Testimonial for Ravae Sinclair, JD, CLC, PBD(NBPP), PPD(NBPP),PCD(DONA)
Having Ravae by my side was one of the best decisions I've made. She equipped me with knowledge & resources I needed at every stage. My husband is a doctor and at first was skeptical about having a doula, but by the end, Ravae had proven herself over and over and he trusted her expertise implicitly. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and has a calming & nurturing spirit. She made me feel like there was always someone walking through this journey with me. When my husband and I had different opinions on medically inducing labor, she helped us reach a common understanding and alleviate his concerns. During labor, she counseled me through the choices I had to make. She spent time educating me during pregnancy so I was better equipped to weigh my options in the heat of the moment. She was so helpful during delivery, coaching me through 1.5hr of pushing, giving me guidance, encouragement, and physical support. After baby was born, hospital staff complimented her on her skill & professionalism. Although things didn’t go exactly how I’d hoped, I’m at peace knowing I was in control and empowered to make my own decisions and not be pressured by medical staff to do things their way. I don’t know that I could say that if not for Ravae. I’m so glad she was there to help us through the first few weeks postpartum too. Her expertise as a lactation consultant is invaluable. My baby had a tongue tie that went undetected by hospital staff. A few days after baby was born, Ravae identified the tie and we were able to make arrangements to correct it right away. She also gave us a contingency plan for the meantime so that we could continue breastfeeding while making sure baby was being properly nourished. If we did not have Ravae’s eyes on us after we came home from the hospital, our breastfeeding journey probably would have ended prematurely. I cannot say enough good things about her. Ravae truly feels like part of the family now.
