“Truthfully, had my doctors not insisted I hire a doula I probably would not have. Lucky for me I followed their advice and found Rachel who made a tremendous difference in my birth experience. From our first meeting to our final post-partum one Rachel brought a soft confidence to our every encounter. She was expert in grounding me during labor, knowing when to step back and when to get involved, with ease. She was very hands on, used lots of techniques for pain management and knew when to change things up. She read my cues well and reacted accordingly – Rachel is an intuitive woman which is critical during such an intense experience. And, she travels with a stash of dried mango! I would highly recommend Rachel as both a labor and post-partum doula. ”

“Rachel has been a tremendous help to me and my family during my transition from maternity leave to work. She’s very tuned in to my needs, and finds ways to help without me having to ask. Rachel has helped me at home, at doctor’s appointments, and in between. She’s a great resource for information on breastfeeding and child development, and provides a calm and supportive presence.”
