Client Testimonials for Rachel Katyl

We really enjoyed working with Rachel to support our family. Rachel is a very caring and enthusiastic doula who listens to your needs as a client without pushing any personal agenda or beliefs. She was very reliable and supportive and helped us talk through/create a strong birth plan that was really essential and helpful during the birthing process. The process of talking through what we did and did not want ahead of the schedule c-section empowered me to feel more comfortable the day of the procedure to really emphasize my needs. Even if things didn't go "as planned" in every case, I felt better knowing that I had made my desires known to my medical team. Having someone to talk through "what to expect" is truly essential in my opinion, for the birthing person. I recommend having Rachel as your doula to help you feel more comfortable with all aspects of the process. I am a second time mom and knew somewhat to expect but having her services as a first time mom would be even more important! My experience the second time around (with a doula) was far superior to my experience the first time around (without a doula!) and I was able to have a much better birthing experience with basically no emotional trauma which was much different than the first time. Thank you Rachel for all of your help!
