Testimonial for Alexandra Blanchard, CD, CBC
We knew becoming a family of 3 would be a life-changing event and wanted to work with someone who could hold space for us while at the same time empower and guide us through this new chapter of our lives. Enter Allie, who truly has a gift as a birth doula. One of Allie's greatest strengths is creating a space that allows you to feel comfortable, this was evident from our very first meeting with her. Allie is down to earth and my husband immediately liked her "chilled vibe." We value Allie for her ability to make our experience personal and feel she cared about us and placed emphasis on things that were important to us. She also demonstrated cultural sensitivity in working with us. My husband truly appreciates Allie for her confidence, knowledge and immediately trusted her to help us navigate laboring at home. Allie quickly became an essential person who made up part of my support team. I cannot emphasize the deep appreciation I have for everything she did for me - from using humor, encouraging words, guiding me through breathing techniques, to flat out hugging me tight in the car. I love how she seamlessly kept me focused and calm to ensuring we head out to the birthing center with my husband - without skipping a beat.
Allie has truly made my birthing experience memorable and would love to work with her again (perhaps for baby #2!). For those pregnant people who are on the fence about hiring a doula, take a chance and schedule a meeting with Allie. You, too, will see her passion, committment, knowledge, resourcefulness and presence she brings to her work. Muchas gracias Allie!
