We met and interviewed several wonderful doulas prior to selecting Rebecca as our birth doula. What set her apart for us was her extensive knowledge about birth and lactation, her personal and professional birth experiences, the way that she is intentional about her collaboration not only with my family members but also with members of the medical team (as I had a hospital delivery), and possibly most importantly--how her calm and confident demeanor made us feel about our upcoming birth experience. In prenatal counseling, Rebecca provided excellent information and resources, addressing our concerns and questions. When it came time for the baby to arrive, Rebecca guided and encouraged us through early labor by phone. She was invaluable once arriving at the hospital, providing direction for me and my family members in strategies for natural pain management, reminding me of my goals and my options as circumstances developed, supporting my decisions and helping me to feel positively about changing my plans, and expertly guiding position changes and coaching me through delivery. While doing all of this, she captured some beautiful moments with her camera that we are grateful to have! Though my little girl began breastfeeding with little to no problem, it was comforting to me to know that I had Rebecca as a resource if things did not go easily. We are so glad that Rebecca was our doula, and hope that she will be able to help us again if we are so blessed as to further expand our family!
