Hi Rosa,

We just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your help with the arrival of our baby boy. Your support during the entire journey was exactly what we needed.

During the preparation and delivery, you were there with the right advice and support without ever being too much. Those moments can be overwhelming, but your presence made a big difference.

The photos you took are a wonderful keepsake for us. Also, the breastfeeding tips and your visit a month after were really helpful. It's been great having someone as knowledgeable and approachable as you by our side.

Thanks for being available whenever we needed, and for being so understanding and kind. We really appreciate it and would happily recommend you to others.

Best,

David and Johanna

Rosa is exactly what we had hoped for when looking for a doula to join us on our birthing journey.

From the initial consultation, it was evident that Rosa was more than just a doula – she was a compassionate guide on our journey to parenthood. Her wealth of knowledge, combined with a genuine and caring demeanor, immediately put us at ease. Throughout the pregnancy, she offered invaluable insights, evidence-based information, and emotional support that proved to be instrumental in making informed decisions.

During labor, Rosa was a calming and reassuring presence. Her ability to anticipate our needs, provide comfort measures, and navigate unexpected challenges was incredible. Her encouraging words and steady support were a source of strength during the most intense moments of childbirth.

Rosa has an impressive number of years of professional expertise, but what sets her apart is the personal connection she establishes. Her passion for supporting mothers and babies is clear, and her kindness and warmth made our entire experience memorable. I can confidently say that Rosa played an integral role in shaping our positive and empowering birth story.

We wholeheartedly recommend Rosa to anyone seeking a compassionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated birth doula. Her impact on our journey to parenthood was immeasurable, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had her by our side.

Rosa's motherly support during my labour and as I was giving birth was AMAZING.

She is approachable and friendly with a positive outlook on life.  In our first meet-up I even managed to see Rosa's mom. Loved how family oriented she is and that's how I decided she would be the perfet doula for me.

I highly recommend Rosa. 

Thank you Rosa with love. 

Keep being YOU! :)

Rosa was warm, professional, & genuine to work with. She's knowledgeable, supportive, & available. My husband and I decided to book a doula right at pretty much the last minute & I have no regrets with our decision.

Having Rosa by our side was a wonderful experience, she was knowledgeable, caring, and had our best interests throughout the entire time we were together. She always made us feel comfortable and gave helpful advice whenever we had questions. We're very happy to have had Rosa as our doula and would highly recommend her to any of our friends.

I wasnt originally planning on hiring a birthing doula, until my friend reccomend Mama Rosa and I'm so glad that she did because she has made all the difference in my birthing experience. Rosas approach is non-judgmental, she was a pillar of support and a well of knowledge for both me and my partner. She was calming force during a time of fear and insecurity. I feel that having Rosa on this journey contributed immensely to my positive birth experience. I would highly reccomend Rosa to any family that is looking for a doula! Thank you Rosa!

I would like to thank Rosa Beck for her outstanding support she has offered to me and my little family. My daughter is now over 11 days old now, and I was looking for a doula in my third trimester and my support worker actually said "You have got to meet Rose, I know you and her will get along she is great from what I remember" and when we first met eachother, I knew in that moment on that her and I would make a great team as I could trust her and loved her charismatic non judging but inviting personality!

I felt I could tell her anything and she was there and understanding of my situation despite how I got pregnant in the first place (it wasn't planned)! However at the end of the day, I do not regret it one bit! I love my daughter so much, she is pure bundle of joy and so beautiful! 

I would highly recommend Rosa to anyone who loves a person who just wants to honestly be there for you and be there for your incredible journey to motherhood! She is trustworthy, reliable at all ends of hours and responds in a timely manner. She goes out of her way to make you smile and make your baby smile. My birth was so memorable and amazing and I wouldnt have done it without her!

Thank you so much for all your help and being the best Doula I could even possible ask for! You are absoutely remarkable and I would rate her 100 stars as well !

Rosa is a compassionate and energetic educator who provided excellent services to my family. She provided timely and effective emotional support to my partner when she was at her hospital to deliver our baby. We are very grateful to her help and her advice on pregenacy and childbirth is invaluable to us. I can tell Rosa cares about what she does and she has great people skills to handle stressful situations. My experience with Rosa is 100% positive, and I am happy to refer her to other families who need professional Doula services.

Having Rosa as a part of my prenatal, delivery, and postpartum journey made such a wonderful difference! She helped me feel prepared and supported, and I always knew I had an outlet for any questions or concerns that popped up. She was really open to how we wanted our labour and delivery to look, and I appreciated all the knowledge and experience she brought with her. My husband really appreciated having someone he could trust and rely on throughout the process too. I would recommend Rosa to anyone who is thinking of hiring a doula for their birth journey!

