Testimonial for Ravae Sinclair, JD, CLC, PBD(NBPP), PPD(NBPP),PCD(DONA)
Ravae was absolutely AWESOME!!! We found her through google when we were just trying to figure out if we even wanted to use a doula, and we are SO GLAD that we found her. This is the first child for my wife and I and we were both quite nervous about what to expect. From the initial consultation, it was easy to tell that Ravae was drawing on years of experience. She answered our questions patiently, calmed our anxieties with a comforting smile and empathy, and generally put us at ease in knowing that we wouldn't have to go through the process alone or relying only on what we'd read in the books. She provided real world descriptions of what to expect in a variety of situations and researched any questions that she didn't readily have an answer to. We were in contact with her by phone, text message, and email and she always made us feel welcomed (even if the contact was in the wee hours of the morning). When labor started, Ravae advised us on how to proceed, and met us at the hospital once it was determined that we would be staying there. She was there with us through the whole labor and delivery process, advocating for us as needed based on the birth plan that we had developed with her, providing support and breaks for me (the wife...well, she couldn't really take a break, but Ravae took good care of her too through constant encouragement, breathing support and relaxation techniques...basically everything), and she made sure we never felt alone or lost during the delivery process. Once our baby girl arrived, Ravae continued to check on us daily until we were discharged, then she met with us the day after we got home, and frequently thereafter, to provide breastfeeding support, to check in and make sure we were adjusting to new management, and just ensuring that our family got started on a firm foundation. I'm running out of room so let me say...having Ravae as our doula was a true blessing. THANK YOU RAVAE!!! M&E
