Testimonial for Ravae Sinclair, JD, CLC, PBD(NBPP), PPD(NBPP),PCD(DONA)
I will try to put into words how great Ravae is. Pregnant with our first child, I knew that we wanted to have the guidance and support of a doula during childbirth. My husband was a little skeptical at first, but agreed to interview various candidates. A friend told me about her experience with Ravae so we set up an interview. We video-chatted with Ravae and she was friendly, kind, understanding, and was very confident in her abilities and well-qualified. She readily answered all of my endless questions with patience and a smile! Most importantly, I was comfortable with her and felt that I could let my guard down and trust her to guide and support us through labor. Our minds were made up- we were hiring Ravae!
We felt so well prepared after having our classes with Ravae we couldn't believe how relaxed we felt. I had my birth plan mapped out and I felt great with my husband and Ravae in my corner. I had an illness with complications and contractions at 33 weeks and Ravae was in touch with my husband the entire night I was in the hospital, as well as checking in on me in the days following. Well, as luck would have it, I went into labor 3 weeks early and that’s when I realized how lucky we were to have found Ravae! She was with us throughout my birth, providing physical & emotional support. Looking back, I don't know how we would have made it through what turned out to be a birth that didn't go as planned had we not had Ravae's support. She has gone above and beyond in her postpartum support of me and for that I am eternally grateful. She continues to check in on us, always greeting us with "Hey, Family!"...and that’s exactly what she feels like to us now, a part of our family.
