I sought support for my pregnancy and necessary birth partner to help me through this important life event, given that the other parent wasn’t involved. For such a special occasion I had to find the perfect fit. With research and interviews, Audra was just that “perfect.” Audra’s calm and assuring demeanor, vast experience and advocacy guided my birthing experience wonderfully.
I wanted to attempt a VBAC. The process of birthing in a hospital is always intrusive. I needed Audra’s support to advocate for less invasive hospital staff monitoring in order to achieve as much of natural childbirth as possible.
After three children I’ve learned that having a Doula in any setting whether a hospital or home is extremely beneficial to the mother, family members and newborn. I benefitted from Audra’s support as she provided options, suggestions and implemented solutions to make my birthing experience less overwhelming. Audra focused on my needs and those of my family members as well. That which I was most grateful for was her personal care to my oldest son. In addition, as a personal touch, Audra created a beautiful memory art piece as a gift.
Audra provided postpartum care visits were extremely welcome at which she assisted in breastfeeding, providing and teaching me infant massage.
I highly recommend Audra, she works as your Doula yet leaves as a trusted friend.
