Testimonial for Rachael Gallagher, CPD, M.S.Ed.
We’re really grateful for the support we received from Rachael. She showed up fully prepared from day one, even coming on a Sunday when she found out I had an unexpected C-section. She set up our space, organized what we needed and made the transition home much less stressful. Her knowledge shows in how she works. As a former teacher, she explains things clearly, gives practical guidance and shares information in a way that lets you make informed decisions. She documents everything, organizes resources and follows evidence-based care while still respecting our choices. She also helped us understand what to ask our pediatrician. One of our biggest stress points was car seat safety, and having her as a car seat expert made a huge difference. Her breastfeeding support was extremely helpful. I struggled with pumping and getting breastfeeding started- she helped me choose the right pump and parts, and arranged an IBCLC appointment very quickly when I needed further help. She also supported my C-section recovery by suggesting products, assisting with safe movement and helping with incision care. Even taking my first stroller walk felt easier with her there. She took care of our baby’s needs during those six weeks with so much attention and skill - helping with every part of newborn care. She guided us through the first bath, tummy time, soothing, babywearing, and more. On top of all this, she’s personable, thoughtful and very practical. She adapted to our needs, prepared healthy snacks before I even asked and was great to talk to during those early weeks when everything felt new and intense. Having both support and normal adult conversation mattered more than I expected. In short, she is highly skilled, reliable, and genuinely caring. We’re grateful for how she showed up for our family, and I would confidently recommend her to any new parent looking for knowledgeable, evidence-based, supportive postpartum care
