Testimonial for Alexandra Blanchard
Alexandra 'Allie' Blanchard is an amazing doula and we recommend her highly to anyone in search of a doula for their birth experience. We started working with Allie when we were 20 weeks pregnant . My husband and I felt instantly connected to her - she was warm and friendly and full of knowledge and responded to all of our prenatal, childbirth and postpartum questions with ease and compassion. Her solutions were always evidence based and she always made us feel supported and cared for. She could always put our anxieties as new parents at rest. Though we prepared for a vaginal birth with prenatal consults/meetings with Allie, my doctor ordered a planned c-section at 38weeks for medical reasons. Allie switched roles seamlessly, meeting us in the recovery room post cesarean. She was key in helping me and my husband and our newborn in those difficult hours post-op. After we returned from the hospital Allie had 3 postpartum visits where she was a huge help bringing us food, allowing us to take naps to catch up on sleep, answering any postpartum questions (particularly helpful with breastfeeding since my milk was delayed due to the cesarean) and checking in on our emotional health as well. All this to say, Allie is a wonderful doula and person and we are so happy she supported the birth of our son - easily the most vulnerable and life changing time of our lives!
