Discovery Call

Amber

We are so grateful for Audrey in joining our birth team remotely. She provided loving support at just the right & called upon moment allowing myself, my husband and my mother to confidently and easefully rest into our undisturbed freebirth from the comfort of our home.

God led me to Audrey after the midwives I was planning on working with turned me down as a client. On our first call Audrey listened to my previous birth story with such loving compassion and understanding. Even if that had been all she did for me, it was so healing and helpful and validating. As I spoke she had such clear discernment of exactly what had happened to me. She made it clear that her main objective was to help me understand that I didn’t need her, or anybody to give birth. When Audrey met with my husband, she explained birth, and the interferences with birth so simply and knowledgeably that it completely changed his outlook. He was very traumatized by our last experience and honestly thought the doctor saved our baby’s life. As she spoke everything became clear to him, and by the time baby arrived he was ready for us to free birth if for some reason we needed to. Hallelujah! It was such a transformation! I knew when Audrey arrived at my birth she would bring Jesus with her, and to me that was very important. Audrey listened to and respected my wishes for my birth. She simply held space and allowed my birth to happen. I was able to tune in to my body and my baby so clearly. Holy Spirit was so present. Being by myself allowed me to lean into the intensity and feel in control of my birth. My baby surprised us all and started coming out breech! My husband and Audrey both had absolutely no fear and simply said “I see his heart beat and it’s so strong” and “the cord is pulsing, baby is doing great”. My three year old was present and loving the experience. Baby came out so perfect and peaceful. Birthing redemption! Audrey helped my family heal. I’m so thankful to Audrey, and I know she gives all the glory to God. She is a very special person and I will treasure her always. Love you Audrey! - Beth

Sitting here today, looking at my now 3 month old baby boy, my heart is filled with gratitude for Audrey. A year ago we found out we were pregnant, and while I was very excited I was also extremely nervous. Birth was intimidating, at the time only identifying with the traumatic stories my mother had experienced in the hospital. Trying to picture ourselves seeing a doctor, blood tests, and bright lights of the hospital, only felt like descending into darkness. We did some research, and found a Birthing Center. We were saved! Or so we thought. After a meet and greet, we walked away feeling uneasy, like we were being gifted a hospital birth with holistic wrapping paper. As time rolled along I started following different pregnancy social media accounts, and by the grace of God I found A JOYful Birth. Having the privilege to follow along Audrey’s pregnancy and birth of her own child was a gift in itself - a woman claiming the strength and power of her own body. She helped me realize what I denying, that it IS possible to birth outside of the system, that a woman IS capable of birth. We then ascended up the rabbit hole towards the light of this new path, freebirthing. And again with God’s timing Audrey posted that she was opening up her calendar for coaching calls. I jumped at the link instantly, and at the last second before hitting confirm, backed out. Never having been on a zoom call, especially with a stranger, I got nervous. Weighing on my mind, the next day I brought it up to my husband, who instantly said - just do it! So we booked the call. - - - The moment Audrey popped up on the screen for our coaching call, I felt instantly at ease. We both shared about all things life and birth. She spoke honestly about the integrity of birth, and in those moments I knew we were on the right path. At the end of the call she let us know that she offered virtual birth support, it was a dream come true. She emailed us with the details of her services, and we booked her instantly. Audrey was a dream to work with. As my husband and I delved into information about birthing outside the system, Audrey allowed us the space to seek our path, whilst sharing the wisdom and strength of her experience as a mother and birth keeper. She provided my husband with immeasurable advice on how to support our birth, leading up to and during the great event. I began early labor late in the evening, wondering if it was the real deal. I let my husband sleep as he was going to need the rest if it was. It continued through the night, so mid morning we let Audrey know that baby was making his way into the world. She replied promptly, assuring us she was there for us anytime. The day was filled with lots of movement, relaxation and preparation for the journey ahead. Labor beautifully progressed, from sun down, to sun up the following morning, and my husband kept her updated. When I began to experience the intense contractions the following afternoon, I could sense my husband’s worry when he asked if we should call Audrey. I ignored him as I knew I was OK. A couple hours later he asked again, and I said no. He stayed strong and supported me through his own worry, but when he asked me a third time, seeing my own exhaustion, I agreed. Audrey’s voice and strength at this pivotal time was absolutely perfect, her calm demeanor assured us we were doing great, and that there in that moment we were bringing life into this world. And in what seems like minutes, with two huge pushes, I birthed our beautiful baby boy into my husbands hands. Audrey has the energy of an old friend welcoming you into their home. She was approachable, easy to speak with, and honest. As newcomers wandering into the freebirthing world, we were warmly welcomed into unknown territory with her guiding light and wisdom.

