Testimonial for Alexandra Blanchard, CD, CBC
We are so glad we worked with Allie for the birth of our son! Especially during the craziness of 2020, it was so nice to have a consistent, calming presence preparing us and helping us through his birth. She was always available to answer questions outside of our prenatal sessions and I really feel we learned more about what to expect from her than from doctor appointments. She really helped keep me calm during labor and explained what was happening when the doctors and nurses would use a lot of medical jargon that sounded alarming (but wasn't!). You're left alone through a lot of labor and we were grateful she was there to make sure we were doing ok and that both me and my husband were staying hydrated and having snacks. I also appreciated that she had no judgment about my choice to get an epidural, as a number of other doulas I'd inteviewed were.
While she couldn't visit once we were back home, she was readily available to hop on FaceTime and answer texts as we navigated trying to breastfeed. If you have any anxiety around pregnancy and childbirth, I strongly recommend working with her!
