Testimonial for Audrea Blayer, CD(DONA)

I highly recommend Audrea for any future birthing experience. She made our birthing experience with our second child one of the most memorable and exciting times in our lives, and truly something we will never forget. From the moment I met her months before my actual birth we clicked immediately. She is caring, loving, funny, spiritual, and very knowledgeable. I enjoyed the months we had prior to the actual delivery. We had constant communication, and I felt more than confident and ready to deliver based upon the resources, knowledge, and recommendations she gave me prior to the arrival of our baby. The day I went into labor she was there immediately and ready to stay for the duration. She was able to help me get through 20+ hours of labor. All of her natural techniques helped to ease my pain and contractions. We had a lot of bonding and very hilarious moments throughout the day. I actually feel like we laughed more than anything else that day. There are many things that I love that she was able to do, but one of the best things I felt like she was able to do was to fight for what I wanted. For example, my labor was not progressing as quickly as we had hoped for, and one of the nurses suggested that I should go home. Well you can imagine after already being in the hospital for 15+ hours that was not going to be an option for me. Audrea calmly went out into the hallway and spoke to the nurses and the midwife and within minutes the midwife came into the room and suggested that we break my water. From that moment on things progressed quickly but I love that she knew what I wanted and needed and didn't take no for an answer. Another thing I cherished is how Audrea and my husband bonded more than I ever thought they possibly could. I was able to deliver my baby naturally and if I could do it all over again I would only choose Audrea to go through the birthing experience??????
