I am so happy to have Rebecca as our doula for our first pregnancy. My husband and I contacted Rebecca later in our pregnancy due to just moving from another country to Phoenix. It was such a great experience and Rebecca has vast knowledge on all types of resources. It definitely helped me since I was not so familiar with Phoenix area. I was in so much pain due to common pregnancy symptoms such as sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, fatigue, etc, and the Acupuncturist Rebecca recommended was fantastic.What my husband and I loved about Rebecca was that she is highly professional, open-minded, and well prepared. I was in labor for almost 40 hours and Rebecca was with us for 30 hours of it. I cannot imagine how tired she must been, but she was very supportive throughout the whole process, while giving us the space we need. She was great with all the hospital staff and what made a big difference is that when the doctor commented that the baby’s positioning was not ideal, Rebecca worked with the RN to change my positioning so that my baby can be better positioned for birth. I really believe this helped avoid having a possible C-section and I am so happy that I was able to deliver vaginally. We were aiming for a natural birth, but ended up having to get an epidural/ Pitocin due to being in labor too long. It was upsetting at the time, but Rebecca reminded us of what we discussed in our previous meetings. Plan A may have been our first choice, but under circumstance, we had to go with Plan B – which is still an ideal situation. She really did manage our expectations and we couldn’t be happier! We also opted for the placenta encapsulation and so far I’m loving it. The photos Rebecca took was just precious. I’m glad someone was there to capture the special moment and it was great reliving the moment together with the husband. Overall, we loved having Rebecca as our doula and we would recommend her to all our friends and family!
