Testimonial for Dawn Oliver CDI(TDA)
Being a first time Mom and choosing to have a homebirth (no drugs), I knew I needed to find an experienced Doula who could support my husband and I in our desision to have a natural private birth and who could of course support me during labor. We were truly blessed to have met Dawn Oliver early on in my pregnancy. At first meeting over the phone I felt very comfortable with Dawn. I loved how organized an professional she was and how her pricing was clear, upfront, and in writing. She was always on time to our meetings and had loads of information to share with us. All of this made my husband and I feel prepared for labor. My labor started late at night and Dawn got here shortly after my husband called her and told her I needed help. I was on the bathroom floor when she arrived trying to cope with what seemed like never ending contractions. They were already very close together and because of the pressure I did not feel I was getting any breaks in between them. Dawn took control immediately and helped me into the bathtub and coached me to regain control of my breathing and right away I started getting the breaks I needed to maintain my confidence and strength. Dawn stayed with me coaching me calmly the entire time and it was her poor hands I was squeezing when I delivered my son. I had other support people there at my birth but I have to say Dawn was all I needed at that time when it got tough. I really cannot thank her enough. I had the birth I wanted and I am not sure I could have done it the way I wanted to without her there to help me through it.
