One of the best decisions we made for my first child’s birth was having Rheja Gilchrist by our sides. Her experience, deep knowledge and intuitiveness helped make the birth experience an extremely positive one. Potentially tense situations were made smooth because of her gentle direction. She never focused on being the centre of attention, but rather acted as a guide to help my husband, mother and sister be part of the day in helpful, appropriate, and nurturing ways. My whole family was grateful for her compassion and perception. We definitely hope she will be by our sides for baby #2!
