Testimonial for Dawn Batson
Dawn is amazing. She’s generous, present (so present, always), calm, confident and nurturing. In deciding which doula to choose (after interviewing 3), I realized I wanted someone who felt like a peer, someone I could feel very comfortable being vulnerable in front of. Dawn is definitely that person. She was such a rock for my husband and me throughout my whole labor and delivery, plus afterwards. She came over and cleaned and brought us food. So so helpful!
My birth didn't go as I had hoped, but Dawn helped me heal the pain and disappointment I felt because of it. She even wrote my birth story for me from her perspective, which made me see how strong and powerful I am, despite the birth not going exactly as I wanted it to.
Dawn went above and beyond what I thought any doula would do for us. She stayed with my husband and me the entire (very long) labor, encouraging us and making sure all was well. She took great photos for us too!
I told her to raise her prices because she's way too freakin knowledgable and generous to charge as little as she does!
She also knows a lot about Spinning Babies and great ways to prepare for labor, plus how to navigate the early crazy days of parenthood. Dawn will totally speak up on your behalf to whomever is helping you deliver the baby, and will be there to answer your questions after the baby is born (I had a lot of questions!).
Dawn is a wealth of resources and support. Her generosity astounds me, plus I just love hanging out with her!
