Testimonial for Dawn Oliver CDI(TDA)
Dawn is awesome! Preparing for birth, early labor, delivery, post partum care, and everything in between, Dawn is the person you'd want by your side.
Her calm voice kept me grounded. Her questions weren't leading questions that manage to judge you, they were informative and built you up.
She respected and supported my instincts as a mother doing what I thought was best for me and my child. And, she involved my husband as much as possible everything we did. Much of her assistance was through my husband, coaching him to help me.
We wanted a doula in case my husband deployed, or was otherwise unavailable due to military obligations. Dawn really set my mind at rest, even with the unknowns of military timing. That means a lot coming from a first time mom half a continent away from family and good friends!
We learned much from her class series, felt comfortable with her during early labor at home, smoothly transitioned to the hospital, she was a source of encouragement as my husband assisted me when I couldn't always verbalize what I needed, she took pictures of our first meeting, quietly left us to bond when she was no longer needed, and to wrap the whole experience up, she left our little family with a full freezer of frozen meals and empty hampers of laundry a month after baby was born.
Dawn's experience really shown through. She has a whole toolbox full of tricks, insights, and comfort. I highly encourage at least interviewing her for being a doula of your birth experience to see for yourself!
