Testimonial for Rebecca Turrigiano
I was a last minute client and from the beginning, Rebecca was very engaged in the process - quick to respond and dependable. I was hoping for a natural birth without pain medications in a hospital. She was flexible and worked well with me and my family. The prenatal appt was informative and inspiring; she was the first person to tell me about a slow leak when your water breaks, which actually happened to me. After I arrived at the hospital, she kept in touch until we decided it was time for her to come in. The minute she got there with her positive attitude, assertiveness, and calming personality, I felt so relieved. During times of concern, she kept our worries at bay while still being realistic. The doctors strongly pushed Pitocin and an epidural on me since my membranes had been ruptured more than 24 hours and I wasn’t progressing "fast enough." Rebecca suggested working through any emotional blockages, as they could have been holding me back. With her guidance and meditation practices, I finally was able to let go. Her pain management techniques truly did ease my pain and helped me listen to my body. Rebecca was instrumental in re-positioning baby, which avoided a lot of extra pain for mama. Rebecca was by my side the whole time during labor and provided sunshine in the room. After I went home, she was quick to hand-deliver the encapsulated placenta and tincture. She checked in on my post-partum recovery including lactation and well-being. She edited and printed photos of my labor, which are fantastic- she caught the perfect moments. She also wrote an account of my labor through her eyes, something for the memory books. Rebecca takes a lot of pride in her work; her finishing touches are thoughtful and tasteful. Despite all her knowledge and preparedness, what I appreciated most was her loving kindness, confidence, and mindfulness. I can't recommend her enough. I have such beautiful memories of my son's birth and so much of that I owe to Rebecca.