When my wife first mentioned that she was interested in freebirthing our second child, I was instantly filled with anxiety. I was fully on board with a homebirth, but the thought of not having a midwife present scared me to death. I was struggling because while I wanted to support my wife, my mind was still racing with all of the fears and "what-if's". It wasn't until my wife shared Audrey's instagram page with me that I finally started feeling more at ease about it. Reading through the content that she posted was a huge encouragement to me to trust God's design, and to trust my wife's intuition. And then after speaking with Audrey, all of my fears were laid to rest. She calmly answered and addressed all of my questions and concerns without judgement. After our call, I knew this was the right path for our family. Audrey was an amazing support for both my wife and myself throughout the entire labor. Seeing my wife handle labor and birth without any medical intervention was so very powerful to me, and deepened our marriage and faith in God and His amazing design. I am forever grateful for this experience and for Audrey!

Working with Audrey was exactly what I was looking for my free birth, and even more! I knew I wanted to give birth at home with just my husband present, and at the same time I wanted the support of someone experienced, calm and caring, who wouldn’t sabotage my birth in any way. I’m so grateful that I found Audrey. She was there for me on the phone whenever I needed her, and that was just perfect, no matter the 10h time difference. During the birth which lasted about 20h my husband was on the phone with her asking questions and making sure everything was alright. She really provided all the reassurance I needed to keep going. I felt so safe and supported knowing that Audrey was just a phone call away. What I loved about her is that not only she’s extremely knowledgeable about natural birth, but also she has a beautiful loving and caring energy. I truly felt cared for and able to be vulnerable and express all my fears. Audrey is a true gem of a midwife (or birth attendant?) and I already know that I want to work with her again for my next birth!

Audrey is worth her weight in gold. I was drawn to Audrey for her comical reels and memes about undisturbed physiological birth and digs about its counterfeit, midwifery. Her content put words to everything I had thought to be true about birth. I was recommended to do a birth trauma debrief about my planned home birth turned breech c-section with Audrey and had no preconceived idea to hire her for virtual birth support, but after chatting with her for two hours (highly recommend booking these calls with her!), my husband and I jumped at the opportunity to hire Audrey as a resource for our upcoming birth. I had not expected to lean on Audrey as much as we did. Whereas before I had felt very isolated, she became a friend I could confide in and often did in the weeks leading up to my daughter’s birth. I know everything would have worked out just fine on our own, but having Audrey greatly comforted my husband and I during those final hours of a 28-hour labor when it felt like I would be laboring forever. And our relationship did not end at the birth of my daughter - I ended up having many questions postpartum and Audrey was there to hold my hand until I got my feet under me. Knowing she was there for me whenever I needed her gave me so much peace of mind. With my firstborn, I withheld pretty much all information from the midwives for fear they would take away my dream home birth, and in the end, it was taken away without me saying a word. But with Audrey, I knew I could share anything with her and she would tell me the truth without being an alarmist or imparting fear. That is what sets her apart from the rest, for me. She truly believes that birth works and it works best when women trust their bodies to do what God made them to do. Bringing her on to your team looks like her kindly realigning you with this truth. I had my redemptive birth - at home - with my husband there to catch our daughter and Audrey a phone call away should we have need of her. She was invaluable to this experience and my little family of four is forever grateful for her.

Audrey is one of the most honest women looking out for moms and babies. She knows her shit, she backs it up. The knowledge she has is absolutely crucial to those looking to birth with the belief that their body was perfectly designed for every moment of pregnancy and birth and to protect themselves from the abusive system of hospitals, midwives, obs and nurses. She TRULY informs women of their options, the TRUE risks, the TRUE benefits of interventions during pregnancy, labor and postpartum.

Audrey was beautifully grounding for us after 30hrs of intense contractions she was the exact conversation i needed to help me remember that I was doing great and baby was on their way! Thank you.

Jessica

Audrey brings heart and soul into her work with women. Throughout my pregnancy she was attentive, quick to respond to questions and concerns with gentle reasoning and compassion, and always directed my attention back inwards and then upwards, towards trusting my body, my baby, myself and God. She provided tools that helped me strengthen my mental fortitude going into birth. And at my birth, her calm energy helped both me and the family I chose to be present to stay grounded, present and courageous. She worked hard and physically and emotionally supported me as I brought my baby into the world. I’m so thankful I hired her! She’s worth absolutely every cent.

I first spoke to Audrey in a 1:1 to debrief my previous birth and talk through my upcoming one. For the first time, I felt seen, heard, and validated in my thoughts and feelings about my first birth. I loved our whole conversation and felt an even deeper connection because of our shared faith. Her words planter a seed in me and I ended up terminated my midwifery care at 32 weeks due to differences in ideologies (about birth and spirituality). I wished I lived near Audrey to have her support me in birth and then thought I would ask about virtual support even though we were getting close to the end. My husband and I had another 1:1 with her and talked through virtual support. I felt like we couldn't say "yes" fast enough. It was like God placed Audrey in our lives at the most perfect time. I had a multi-day labor with a posterior baby. Numerous times I felt like I couldn't go on and Audrey's encouragement helped me stay on track. We were on opposite coasts and she always answered my middle of the night texts. She was indispensable during labor and answered the phone right after birth. Knowing we could call/text/FaceTime her anytime gave us extra confidence in our freebirth. I'm so grateful for Audrey - for her knowledge, wisdom, encouragement, and prayers. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and am confident our birth would not have gone as smoothly without her.
