Working with Audrey was such a pleasure. She provided me with wellness advice, emotional support, exercises, and herbs that prepared my body for the task of labor. I felt at ease throughout the entire process knowing she was on my team. She advocated for me at my appointments and during my delivery. In the short time we worked together Audrey became a part of our family and we are so grateful for her! I would highly recommend her services to all moms to be.

Audrey is very supportive, passionate and genuine when it comes to prenatal, childbirth and postpartum care. I was very fortunate to have her as my doula in my delivery room. I couldn’t imagine it any other way!

Upon attending a black breastfeeding week conference, I met Audrey who stood out from the rest! We bonded over sharing similar sentiments around black maternal health and the importance of having a holistic pregnancy. During my last 3 months of pregnancy, Audrey provided prenatal services that helped educate me on maintaining a healthy diet and routine. She also helped me incorporate natural herbs in my diet through teas which helped ease my anxiety during pregnancy. Audrey was a great resource and educated me on the benefits of breastfeeding and providing me with all possible methods of birth and their pros and cons. This provided me with the framework to decide which method was best for me. I admire Audrey’s dedication to women having natural births and providing education around birth and labor. Although my birth was unexpected, Audrey provided continued support after I gave birth. She showed up to my birth despite there being only 1 person allowed in the delivery room. Having her positive energy was amazing. She also continued to check in postpartum which provided additional support for baby and I. Her dedicated 24/7 support is indicative of her passion for black maternal health and care for her clients. Audrey allows her clients the room to express their needs and provide them with an array of options and analyze where and how she can be a support for them. Audrey is a great soul and I know she will continue to change the narrative and provide more support to women in need of healthy births and child birth education. Words cannot explain how much of a blessing Audrey has been.
