When my husband and I first met with Rebecca it took a matter of minutes for us to know that she was going to be the perfect addition to our birth team. Our instinct was right about Rebecca as she did above and beyond what we could have dreamed from a doula. During our prenatal meetings, she was able to answer the many questions that a first time mom would have about the delivery process and provide us with information and resources to help us prepare. She encouraged us to visualize what we wanted out of that day, from the delivery to post natal care for our baby. Her guidance and support made us go into that day feeling empowered, confident, and prepared for what was to come.
During labor, Rebecca was extremely intuitive, able to read just what support my husband and I needed without interrupting the experience. She knew when to step in and assist and when to step back and let my husband and I share private moments. Her warmth and calmness was contagious, helping us to release our own fear through difficult moments. She encouraged us to stay true our birth plan, as we had asked her to do. However, when it became necessary to make some decisions outside of our plan she was completely supportive. One of those necessary decisions ended up being a c-section. Rebecca was extremely helpful through the process and knew exactly what words of encouragement my husband and I needed to hear to get through it. She was with us every step of the way, even in the OR for the surgery. There she took a step back and photographed, beautifully capturing those precious first moments with our son that we will cherish for a lifetime.
I could not have asked for a better birth experience and for that I give credit to Rebecca. We could not have found a better doula and will continue to tell everyone we know who plans to have a baby in the future to give her a call. ? If you are considering Rebecca as your doula, you won't regret choosing her!
