Testimonial for Rachel Brown CD(DONA)
I can't say enough great things about our experience with Rachel as our Doula. This was our first child and while I had done a bit of my own research on the kind of birth I was hoping for, there were plenty of things that we hadn't thought about. She helped us navigate our options and worked with us to understand and illuminate what would be our ideal experience. She has a lovely warmth to her personality and a very calming presence. She was incredibly validating and reassuring to us when questions would inevitably arise and she was always availble to talk. I had a very quick labor, heading to the hospital in the middle of the night thinking we would be sent home after a quick check due to some bleeding. Our baby was born 3 hours after we arrived and Rachel was there in 20 minutes when we realized we would be staying. She brought the calming energy and support that I needed during a natural birth. She was hands on helping me into position changes, letting me know that everything I was experiencing during contractions was normal and encouraged me through every push that brought our baby girl earthside. When I think about my birth experience, I really would not have changed a thing. I know that Rachel played a large role in that sentiment. My husband didn't understand at first what a doula was. He was incredibly supportive and championed whatever I felt like I needed during this time. He was so glad we had Rachel with us along this journey bc her information helped him better understand what to expect and how to show up for me. It also took a lot of stress and nervous energy away during the birth bc he felt like he had help in supporting me. The aftercare was also wonderful. It was so nice to see her again in our home where she could answer our many 'new parent' questions and concerns. There are some people that I think are in perfect alignment with what they do for a living - Rachel falls into that category.
