Testimonial for Dawn Batson
I highly recommend Dawn! She was recommended to us by my OB at Cedars. I had a very positive birth experience, and I attribute a lot of that to working with Dawn. Dawn worked with us staring when I was pregnant, during the birth of our child, and after he was born. Dawn's energy is very calming, and she is pragmatic and nonjudgmental. She first came over to our house and walked us through the different things that could happen during the birth and what to be prepared for. She was very knowledgeable, but she also managed to make the information not overwhelming. We felt very comfortable having her in our house. She checked in via text as my pregnancy progressed. Before getting pregnant, I had a found a method that helped me resolve some chronic pain I had. She wanted to know more about the method so that she could help me use it during labor-- and she even went so far as to read a book about it! I texted her several times with questions and she was prompt in responding. My water broke early at 36.5 weeks, and she met us at the hospital as my contractions started. She helped me labor without an epidural until I got to 5 cm, and then she completely respected my choice to get an epidural. She made me so comfortable during labor. I felt safe and cared for, which allowed me to focus on my body and turn inward. She made sure my husband got some rest and was cared for as well. She was very respected by and respectful of the hospital staff. She helped me get in the right positions so that the baby could easily make his way out. She stayed with us for a few hours and helped him latch. She came to visit us a few days postpartum and was a such a source of comfort and support. We wholeheartedly believe anyone who is pregnant could benefit from working with Dawn.
