Testimonial for Raychel Franzen, CD(DONA), CLC, LCCE
As a first time mom, I am so glad that Raychel was there with us to be a part of our son's birth story. She is such a warm, fun and wonderful person and we were instantly comfortable with her as soon as we met with her. She is also very organized, reliable, informative and such a wonderful resource with any questions I had regarding the pregnancy, labor and birth. Fortunately, we were able to have the birth experience close to what we wanted thanks to her help and we will be forever grateful that she was there for us. She was also very encouraging and reassuring when we encountered news from providers about potential concerns. We learned so much from her during the prenatal visits, email and text correspondence before and after the birth and she was always so quick to respond to all my questions with so much detailed information. It was such a relief to have her there knowing she was on our team. I can't say enough wonderful things about her. I had very intense back labor that progressed very quickly and she was there to support me and my husband during the worst of it when I was in a lot of pain and things got stressful. She remained calm and comforting and knew massage, labor positions, aromatherapy and rebozo techniques to help me endure every contraction(she is also very strong and was able to apply a lot of the pressure that I needed). Her postnatal visit was also very helpful and she always made it a point to give us all the information we might need about postpartum recovery, breastfeeding, etc.
In short, she is such an amazing person and a wonderful doula and we are so lucky to have had her with us in such a big event of our lives.
