Testimonial for Raychel Franzen, CD(DONA), CLC, LCCE
Raychel is a warm and intelligent woman which made me feel comfortable and confident having her as our doula for the birth of my second child Sofia.
During our prenatal visit, what I remember most was practicing different pain relief strategies with touch, props and movement. We laughed at moments, but also got serious and focused. Most of all I remember that she had hands of magic. During the actual labor- laughter, focus and massage were all wonderful tools we put to use!
Raychel was the best support possible during my labor. She was there to support me and my partner. She knows how to ebb and flow which is exactly what happens before and during contractions. I remember her giving my partner breaks or encouragement when he needed them.
Raychel has a great energy and almost a sixth sense. She kept me comfortable and confident during the entire labor experience by guiding me and helping me relax when it was really intense.
During the postnatal visit, it felt like Raychel was already a part of our family so it was easy to talk to her about daily struggles with a newborn. She offered excellent advice on postpartum issues like breastfeeding and sleeping, but also checked to make sure baby was latching on and breastfeeding well. She went beyond our expectations with continued support by phone and email for our now 2 month old daughter.
