Testimonial for Bellwether Doulas
I can't say enough about how amazing Rachelle is as a doula (and as a human in general!). When I met Rachelle, I immediately knew I wanted to work with her. I chose Rachelle, because she has a no BS approach. She gives direct, straight forward answers to all my questions based on sound scientific evidence and her own extensive experience. (I found some other doulas to be a bit too wishy washy and vague in an effort to respect individual wishes. Rachelle just gave me answers, which I liked!) She is also very well respected and has a great relationship with Dr's Morton & Magee at Landmark Hospital.
When we arrived at the hospital, Rachelle made sure that everything in my birth plan was implemented. She was hands on throughout the entirety of my labor (literally put counter pressure on my hips through every contraction for hours and hours). I'm not sure how I would have gotten through labor without her. She was my advocate and supporter both physically & mentally. I was in labor for about 20hrs (first baby), used a tub and nitrous oxide, but otherwise had a natural birth of a 8# 13oz baby at 41 weeks + 1 day. I couldn't have asked for my birth to go any better and I'm certain that Rachelle's support was a HUGE contributor to my success.
As a bonus...Rachelle did our birth photos and they are worth every single penny!! They captured so many powerful moments that I'm so grateful I will have for a lifetime. A spouse or family member could never have captured all those moments. Absolutely get birth photos!!!
