Testimonial for Dawn Batson
Ever meet someone that is doing exactly what they're put on this Earth to do? That's Dawn. Her years of experience and her innate abilities are of the highest order.
I felt completely at ease with Dawn from our very first meeting. She's smart, kind, funny, and knows so much about the birthing process and motherhood. She asked me a lot of important questions so that I could fully find my vision for birth.
During labor she was a source of comfort, kindness, laughter, and strength. I can't say enough about how at ease my husband and I felt around her. She feels like an old friend who just happens to be a high priestess of the birthing process. She had so many tricks for increasing my comfort, even when I completely lost my mind towards the end when I went into intense back labor. It was her encouragement and words that locked in for me and got me through the most intense experience of my life. She was gentle but firm in her words and snapped me back into my body enough to dig deep and deliver my baby.
She was with us for something like 27 hours, and I never saw her exhibit signs of exhaustion or a dip in her sunny disposition. This woman is an actual angel.
She brought my placenta pills while we were still in the hospital (def recommend! I really felt a difference) and even brought a couple of things to help our baby who had jaundice. She checked in with us several times during the first days and weeks and gave us recommendations for a craniosacral therapist and a chiropractor when we asked. I felt so supported!
Some doulas with only a year or two of experience have the nerve to charge the same or more than Dawn, who has more than 10 years of experience. I still can't believe her prices are so fair for the work and dedication she puts in. This is an expert level professional, cloaked in a kind-hearted beauty. She lives and breathes birth and motherhood. It doesn't get any better than Dawn!
