Testimonial for Dawn Batson
Dawn has been an incredible emotional and logistical gift to our family. I did not have a doula for my first pregnancy, and now I cannot fathom having another child without Dawn's support. She brings a wealth of knowledge, patience, intuition, and empathy to her work, and as a result I, my husband, and my children are all healthier.
Our 20-month-old loves their walks to look at butterflies -- and I love the space and time those walks give me to bond with our newborn. She taught the newborn to fall asleep in his crib with a caring, non-cry-it-out method, and his ability to sleep on his own has given me essential time without a baby on my body. She finds so many small tasks which make our lives easier -- preparing single serving overnight oats and chia puddings for nusing snacks and breakfasts for the toddler. Folding laundry, swinging by the grocery store, cleaning out the fridge. She's had great advice for solving all the little things -- weird baby poops, setting boundaries between the two kids. She's also a committed, thoughtful listener, and as it turns out, you really need that after any kind of labor.
I can't recommend Dawn enough. Her support will make you feel like the hard days are doable and the good days have enough space and time to really feel your joy.
