Having a high risk pregnancy after losses is a journey within itself. I had to be sure to choose the best team to support my birth, recovery, and lactation support. Audelle supported me and my family when we got home from the hospital. Prior to my scheduled C-section Audelle sent me so many resources and videos to prepare me for my birth. When we arrived at home she just meshed right into our family from cooking nutritious meals to aid in healing. As well as helping with our toddler and organizing our laundry. She was extremely supportive and knowledgeable when I struggled with nursing. Audelle was able to be a huge comfort when working with me she kept my mental health and past trauma in mind at all times. When her time with us was over I didn’t even know what to do. Audelle became family!

Audelle is dependable, trustworthy and knowledgeable. She has been a good support system for our growing family during both of our pregnancies and post partum, and I have come to consider her as a friend as well.

Audelle is a very calm natured individual who is both caring and considerate alike. She’s given me plenty of advice post partum and during times where I needed assistance with learning to care for my small children…and to care for myself too! She’s been an incredible help with tasks around the house and lends a helping hand without ever being intrusive or overbearing.

I would certainly recommend her to anyone who needs services during their pregnancies and even afterwards when you are trying to manage the beautiful chaos!

Audelle worked with me in advance of my delivery, helping me prepare my space and then myself for a Caesarian. She worked well with my birth center care team and was with me when baby and I came home. I felt supported and well cared for.