We had a great experience working with Rosa!  As first-time parents without family in the area, it was important to us to have additional support before, during, and after the birth, and Rosa came through for us in every way.  She was a wealth of information in the weeks preparing for the birth, and an amazing support during the birth.  I had a long labor in the hospital with a number of medical interventions and complications, and Rosa was there the entire time for physical and emotional support, as well as advice.  My husband and I appreciated her experience when making decisions - it was invaluable having someone present (other than the medical team) who had so much experience with childbirth to be able to talk things through and get that additional perspective.  Rosa patiently answered our questions and addressed our concerns when we met in the weeks before the birth, and also provided helpful hints and advice in our meeting in the weeks after the birth.  Additionally, one of the values for us in hiring a doula was for the connections with other resources in the childbirth community, and Rosa can provide these as well.  Definitely recommend Rosa as a doula!

Rosa was exactly what we needed from our first meetings early in pregnancy all the way to the post partum visit. She provided us resources, advice, support, and reassurance, especially during the time of high stress. We had a complicated birth, and Rosa was there with us each step of the way for the many long hours we spent in the hospital. We recommend going with your gut instinct and intuition when picking a Doula, from our intro meeting with Rosa we knew very quickly she was right for us. Her personality, calming nature, and genuineness showed through on that first video call and then thorughout the process.. She rocks!!

My wife and I found Rosa through searching the BCDoula website by looking and comparing the experience, training, and services that each Doula offered. We had an instant connection with Rosa when we had our first meeting. Leading up to the birth Rosa answered any questions my wife had about symptoms she was having and provided her with reassurance over the telephone and text message. When our baby decided to come, Rosa showed up at the hospital immediately and was very helpful as she advised me how to effectively support my wife throughout the birthing process. Rosa ensured that I knew where to massage my wife during contractions and informed me what I could ask of the hospital staff. Rosa’s presence allowed us to keep calm and focused and assess the situation when the labour stopped progressing, and she helped to emotionally and mentally prepare us when we needed to make the decision to get an unplanned c-section. After the c-section, Rosa sat with me and my daughter until my wife returned from the post-operative ward. I really appreciated Rosa’s presence as I had been working a night shift before the labour began and it was a very stressful 30 hour day for me so having her calming presence was invaluable. After the birth of our daughter, my wife joked that I was the one that needed the Doula, because she felt that I benefited greatly from the emotional support Rosa provided.

My husband and I were on the fence about getting a doula and we’re so happy we did. Rosa was absolutely wonderful. She helped us navigate all the different pain management options for labour and make a birth plan that we felt comfortable with. Her support during labour was invaluable- the TENS machine she lent us was really effective for helping me through contractions, and her “water skiing” technique was key in getting the hang of pushing. She helped both my husband and I stay calm and was always very positive and encouraging. Her postpartum visit was also great. She reassured me about breastfeeding and offered some good tips and resources. We are so grateful Rosa was by our side and would highly recommend her. Thank you so much Rosa!

My partner and I are so happy we decided to include Rosa in our birth plan and experience. When we interviewed her, we knew she was a great match for us based on her warm and motherly personality, and her belief that birthing persons should be empowered in however they envision their birth process to be. She also endorses and supports evidence based practice along with more holistic approaches to labour. Rosa was of great support to not just me during my labour, but also to my partner in helping him to feel like he was supporting me. I ended up getting an epidural and Rosa was extremely supportive of my decision and was able to guide me through pushing despite not having as strong of feedback from the contractions due to the epidural. She also visited us once prenatally and once postpartum at our home. Both my partner and I felt extremely supported by Rosa and would highly reccomend hiring her as part of your birth experience! Thank you so much Rosa :)

I wouldn't have any other Doula by my side,  "Mama Rosa" is simply the best! I first met Rosa through a parenting program in 2018. We had a great connection. She was supportive, thoughtful and was genuine and honest with me. So when I became pregnant for the second time. I knew right away, that I wanted Rosa to support me through this exciting, but scary time! Rosa you are the best! Thank you for being the wonderful person you are, and for always being there for me and my babies!! If you are looking for a Doula,Mama Rosa should be on the top of your list!

Rosa Beck is exactly who we needed for the birthing journey of our beautiful daughter, Elsie Mei. We found Rosa when first searching for Doulas, and we were impressed with her experience, attending 200+ births over 10 years. Our first meeting with her was over zoom. We made an instant connection, and we knew she would be perfect for our team.

Mama Rosa is a wealth of knowledge for all things related to birthing and babies. She is also very genuine, personable, funny, confident, and kind and made my partner and I feel at ease. Due to the pandemic, my mother could not travel to be in Vancouver. Rosa was able to step in and provide me with the same level of care, comfort, and reassurance during prenatal meetings, birthing time, and postpartum. We cannot recommend Rosa enough. She was our rock during one of the most intense times of our lives and words cannot express how grateful we are for her to be at our daughter's birth. Thank ever so much, Mama Rosa!

