Testimonial for Rachael Gallagher, CPD, M.S.Ed.

I often joke that Rachael is the Mary Poppins of postpartum care. From the second week I was back from the hospital, she would arrive with a plan and magically make everything better in our home. I didn't even have to ask for anything — she held my newborn so I could sleep, made me fiber-rich meals for my postpartum recovery, helped me find a pelvic floor therapist within walking distance, answered millions of questions that were swirling around in my anxious postpartum brain, and the list goes on and on. She taught my husband and I how to give our son a bath, put him in a carseat safely, and help him learn how to fall asleep. When I wanted to breastfeed and pump, Rachael helped me figure that out. When I chose to stop breastfeeding, she was nonjudgmental and helped me figure out a new system. Rachael has made these sweet, tender, early months with my son joyful and doable. I'd never held a newborn before giving birth, and now I feel confident as a mom. I'm even making those fiber-rich recipes on my own, which is pretty amazing considering that I barely cooked before. I can't recommend Rachael enough!
