Testimonial for Dawn Smith
I am pleased to share my experience with Dawn during pregnancy and birth. First, overall, it was an absolute pleasure to work with her. My husband and I met her during my pregnancy for the initial meeting, then a second visit to discuss the birth plan.She also kept in contact via text to ask how I was doing. She is non-judgmental and open to all birth plan ideas. Dawn is quiet, relaxed and a positive demeanor during all of our conversations. It put me at ease because I'm, at times, anxious, and I have an insatiable need to plan out everything. She is also a mother. While that is not required experience to have an excellent doula, I believe it added to her success in being the support we, my husband and I, needed during birth. During labor and birth, She had an instinct for what to do and when to do it. I did not have to ask!!! It was simply done with this quick, silent ninja-like execution. Having never been in labor before, I quickly found how much I loved her method. I was not interested in a bunch of chitchat and was not managing anything other than the contractions.The rest of our birth team had to divide their time between me and another woman who had just given birth. That made her the steady support I needed, and it gave my husband a much needed break. Dawn made ALL the difference in helping to bring our son into the world. I can't recommend her enough.
