It's a very special thing when you find someone that you just click with. A good friend recommended Becky to me as my husband and I were preparing to welcome our first baby into the world. From the moment I met Becky I knew I wanted her to be our doula. She is warm, kind, supportive, and funny, and we hired her on the spot. As a nervous first time mom-to-be with a high-risk pregnancy, I leaned on Becky a lot during my pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Prior to the birth of our daughter, Becky was always available to answer questions, checking in with me following each doctor's appointment and ultrasound. She was fully invested in us and our baby, and listened without judgment to our worries, concerns and plans for the birth. During the birth of our daughter, Becky was a calm and supportive presence in the delivery room. She established a wonderful working relationship with my husband that allowed him to be an active partner in my labor and delivery, and she worked seemlessly with the doctors and nurses. We also credit Becky with realizing that something was not entirely right during labor - her actions in recognizing what was happening and immediately getting the attention of the nursing staff at a crucial moment helped us get labor back under control. Without her we would not have been able to achieve the delivery we wanted. Becky's support and care for my family continued long after delivery, from her postpartum visit to phone calls and text messages as we struggled through the early weeks of breastfeeding and having a newborn. She has been an amazing source of support for me as a first-time mom, and her encouragement and cheerleading helped me persevere in breastfeeding. I'm honored to be able to call her a friend now. I recommend Becky without hesitation to anyone looking for a doula!
