Testimonial for Dawn Oliver CDI(TDA)
Hiring Dawn Oliver as our doula was the best decision we made for our pregnancy. We decided to hire a doula because of my anxiety when it came to labor and delivery. Upon meeting Dawn, we felt an instant warmth and connection and we knew she was the right one for us! We started working with Dawn pre-Covid, and were planning on having her with us in the room for delivery. Of course, Covid came along and changed everything! I panicked, but Dawn did not! She instantly presented me with other options to make me feel comfortable. We decided to labor as long as we could at home with Dawn and then have access via facetime while in the hospital. We also had a labor rehearsal where Dawn went over techniques for my husband to remember since she would not be able to be in the room. We didn't end up having time at home (because we made the decision to head directly to the hospital based on how far apart my contractions were), but we did have her on facetime at the hospital and it made all the difference in the world.
Dawn was available to me EVERY single time i needed her and for every question i had throughout my pregnancy and even now 1.5 months postpartum. Covid may have thrown a wrench in the plans, but having doula, having Dawn, was still one of the most important decisions we made.
