Client Testimonials for Lindsey Rupp
Lindsey Rupp
Lindsey was fantastic! She really went out of her way to help us both at the birth and afterward. Even though she had already been at the hospital all day with another client, she stayed another day with us. She was very caring despite the long hours, and I don't think I could have gotten through my 40-hour labor without her. She met with us a lot before the birth, and even helped in other ways, like taking me to the food pantry and getting information from other doulas in the area. She always had a lot of great and interesting materials with her and seemed to know exactly what she was talking about. She also took the time to write a beautiful birth story for our son and helped find us a Boppy. When my son was three months old, she helped us again and was even willing to work out a payment plan with us since we didn't have a lot of money and my husband had just lost his job. She always went above and beyond with us, and I would reccomend her highly.

Lindsey was a fantastic birth doula, from start to finish. She was a great source of information in the weeks leading up to the big day. She provided just the right amount of quiet support throughout the labor and delivery process. She was totally there for us when I needed help with breastfeeding right after delivery and in the days that followed. We so appreciated her kindness, knowledge, commitment and professionalism. It is clear that Lindsey truly loves what she does. We are so grateful to Lindsey for all of her help during the most awesome experience of our lives thus far.
