Working with Audi as a Doula to bring my little girl into the world was nothing short of transformational. As someone who was a first-time partner on this journey, I had little expectations that I would be a part of the doula journey (besides the actual labor and delivery), but Audi quickly changed that mentality. Within our initial meetings she made it very know that the three of us were a team and it was important to get thoughts and feeling from everyone. Within our pre- labor meeting Audi would ask us questions about us as a couple, updates on the doctor visits, thoughts on our birth plan. Throughout it all, she shared her expertise and advice in a way that was informative and open, without casting judgement on our thoughts or naivety. She helped answer the many questions that came up for my wife, as well as assisted us in navigating the curve balls from the medical system. Weeks leading up to the delivery, Audi checked in more frequently and when her water broke, she was at the hospital within the hour. From the moment my wife started labor Audi was locked into her every need. From walking around the hospital, leading different breathing techniques and assisting in massages and positioning throughout, Audi both guided my wife and guide me to support my wife’s needs. Audi’s calm and reassuring affirmations helped my wife to stay rooted in her labor goals and have the successful natural labor that she desired. I honestly couldn’t imagine going through this birthing process without Audi supporting us, letting us know our thoughts mattered. Beginnings are very important and thanks to Audi our little girl had a safe and happy beginning in this world and we had a wonderful beginning as new parents.
