Testimonial for Aurea Hawkes
Before I was pregnant, I knew I wanted Aurea to be our doula. After knowing her for a few years, I knew her personality would make for the right doula for our family. She is nurturing, strong, assertive, open, and knows there is no right way to birth or to raise a child. Throughout the whole process of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, my husband and I have felt heard and supported by Aurea as she is always ready to share resources and offer her guidance. During our birth, Aurea arrived at our hourse at the crack of dawn 10 minutes after we called her. I was preogressing quickly into active labor. She jumped in right away to offer hands-on support for me physiologically, and for the next several hours coached me through my breath, continuously using soothing words to remind me this was all for our baby. Aurea did not hesitate to jump in with other tasks and to support my husband, and even captured photos and videos from our sacred day that we have to cherish forever. I look back on that day in amazement at the strength & endurance of our birth team. In the postpartum, Aurea has assisted us with lactation troubleshooting, emotional support, and just being a person we can always reach out to. Our journey into parenthood would not have been the empowering, uplifting experience it has been without the support of a doula to advocate for our wants and needs. Aurea was that person for us and will forever hold a special place in our hearts and lives!
