Testimonial for Rebecca Benenati
Rebecca is an absolute gem of a doula and a person!
My mom passed away 7 years ago and I knew that I wanted a woman's presence while giving birth. I was also adamant on an unmedicated birth. And this is where Rebecca and her expertise came in.
Prior to my birth, Rebecca met not only with me, but with my husband as well to help prepare us both for what was to come (this was my first birth). I also had the chance to take prenatal yoga classes leading up to my birth too.
The day my water broke, I went to the hospital and Rebecca arrived shortly after. With the most calming yet high attentive presence. Without her advocating for me, I might've given birth in the triage room with 2 other ladies beside me. She also calmed my nerves and reassured me when I had one fleeting moment of doubt about whether or not I could actually continue laboring without an epidural. Her guidance with my husband in the room made the entire environment a peaceful and powerful one. I labored for 8 hours and my active labor was about 1 minute. And Rebecca made sure I bonded with my baby boy right away and also took the best pictures of us.
I'm planning on a second birth in the future and I have no doubt that Rebecca will be my doula again for that.