Rosa was amazing!!!

Even though we had a pretty straightforward natural birth, it was SO nice to have her by our side. Such a calming and comforting presence. Aside from her incredibly friendly and mom-like personality, we really loved that she has over 200 births of experience and a majority of them at BC women's where we were. The nurses and doctors at BC women's were fantastic but it was great to have Rosa be a constant presence who's sole responsibility is to look out for you. She would remind nurses of certain things and call out when another contraction was coming, etc. Honestly best money ever spent. Especially if this is your first, it's so great to have someone by your side who has seen it all.y We absolutely LOVED her. Could not recommend her more.

The perfect match!

My fears were eliminated and I was blessed with a beautiful experience!

After my first pregnancy in 2015 I was determined to be more involved and have more of a voice this time around.  I'm a strong woman with a strong opinion but during my first pregnancy I let the doctors dictate all the details without knowing I actually had a say in the matter.  I was fearful, confused and conflicted as I had no idea what I was doing and just followed along as a spectator in my own child's birth.  
I vowed to have my voice heard if I was blessed with pregnancy again. 

November 2020 I found out I was pregnant again.  DURING A GLOBAL PANDEMIC! Of course my thoughts were, "great, what a confusing time to be in and out of doctors appointments and the hospital."

I didn't want the same experience so I did something about it and the universe sent us ROSA <3

FROM THE BEGINNING, we connected right away.  Calming, comfortable and supported as every woman should feel during this beautiful experience in life.  Every concern I had she helped me through.  Any questions I had became knowledge and understanding as soon as Rosa answered them.  
I felt more prepared for this than I ever thought I could and I wouldn't have been able to enjoy the moments like I did if I hadn't taken the time to reach out for support and have Rosa put in our lives. 

Ive already let Rosa know she will be called if we find ourselves pregnant again lol!
Thank you again Rosa, you're an angel!  

Cassie, Anthony & baby Darko!

Rosa is AMAZING!! She has been my doula twice! I couldn't have asked for anyone other than her. She made me feel so comfortable the entire time. Before the births we discussed a birth plan and what you were comfortable with and she did her best to make it work! She talked me through contractions, gave me tips on which breathing techniques worked(and they did!!!) And she keeps in contact. I love that about her. Truly a blessing this woman is to have at your birth ??

I have had the pleasure of having Rosa as my doula twice now! I'm so greatful to have been connected with her for my first labour, where my partner was unable to be present for the whole labour (which was over  24 hours long!) it was such a relief to have someone with a wealth of knowledge to ask questions, and to support me in my long labour. I was in so much pain and wanted a c-section, she encouraged and reminded me of how strong I was, and I able to have a successful vaginal delivery! 3 years later we reconnected for my second labour, and she was there to support me in my labour again, a familiar loving face in a crazy scary hard moment in life! Definitely recommend Rosa and if we have another baby I will definitely call her a third time!

Rosa is one of the kindest , most thoughtful people I've ever met. She was so attentive and answered any questions i had so easily, she was also SO supportive. I can't imagine having a birth without her present. Rosa gave my husband and sister tips to help alleviate my pain during labour so they could be as involved as possible. I would recommend her to absolutely everybody. I had a lot of anxiety surrounding my VBAC and Rosa helped to keep me calm and really explain the process. By fluke when my daughter was older and seeing a pediatrician she somehow came up and he commented that he'd been at many births at Womans' Hospital that she'd attended and how amazing and well respected she was. You won't regret working with Rosa.

My husband and I could not be happier with having Rosa as our doula. It was our first child and we were nervous and didn't know what to expect but Rosa made us feel so calm and supported. She was with me for every single step of my labour (from tieing my hair back and feeding me snacks and water, to even holding my hand through the unknown and painful parts) including the weeks leading up to it over the phone answering every question I had (which was a lot). She is incredibly knowledgeable and goes above and beyond for the families she works with. We are so fortunate and thankful to have hired such a kind and passionate doula who advocated for us and was such an amazing support for not only myself, but for my husband so he could get the rest he needed. It was honestly like having my mom right there with me. If you are thinking about wanting a doula, Rosa is nothing short of amazing !

Having Rosa by side during my pregnancy and labour was amazing. She was very supportive  and honestly I don't know how I would had gotten through it with out her.  She really helped me and my spouse get through it, was there every step of the way & im forever thankful for her.  She was my calm to my storm during my labour and her support was a big part of my expierence. Thank you for everything Rosa.

