Testimonial for Rebecca Belenky CD(DONA), CLEC, CBE
Rebecca was our birth doula for 2 of our 3 births and she is absolutely fantastic!! She will always hold a special place in my heart because of how supportive, calm, giving and empathetic she is as a person but especially during labor as well as throughout our prenatal and postpartum visits.
It’s hard to put into words how big of a difference having her help and support for labor made compared to our first birth.
Just even her presence, knowing she was there, was incredibly comforting and helped me reaffirm to myself that I could do this and that it would be ok. We talked a lot prenatally about how she could help during labor and Rebecca really came through, always providing cold towels for my forehead and constantly massaging my temples and head, shifting to low back pressure during contractions, pouring warm water over my back in the bathtub to help relax and calm me… she worked continuously without pause to keep me as comfortable as possible during active labor and when the pain and discomfort was too much I had to complain she agreed with me and made me feel heard and acknowledged and that I could get through it.
Rebecca is also a fantastic cook and made really yummy nourishing meals postpartum for us that we were able to freeze and enjoy over a few weeks after our babies arrived. It was really helpful and felt like the equivalent of a hug from her.
I would describe Rebecca as incredibly calm and grounding, a great listener and very empathetic and also good at anticipating your needs in labor. She is also very knowledgeable and has a great network of colleagues and resources to support you and baby prenatally and postpartum.
If you are looking for someone with a quiet but strong and calm presence to support you and your birth experience, Rebecca is it :)
