Testimonial for Dawn Oliver CDI(TDA)
I fell in love with Dawn’s grounded, wise, stable, warm, heart-centered, humorous, and calm Presence from the very start!
Dawn brings people together! She allowed me to re-unite with my husband and my mom during her birth classes when she held space for my husband’s desire to be less involved and educated my mom about home birthing.
When I was still pregnant at 42 weeks, Dawn helped me grow an uplifted, Powerful vision of birthing in the hospital. I felt empowered and at ease knowing Dawn would be with me, and hours after checking into the hospital, my “angel doula” arrived. I’d hired a midwife and another doula in anticipation of a home birth, but the only person I wanted with me was Dawn.
I achieved an unmedicated birth, and I know this wouldn’t have been possible without the unwavering support of Dawn (“you CAN do this!”). As labor intensified, she walked the halls with me, made me a bath, and gave me a tens unit. She coached me out of a moment of weakness when I said “I can’t do this.” She even disarmed my mom when my mom became hostile! Dawn ensured that what was most important to me (delayed cord cutting and newborn procedures), came true. When complications arose, Dawn sprang to action with popsicles, cold washcloths, and baggies for my nausea. Her efforts kept me conscious and helped me avoid a blood transfusion. She rallied behind me the entire time!
The Memories I have with Dawn will provide me with a Source of Joy for the rest of my Life!
Dawn was and is a God-send, and I praise the Creator for the life of Dawn Oliver! Needless to say, I highly recommend Dawn. She’s unlike any other in her calm and courage, level of experience, and strength of Heart.
