I cannot recommend Raizel enough! She is the best doula I've had (and this was my fourth birth) She is sensitive, knowledgeable, patient, encouraging and I could not have done it without her. Especially if you're trying for a Vbac, and your need are more specific, I would definitely recommend going with Raizel! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Raizel was an amaizng doula to work with. She is extremely knowledgeable and experienced. She provided thoughtful insight to all the questions I had. Throughout my pregnanacy, Labor, delivery, and postpartum I felt extremely supported by Raizel in making decisions that best aligned with my goals of a natural childbirth. I value having had Raizel at my birth for her hand on support and informed decision making. I certainly hope to have her at all my births !

Raizel was a lifesaver for me, or shall I say - birthsaver. I could not imagine going through labor without her support. She was there for me completely, and I totally relied on her. Raizel was a listening ear, a comforting presence, and a physical and emotional support in every way. She was there for me during pregnancy, labor, and even after the birth.

Raizel was an invaluable part of my second birth (no doula for the first). I was initially unsure about having anyone "extra" in my birth space but I am so so glad we chose to have Raizel as a doula. Even with an unexpected medically-necessitated induction she helped me to make choices that were true to my labor/ birth goals so that I still got to have the birth that I hoped for in every way that mattered. 10/10 would recommend!

Raziel was an amazing doula for my 3rd pregnancy! I wanted a different experience and I did not have a doula in my other 2 natural births.
I am so thankful I found Raziel. She was there to answer questions, help me stay on track of my birth plan and was a wonderful person to be around! She has a true gift in what she does! I was ready to give in and do a epidural or whatever to get our 3rd baby out but she was there right when I needed the extra boost of encouragement to stick it out! I am so glad I did! Another natural birth and mom and baby are doing well!

My husband and I decided to enlist the help of a doula pretty late in my pregnancy at my doctor's recommendation to ease my anxiety about the process, and we couldn't be more pleased with our decision to work with Raizel. Not only did she put our minds at ease prior to labor by answering all of our questions and preparing us for what to expect, but also she was such a calming presence during the labor itself. She was so encouraging and helpful in addressing my labor pain with massage/position changes/etc. When my baby was born, there was a complication, and she had to be treated in a hurry. Raizel stayed by my side, which allowed my husband to go with the baby. I was and am still so grateful for her wonderful care and in-depth knowledge. I'm convinced my birth experience went as well as it did because of Raizel's involvement, and if we decide to have any more children, she'll be our first call!

I hired Raizel around 20 weeks. From that day forward I had a teammate with my twin pregnancy.  Many questions arose throughout the pregnancy, many revolving around comfort, health, and preparation.  I was treated by both a midwife and a high risk physician (twins). Even with such a great team, there were several questions Raizel was the only one who could find the answers from her network of birth workers and experience.  She never once pushed her opinion on me, but was very honest when I asked. This was so valuable.

When labor began, it felt as if she was there immediately haha My labor was a success from her supporting me with massage, encouragement and helping me understand how normal labor was going. 

I needed medical attention and while my family were with my babies. Raizel was with me holding my hand in the ER. As well as helping me pump for my babies.

Raizel is the calm in the storm and the best support I've ever had with any goal, in my life. She is to be cherished.

I would highly recommend Raizel as a doula. She was knowledgeable of what was going on even when I wasn't and stayed calm and present through the entire labor. She had lots of ideas on how to make me more comfortable and alleviate pain. Her love for babies and being a doula was felt through the entire experience. 5 stars!

I could not have asked for a better doula than Raizel! She was so helpful and available to answer any questions I may have had during my 9th month. During labor, Raizel was supportive and proactive in all ways. She always had a pulse on the situation and would jump in to assist in her caring way. I highly recommend Raizel as a supportive and caring doula!
