Testimonial for Audi Brown, CD(DONA)
As a black women, I went into my first pregnancy with a lot of fear of the unknown. I had questions about the changes I would go through and what to expect for birth/ delivery and beyond. And due to poor bedside manner and medical concerns, my husband and I switched medical institutions twice during the pregnancy.
Audi Brown was the constant for us. She made sure we didn't miss a beat through the transitions. Audi always pointed us to our doctors with medical questions but was able to look at our personal birth goals and let us know different things we should consider. This helped us have deeper conversations, and ultimately relationships, with our medical team. In addition, she filled gaps for us. Audi made sure we had all the information from a birth education class and then followed up on additional information not shared in those classes. She made sure we were well informed entering parenthood.
During birth and delivery, Audi never left my side. She either helped me through each contraction herself or coached my husband on what to do. Despite having low pain tolerance, I was able to have an unmediated birth. That would not have been possible without Audi’s, knowledge, patience, gentleness, and attention to detail. She was so skilled that two medical professionals from two different institutions asked me for her information afterwards. My OB said she was easily in the top five doulas she's ever worked with.
I could not have had a better experience and will be forever grateful for how Audi walked alongside us as we became a family of three.
