Testimonial for Dawn Oliver CDI(TDA)
Giving birth to our sweet baby girl in April was one of the best experiences of my life!
It was definitely challenging and labor is no joke.
Having Dawn as my doula was an incredible blessing!
She coached, supported and guided me before birth, during labor and provided much needed education for postpartum. I successfully gave birth naturally at Charleston Birth Place and ended in the tub for a water birth. Dawn’s support during labor was incredibly empowering. I used the tens unit which did help minimize pain during contractions. She offered mental, emotional and physical support during the hardest parts of labor. She helped my husband in providing physical support also coaching him in different positions and techniques to assist.
Natural labor was the hardest thing I have ever done, but nothing compared to meeting our sweet baby girl. It was all worth it!
I did tear and need some stitches. My postpartum recovery, breastfeeding, and healing has been wonderful overall. I appreciated Dawn’s placenta encapsulation services. I believe that the healthy things I practiced and advice followed from her and the midwives helped so much. Our baby is very healthy, happy and well adjusted. We have bonded so well even with the stresses of having multiple older children. I believe a lot of my good health and baby’s good health is because of the care from the midwives at Birth Center and the care from Dawn as my doula, as well as, accepting help from family and friends postpartum per their advice.I would highly recommend Dawn as a midwife for her knowledge, experience, care, support and professionalism. She was so kind and really is with you during the most important time in your life.
Thank you again for all your help and support! I feel like everyone needs a doula no matter how you choose to give birth.
