Testimonial for Rachel Stonebrook
When I decided I wanted a natural labor experience, I knew my husband and I would both need the support. I searched for several available doulas in my area and interviewed a hand full of them. When my husband and I left the meeting with Rachel we hadn't gotten 1/2 mile down the road before deciding that she was the right choice for someone to support us in this journey. She made us both feel so comfortable immediately and we felt her experience and knowledge was invaluable to be able to help us achieve the natural birth we wanted!
The postpartum visits we had with Rachel were great. She was very thorough with her questions to help us think through what we really wanted out of this journey and she was very informative with information. I love that she always checked in on me, to see how I was feeling both physically and emotionally. Her questions helped me to stay in tune with my body and my emotions.
Fast forward to delivery, i can honestly say the entire experience would likely have been very different if we hadnt hired Rachel. She helped to keep me focused, she helped to remind me at the peak of each contraction, when the pain was the most intense, that I just needed to ride the wave and it was about to come back down. She helped my husband to know exactly what would be beneficial to me! During each contraction she had him do a double hip squeeze to help open my pelvis, and it really helped to counter the pressure of the contraction. Without her knowledge and how she guided him to help me, I may not have been able to do it they way I did.
I feel like I had an incredible birth team to help me, and I am so glad we made the decision to hire Rachel to be a part of that team!!! I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a doula!
