Testimonial for Audrea Blayer, CD(DONA)
I knew after quite a traumatic experience with the birth of my first that I wanted a doula for my second - if not for anything else but for some reassurance that I have/had control over the birth. My first time speaking to Audrea I felt comfortable immediately (and it was on the phone)! Our second meeting was face to face and with my husband - she answered all of our questions and truly wanted to get to know us and what we envisioned during this pregnancy and birth. Due to my little one having a growth restriction in the womb, I was constantly at the doctors during my pregnancy. Each time I went in Audrea checked in and asked how I was feeling. She never pushed advice or judgement and always had an open ear. When our second was born it was an induction and Audrea prepared me as much as possible. When we felt we were ready for Audrea to come in, she entered softly and was ready for whatever I needed. My body's response to the induction was an intense one and this created some limited ideas to alleviate the pain. She provided helpful tips for my husband to help (ex: rubbing my back!). The time came for our little one to enter the world and Audrea was as excited as we were, which meant the world. We still are in contact and she continues to provide help and service for our family! I'm not sure I could have found a more compassionate person for the job.
