Testimonial for Audrea Blayer, CD(DONA)

Audrea was our doula for the birth of Jadon, our first child. We were new to the birthing process, and really wanted a natural birth, if at all possible. Let me tell you a bit (from a dad's perspective) about how Audrea was an AMAZING doula.

She came prepared with a wealth of knowledge, compassion, and a willingness to support my wife Hannah (of course!), and also provided me with "on-the-job" instruction on how to help me be a great birth partner to Hannah. At one point, Audrea was showing me where to massage Hannah's back while she provided counter pressure on Hannah's hips.

During the labor process, Audrea was an excellent advocate for Hannah's desire to have an unmedicated birth that was as free of medical interventions as possible. Our birth took place in a hospital setting with nurses that were somewhat skeptical of the role of a doula, and Audrea was able advocate for us and do in a way that won over the support of nurses. The bottom line: Audrea helped Hannah have the birth she wanted.

She was so thoughtful and offered to run out to tell family even as Hannah and I were overcome with emotion soon after the birth of our son - she supported and helped us when we needed help without any agenda of her own.

Finally, her after-birth support is a tremendous blessing and priceless! Whether it was a breastfeeding issue, sleeping tips, or even just moral support, she was there for my wife and I, and made the birth and afterwards a whole lot smoother!

We both highly, highly, highly recommend Audrea as a doula!
