Testimonial for Dawn Oliver CDI(TDA)
Dawn was an amazing Doula. We were preparing to have our first child and we were looking for someone who was going to be kind, calming, super supportive and intuitive of our needs, especially since we did not even know what these would be. Dawn fit all of this criteria and more. We knew we wanted to work with her as soon as we met her. She was friendly, knowledgeable and very personable at our consultation. She made herself available through texts and phone calls and checked in on me often. She was wonderful. During labor she helped with each and every contraction. Since I was having back labor, Dawn used massage techniques to ease the pain and discomfort in my lower back and sacrum. Without this support I'm not sure I would have lasted the nearly 24 hours of labor that I had without an epidural. I also believe her calming presence during labor was so vital for keeping my husband and I calm throughout the whole thing. After the baby was born, Dawn checked in on me to make sure I was doing ok and to see if I had questions, etc. We also had the pleasure of having Dawn come to the house for a 4 hour post partum visit. When we were picking our package we weren't sure that we would need this since my husband is home during the day. Well, I'm so glad we got the package with the post partum visit. Not only did Dawn ask how she could help, she also took it upon herself to find things to do that would be helpful to us. By her coming over, it also gave my husband a chance to get out of the house for a bit and run some errands. Since our last visit Dawn has continued to make herself available through text and email. We are so glad we chose Dawn as our doula and will absolutely want her again when we are ready to have our second child.
