My experience with the Swedish doula services was absolutely amazing. My doula Rebekah was extremely helpful and a true blessing to me and my family. With this being my first pregnancy and first baby I was nervous, scared, and anxious for labor and Rebekah made that day a breeze! I ended up being induced at 36Weeks due to complications and Rebekah was there through the whole thing. I don't think I would have gotten through that labor without her. She was extremely helpful with keeping me comfortable and encouraging me throughout the whole process. During such a vulnerable time she was my voice and helped me understand exactly what was going on with my induction. She expressed my needs and wants to my medical care team and made sure they understood what I was needing. My family absolutely adored Rebekah, I asked my family to share their experience with Rebekah and they stated that " she is very sweet, caring, and nurturing " and I couldn't agree more. The biggest help came postpartum when I was able to have Rebekah visit for the first 6 weeks. It was extremely helpful to have Rebekah around as it allowed me to catch up on rest knowing my baby was in great hands. My baby absolutely loves Rebekah. Rebekah is extremely knowledgeable about breastfeeding and helped me find positions that were easier for me and my baby. Rebekah helped with suggestions on things that would help my milk supply and I can say they actually worked. I am forever grateful for Rebekah and the doula services through Swedish!

Rebekah provided night support for our family over the course of 8 weeks, and we couldn’t have been more pleased with her services. She is both professional and warm-hearted, creating a comforting and supportive environment for both our baby and us as parents. When our little one caught a cold, Rebekah took exceptional care of her, showing not only her expertise but also her genuine concern for our baby's well-being. Her presence was invaluable during this time, and we are deeply grateful for her dedication. I highly recommend Rebekah to any family in need of a caring and skilled doula.

I cannot say enough about how amazing our experience with Rebekah was in the months following the birth of our baby. Rebekah came to meet with us prior to our child's birth and we immediately knew she was the right fit. She stopped by for a short visit at the hospital, to check in on how I was doing, to meet our little one, and to drop off pastries, something incredibly thoughtful and needed at that time. She was knowledgeable and always had helpful and supportive advice and suggestions but never made us feel like our decisions or thoughts weren't what was right for our family. She provided incredible care for our son; I absolutely never had a second thought about his wellbeing when he was with Rebekah, I could see how genuinely she cared for him. Rebekah also helped us keep our lives together in the hectic, stressful, and wonderful postpartum time by doing miscellaneous things around the house, things which we didn't ask for but Rebekah knew we needed such as laundry, dishes, and making several incredible meals. Rebekah supported our family both during overnight shifts as well as during the day, both of these types of services were invaluable in their own right. Rebekah was a critical piece of our support system and community and my transition into motherhood would have been so different, and much more challenging, without her gentle support. Rebekah is incredibly skilled as a postpartum doula and I cannot recommend her enough. She allowed us to spend our time and energy focused on our little one and helped us down the road into parenthood. If you have the resources and are thinking of whether a postpartum doula would be helpful, contact Rebekah immediately. Our family will be forever grateful to have known Rebekah and for her to be a part of the first months of our son's story.

Rebekah stayed in the hospital with me as a postpartum doula right after my delivery.  It is difficult to overstate how helpful Rebekah was during this important time.  Leading up to the delivery, Rebekah checked in and made sure I felt completely supported, even when she was not there.  When Rebekah came to the hospital, I immediately felt her calming presence and comfortable knowing she would be assisting in the care of my newborn baby.

In all of our interactions, Rebekah was respectful, kind, and knowledgeable.  She respected my preferences while also offering valuable assistance with newborn care and breastfeeding.  When it came to caring for the newborn, Rebekah was extremely gentle and calming.  Throughout the entire time, I felt very grateful that Rebekah was there.  

I would look to Rebekah for any future postpartum needs and will always appreciate the care she provided.

We highly recommend Rebekah as a postpartum doula! She helped take care of our little one over her first 2+ months, and was always loving, patient, and knowledgeable from all her experience as both a doula and a mother. Our daughter Kaia hasn't been particularly difficult, but being up throughout the night with a newborn is tiring no matter what! And Rebekah always had the sweetest attitude about whatever had happened – nothing ever seemed to faze her. As we started to push Kaia to sleep longer through the night, Rebekah was very patient and skilled at helping her achieve new sleep milestones. A win for any family!

My husband and I both enjoyed chatting with and getting to know Rebekah a bit each time she arrived for the night. In my first days as a new mother, she was so kind and supportive. Logistically, she is also extremely reliable and punctual. We never had any worries on a Rebekah night. I wish we'd had more time working together (but we were each leaving the country for a few months with our respective families). Thank you Rebekah for all that you did for our family!
