My husband and I feel so fortunate that Ryah was our doula. I will definitely recommend her to all of my friends when they are pregnant! She is calm, confident and competent, and has the perfect temperament for the job. She went above and beyond every step of the way. Her prenatal meetings were thoughtful and thorough, and she always made sure all our questions were answered and we felt prepared for the next step. She even came to a midwife appointment so that they were acquainted before the big day. During labor, she helped both my husband and I keep our rhythm and stay as relaxed as possible. She provided great suggestions to help keep labor progressing and to help ease the pain of a natural birth at a birth center. If you would like, she will even document the birth for you! After the birth, she went back to our house while we were still recovering at the birth center and cleaned the house (she cleaned it even more than it was before labor!). She also does a postpartum visit to check in and see how we felt about our experience and if we had any other questions. And she brought us a delicious soup!! We felt well cared for every step of the way and are so grateful we got to work with Ryah. I could go on an on, but bottom line is that Ryah is a wonderful doula and will help make your birth experience amazing!
