I am beyond grateful for Rachel, my online doula. From the start, she was incredibly kind, caring, and attentive, always making me feel supported. She has an amazing ability to listen, and I always felt heard and understood. Despite being several hours away, Rachel went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed and that I felt confident throughout the process. Her compassion and non-judgmental nature created a safe space, and she helped boost my confidence every step of the way. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better doula and feel so fortunate to have had her support. I highly recommend Rachel!

Having Rachel on my birth team was the best decision I could have made. She was a rock for me throughout, and was such a source of peace and calm for me. Rachel valued my preferences for my birth plan without judgment and held true to advocating for me at all times. My birth story had many unexpected turns, and Rachel stayed by my side, along with my husband, for the wild ride. I had Rachel with me in the birth center and at the hospital after a transfer was needed. She never missed a beat and took care of me so thoughtfully. From the first interview to prenatal appointments to the actual birth of my first baby, Rachel kept looking out for me and helped me feel empowered throughout my birth journey. She even took pictures and helped transport my placenta for encapsulation, which was so helpful because we remained at the hospital for longer than expected. I felt like Rachel was one of the best parts of my birth story, and I know she would be a wonderful addition to any birth team!

Rachel was an incredible support during my labor and emergency C-section. She was kind, calming, and incredibly helpful throughout the whole experience. I couldn’t imagine having anyone else by my side during such an intense time. So grateful for her presence and support!

Rachel has been apart of our family for 4 years. I connected with her on social media after many failed attempts of finding the perfect baby sitter. At the time I had a 1 and half year old and was pregnant with my 2nd child. It was very important I connected with the potential babysitter and really trusted them with my nonverbal child.  Immediately when we started talking via text,  I knew she would be a great fit. Soon after I invited her over for a meet and greet, and  she's been apart of our family ever since. Our 2 year old was diagnosed with Down syndrome and needs a little extra attention, someone to take care of her with patience, and at the time she had food limitations and was nonverbal.  Rachel listens, is extremely caring and truly loves my children. The mom anxiety doesnt happen when she watched my children, I knew they were in the best care. Rachel also was wonderful helping with dishes, laundry, caring for my newborn. My 2nd child was very stubborn with a bottle. Rachel stepped right in and helped feed her from the bottle. With a little patience and many attempts, bottle was drank! She listens to your family needs and executes. Hands down she is a wonderful babysitter,  caregiver, friend and now family member!
