Our trusted friend and birth doula referred us over to Rae for overnight doula care. We (the parents) had hit two months with our newborn and badly needed some nights off. This was by far the best investment we've made. Rae immediately connected with our baby and knew what to do to soothe him, and it was so lovely to have her positive energy in our home. I only wish we hired her when our baby was younger so we didn't have to miss out on all that rest in the beginning!! Thanks Rae!

My husband and I received help with overnights from Rachel with our newborn and it was such a game changer having someone we could trust with our baby while we got some sleep! Couldn’t recommend her help more! She was wonderful :)

Rachel is amazing! We had her support for overnights as we welcomed our daughter to our lives. She is so kind and caring! We highly recommend her services and will hire her again if we have another opportunity!

We loved every single thing about working with Rachel. From the first moment I met her at a "Meet the Doulas" event, she made an impression as a warm, caring, intuitive soul who I could just tell was the right fit for our birth journey. Throughout the weeks leading up to delivery, she provided us with so much invaluable information and helped us prepare for what was the come. We could tell that she really got us and tailored the experience accordingly. Having her by our side for birth lent so much comfort and stability and we can't imagine going through the process without her!

Rachel is incredible!

We can’t imagine how we would’ve made it as new parents without her. She is warm, calm, caring, supportive, and funny. She is helpful with offering reassurance, information, and problem solving. She was so sweet with our son and supportive of us. He would light up when he saw her and she was wonderful at soothing him. She would always go above and beyond- finding ways to be helpful. 

Rachel was like a part of our family and we will miss her dearly. We would be delighted if we ever had the chance to work with her again.
