Testimonial for Rachel Carbonneau, CD(DONA)
Hiring Rachel was the best decision I made with regard to my birth plans. She's very confident, knowledgeable, open, and supportive, and she put me at ease in the sessions we held leading up to my labor. I depended on her to guide me through a reasonable birth plan and make recommendations on my prenatal care. I switched OBGYN practices late in my pregnancy, and when I told the doctor who my doula was, he enthusiastically endorsed her. She had great relationships with the staff at GWU.
Rachel has extensive resources available to her clients in preparation for labor. She makes her self available to answer questions, provide direction, and tell you it's going to be OK! When I actually was in labor, there were some moments when I felt myself panic. Rachel was the only person in the room who could refocus me and keep me on track. I'm so thankful to her.
During our postpartum visit, she even gave me really useful tips for nursing. I'm very lucky to have found her.
