Testimonial for Rachel Mueller CD(DONA), CLC, (M.A.P.), CPM, LM
After meeting with several doulas, we chose Rachel because of her impressive organizational skills and obvious passion to support us in birthing naturally. I remember her writing after we met that we were "well on our way to a natural birth experience". It was little things like that that made me know that Rachel would provide me with confidence during my birthing time. Additionally, Rachel seemed really excited about our desire to birth at home and helped me to feel even more comfortable that we had made the right choice in that decision.
During the birthing time, Rachel was always helpful with suggestions for different positions and techniques to help manage my pressure waves. She provided many reminders that I was doing well and she helped me to stay in a positive mental space, even when I would occasionally feel insecure.
In the end, we ended up having a beautiful, all-natural home birth and welcomed our baby into the world in exactly the way we had hoped.