I was in labour during the pandemic and was feeling overwhelmed and frightened. I had my partner there and he did his best to console me. Having Rosa as my Doula helped me more than I can explain. She was calming ,supportive and was reassuring me that what I was experiencing was natural and that I was safe. I was so happy to have her support during the birth of my daughter. I know that even though the birth is over I can always pick up the phone and text or call with any question and she is always there. If you are looking for a kind, understanding , supportive Doula... Rosa is who I recommend!! Thank you Rosa...

Choosing Rosa as my Doola with both of my pregnancy has had to be the best decision of my life. Supportive. Funny, outgoing, understanding and non judgmental. She approaches everything professionally and has a way of easing tension and fear. Having her support made me and my partner feel secure and at ease because we knew she was going to be there to support us as we welcomed our children into this world. If you're looking for a doola who genuinely cares about you and your family I Highly recommend Rosa.

I am really glad we chose Rosa as our Doula.
Having her present at our daughter's birth was the best decision we made.   She comes with a wealth of knowledge that help put my husband and I at ease she was very reassuring and supportive throughout my pregnancy right to the birth.  During my labour and delivery I was worried that my husband would feel helpless or worried that there wasnt anything for him to do to help make the labour easy but Rosa made sure to involve him every step of the way, taught him techniques he could use when I was having contractions to help ease the pain.  Honestly, it was a breath of fresh air to have her their by my side.  I had a birth plan of  non pharmacological interventions and I was pretty set on keeping it completely natural. There were definitely moments when I felt like I wanted to ignore my birth plan and take the pain relief but Rosa knew what I needed, she was in tune with me and worked so well with my team of Midwives to ensure I was always comfortable.  I am so relieved I stuck it out but I could not have done it without my husband and Rosa and of course my midwife.  When we do it all over again I wouldnt hesitate to have her there again.  Thank you Rosa!

In 2018 I had my first child and my partner was not there for me... had it not been for Rosa i would've been alone and afraid and i was until Rosa showed up, whenever I think about it I'm so blessed to have been able to have a doula there for me and was so helpful in so many ways and was very supportive and helped me throughout the whole process. I even let her name my son when she said he looked like a Lucas I was like yep he's a Lucas! I highly reccomend Mama Rosa she's an amazing doula and woman.

Rosa supported my first birth with my son who was prematurely born at 28 weeks 4 days. She was attentive, supportive & more importantly non judgemental. My partner and I were young.  She helped lovingly engage my partner in supporting me throughout the birth. She came to my aide, right away. I never knew what a doula was, and I'm sure glad my first experience was with her. When I felt my anxiety & nerves start to raise Rosa helped keep me grounded and focused. at the time lacked support & I felt as if Rosa filled a void as "mama" it was respectful, professional, loving, supportive, and non judgemental. I went "hunting" for Rosa & I found her. I messaged her my concerns, and she was available to me at all costs. Again, no matter what she made me feel like I had someone in my corner. At 27 my water had broken, Rosa rushed to the hospital spent 12 hours with me  kept me calm, kept me grounded, kept my partner engaged, helped him support me through my contractions, made him feel like he was important. Rosa answered 2nd ring with her loving voice, and I told her, she rushed over and showed up within 30 min. My first labour I would say was beautiful, calming, grounded, and overall pretty quiet. However this one, I had 2 major panic attacks, my body was convulsing, I thought I was dying, and what did Rosa do? She reminded me of my strength, she reminded me how I'm a good mom, she reminded me I'm SAFE. She made me feel emotionally supported with a absolutely no judgement. At about 8 am labour stopped. But once again, Rosa showed up. Made me feel the same each time, If you're thinking of a doula I highly suggest Rosa. Although this is DEFINITELY my last pregnancy. I'm glad Rosa walked into my life. Thank you Rosa for everything you've done for my family and I.Even though I'm still pregnant  when the time comes I know you'll be there with your calming voice reminding me how I can do this.

Mine and my partners experience with Rosa as my doula was amazing. She was great, super helpful, included everyone I wanted there and knew what I wanted throughout my birth as she listened and cared for me. She included my partner in our decisions and was always there to just listen because she cares. Rosa was my doula for my 2nd&3rd babies. She kept in contact with me at all times, and even after I'd given birth she was there still. My 2nd daughter is now 6 and Rosa and I still keep in contact. My 3rd is 6 months now and she still checks in whenever she can to see if we need anything. You won't find anyone as amazing, caring & loving as Rosa. She doesn't just treat you like a client but as a friend too.

I highly recommend her as a doula & have to others! 

Thank you for everything you do Rosa,

as a doula and as a friend as we'll.

my experience with rosa was amazing, i felt very comfortable with her, she supported me prior to having my child. i was a single mom and don't know what i would've done without her, i was fearful as i was induced and rosa walked me through and helped me through it all, i definitely recommend her. i still to this day(4.5 years later) speak to her and she's still very supportive! ???? if you're looking for someone that truly cares about you and your family, rosa is who to go to! she goes above and beyond ????
