Testimonial for Rebecca Turrigiano
After a not-so-great experience with our first birth, and a terrible recovery, I knew I wanted to look into different options when I found out I was pregnant with our second child. A friend referred us to Rebecca. We called and she met with us shortly after our initial contact. My husband and I felt such peace in her presence. Rebecca met with us two more times in our home before our daughter arrived, and each time she left we couldn’t believe how empowered and loved and prepared we felt. She offers exceptional advice and suggestions. And while she is knowledgeable and helpful, she’s also an exceptional listener. We felt heard and respected by her. She supported our choices and helped us in creating the exact birth plan we wanted.
When the time came for me to deliver, she knew exactly when to slip into the background and exactly when to step in for us. My birth was incredibly fast. So fast, that most of the experience is still a blur to me. But there was one part I remember so clearly. I was very set on having a natural birth. Just before the doctor gave me the green light to start pushing, I started to panic. I didn’t think there was anything that could calm me in that moment. And then there was Becca. There is something about her voice, calmness, and presence that was able to somehow reassure me in that moment that things were going to be OK. For just a brief moment, I was able to catch my breath again and focus.
We were able to have the exact birth we wanted with Becca’s help. And even after the birth, she has been of incredible help to me. We can't imagine Rebecca NOT being with us for the birth of any future children. She has truly found her calling and it clearly comes natural to her. She has a heart for the beauty of creation and we are so glad that we chose her to share in the experience with us. I would refer every single pregnant friend or family member I have to her. She’s truly amazing.
