Testimonial for Rachael Ibarra, BCD
If you’re newly pregnant and looking for someone who will walk alongside you with calm, evidence-based support—look no further than Rachael. We’ve been lucky enough to have her as our doula for both of our births, and I truly can’t imagine doing it without her.
Both of my pregnancies were complicated in different ways, and from the very beginning, Rachael was a steady, reassuring presence. She never pushed an agenda or told us what we “should” do—she simply gave us the information we needed to feel confident in our decisions. She helped us prepare thoughtful questions for our doctors, and made sure we felt heard and respected at every turn.
During labor, Rachael was incredible. She showed up right when we needed her (both times!) and supported not just me, but my husband too. She offered gentle coaching, helped guide the nurses in ways that worked for my body, and had a deep toolkit of pain management techniques that made a real difference. Her presence brought a quiet strength into the room—we felt safe, seen, and supported every step of the way.
She worked beautifully with the medical team, bridging the gap between clinical care and emotional support. And after our babies arrived, Rachael was still right there—tending to me, helping us settle in, and somehow also managing to capture the most beautiful, raw, and joyful birth photos that we will cherish forever.
Rachael just gets it. She holds space with grace, listens with compassion, and empowers you without ever overwhelming you. I recommend her from the deepest part of my heart—she made our birth experiences not only manageable but truly meaningful.
