Testimonial for Audrea Blayer, CD(DONA)
I am incredibly glad my husband and I had Audrea's support for the birth of our first child.
Through meeting with her via Zoom beforehand, we definitely benefited from her wisdom and experience. She's incredibly knowledgeable, asked wonderful questions to get us thinking about our hopes and preferences, and was truly supportive of helping us to prepare for the birth experience we wanted.
Audrea met us at the hospital and even before we were checked in, she was offering support and encouragement. She was a calm and confident presence who not only provided physical support but she also helped us talk through our options when things were progressing slowly. Without her there, I think I would have felt fear or panic, but her presence really surrounded us with so much peace. And she took photos throughout, which I absolutely treasure!
In addition to supporting me directly, she also helped to coach and support my husband. She showed him how to do counter pressure and other ways he could help, and also made sure he was able to eat and get some rest during my 36ish hour labor.
When I look back on my son's birth, I remember it as an empowering, incredible experience, and so so much of that is due to Audrea's presence and support. We are so grateful and cannot recommend her highly enough!
