Testimonial for Audrea Blayer, CD(DONA)
You should hire Audrea as your doula! Our story goes like this: Our original doula had to tend to a family emergency a few weeks prior to my due date and suspended her services to all clients. Being that this was my third kid, I was back and forth about whether we should go ahead and consider another doula (Audrea) or not. At this point we had already met and with and solidified birth plans with original doula (who was also our souls for our other two births. With only a few weeks left to go, I felt like starting from scratch would be too overwhelming. But boy, I am glad I took a leap of faith. Audrea worked efficiently and quickly with us. She made us feel like I was top priority by making herself available to us through text and FaceTime. Because of time and distance, the face time option was essential! When it was “go-time” we still hadn’t formally met Audrea in person but honestly, had already felt like I had known her for years. Audrea talked me through (via text) my false labor, and eventually my early labor, and through transition until arriving at hospital. Once at the hospital things went very fast. We arrived first and got situated. Audrea and my husband made an excellent team when the contractions intensified the time came to push. Audrea helped me to use positive affirmations and Vocabulary to help me progress through my contractions. She helped My husband with hand positions for massages. She helped me how to breath and how to effectively use/conserve my energy. After the birth she stayed and chatted with us, helped answer nurses questions in regards to vaccinations and procedures. When I was on the fence about medical decisions, she was careful not to project her own opinions, but sent me unbiased information online to read so we could decide for ourselves. Audrea is a one In a million doula. If I was crazy enough to have a fourth child, she’d be the first one I’d call after finding out.
