Testimonial for Rebecca Belenky CD(DONA), CLEC, CBE
Rebecca is a quiet, calming force of nature. My wife and I were extremely grateful to have her doula for the birth of both our children, each under unique circumstances. As a partner, you want to be as supportive as possible, and having such a thoughtful guide like Rebecca made it so much easier to focus on being present for the emotional needs of my wife. For our first child, Rebecca steered my wife through an unmedicated birth, all during Covid, at a time of heightened stress for mothers and healthcare professionals alike. Looking back, I can’t imagine not having her there.
Rebecca is extremely emotionally intuitive. During my wife’s second birth, she was able to gently push back when an extremely well-meaning nurse was hurrying my wife to deliver a little more quickly than was perhaps necessary. I know it sounds extreme, but I feel like in the tense setting of a delivery room, this was one of the greatest acts of diplomacy I’ve ever witnessed. I don’t know that, in the stress of the moment, I would have been able to so calmly advocate for my wife in such a tactful manner. And that’s exactly what you get working with Rebecca—a thoughtful, experienced, steady hand to guide you through the incredible process.
