Testimonial for Audrea Blayer, CD(DONA)
My wife and I are new to the Mechanicsburg area as of July 2016. We got pregnant in August and decided that we needed to find a doula. After reaching out to some local birth care support services Audrea and several other doulas were referred to us through email. Audrea was quick to reach out to us and gave a very thorough and detailed response to our inquiry. She sounded like a perfect match for us so we set up an in person meeting whicb went very well. Things we liked best about Audrea were 1) her vast and recent experience with natural birthing, 2) her familiarity with local hospitals, and 3) she was totally on board with all of our natural birthing choices.
We did not set up another in person session until the birth, but Audrea was very good about staying in touch via email and text to make sure we were doing ok and to answer any questions we had leading up to the birth. Audrea was always quick to respond and was very thorough and supportive in her responses.
When we went into labor I called Audrea at about 1:30 AM on the morning of Sunday, May 7. Audrea answered on the second ring and she was at the hospital within 40 minutes! Wow! Audrea came fully prepared with everything that we may need during the birth, including an array of snacks for my wife.
This is the point where Audrea REALLY made herself valuable to us because she became our personal birthing assistant and we SO APPRECIATED having her in the room with us while the nurses and doctors were coming in and out sporadically. Audrea did an AMAZING JOB working with my wife, massaging her back, answering questions, helping with trips to the bathroom, etc. She truly helped with the pain during contractions in a meaningful way and my wife cannot say enough about how helpful she was! She was truly a difference maker - we know we made the right choice with her!!
Audrea hung in there to the very end and FULLY EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS! We will always be grateful for Audrea!
