“Rachel was a wonderful support for me when I was pregnant with my second child! She was great about checking in via texts to make sure I felt prepared at all steps of the journey, and she always followed up with resources to help with my questions and challenges.
She supported my individual preferences for labor and delivery, and during my time in the hospital, she was a comforting presence. Although I was lucky enough to have a smooth delivery, I was glad to have the peace of mind that Rachel would be there to support me if the labor became complicated.”

“We really enjoyed working with Rachel to support our family. Rachel is a very caring and enthusiastic doula who listens to your needs as a client without pushing any personal agenda or beliefs. She was very reliable and supportive and helped us talk through/create a strong birth plan that was really essential and helpful during the birthing process.
The process of talking through what we did and did not want ahead of the scheduled C-section empowered me to feel more comfortable the day of the procedure to really emphasize my needs. Even if things didn't go ‘as planned’ in every case, I felt better knowing that I had made my desires known to my medical team.
Having someone to talk through ‘what to expect’ is truly essential in my opinion, for the birthing person. I recommend having Rachel as your doula to help you feel more comfortable with all aspects of the process.”

“Rachel was generous with her time and thoughtful with her answers. I did not feel rushed and I did not feel like any of my questions would be silly. Even as second time parents, we felt much more at ease going into birth after hiring Rachel. I would highly recommend working with Rachel for birth and postpartum.”
