the initial interview I knew right away that Dawn was the doula I would hire. She was friendly, relatable, down to earth and I felt very comfortable with her. She always drove to my house which made it easier for me because I homeschool my kids. So I didn't have to lug my crew around!
The second meeting Dawn brought a gift bag with anti- nausea candy, sample lotions, soaps, lanolin cream and coupons. She explained the various pain relieving techniques she could use. Her kindness and thoughtfulness was also expressed when she bought Dunkin Donut munchkins for the kids!
The weeks before giving birth Dawn would send me several emails and text messages to check on my well being. She was always available and responded promptly to any questions that I had.
It was very early in the morning when Dawn received a phone call from me stating that it was time. She stayed on the phone with me through several contractions to determine how ready I was. She arrived at the hospital even before me! During the labor and delivery she was able to relieve a lot of pain with back massages. She encouraged me with her positive and calm spirit. With her attentiveness she knew when I was transitioning and when to call in the midwife. The midwives and nurses at the hospital loved her and would like to work with her more frequently. They asked me to include her name on their website. The labor went by so quickly that we didn't get the chance to use other pain relieving techniques. She made my birthing experience smooth and peaceful.
I would highly recommend Dawn Oliver for any doula services that you may consider.
