Testimonial for Becky Rohrback CD(DONA) SBD

As soon as Becky entered the room, it was like my family and I had known her for years. When she walked in, I noticed right away that her shirt read “Let’s Do-ula this!” and I knew we were in amazing hands :) Her fun and thoughtful approach truly made her a joy to be around and she stayed by my side for the next 12 hours that followed. I honestly do not ever remember asking Becky for anything….she just made things appear that I needed. Whether it was a glass of water, a hand to hold, back support, a joke or just a smile, Becky was always ready before I was. Beyond her happy and friendly demeanor though, I can tell you without reservation that Becky knows hospitals, she knows birth and she knows women. She knows just what you need before you need it, is full of great suggestions, serves as a gentle but strong advocate and has a natural intuition as to when to be hands on/off. When things got very intense and I just was not progressing, it was Becky who suggested the peanut ball to the hospital nurses. The peanut ball ended up taking me from 3cm to 9cm dilated within an hour. Beyond her knowledge, her genuine and caring demeanor provided invaluable support and coaching not only to me but also to my mom and husband who were in the room. She offered them breaks when needed and helped them to keep a strong positive energy in the room even when things got tough. Becky has continued to follow-up with us out of genuine whole-heartedness and even came to my son’s “sip and see” event, which was more than a 90-minute drive for her to attend. She is a special spirit and helped me to achieve a birth experience that I honestly boast about. I will always look back on that day with a great smile and no regrets and much of that is thanks to Becky’s strong, kind and loving presence
