Testimonial for Rachel Stonebrook
Review for Rachel
Rachel took me on at 37 weeks when things were starting to sound like this birth might be more intense. Baby was suspected to be pretty big and she was in a less than ideal position. I knew having a doula to support and guide me would be the best chance at having the all natural birth experience I wanted. Even though our prenatal time was limited, Rachel worked hard to make sure we still had time to get to know each other and feel comfortable before it was go time. She worked with me to give me exercises to get baby in the best possible position for birth. An ultrasound the day before delivery proved it all worked - baby had adjusted into prime position. Rachel was a calm and reassuring presence from the moment I met her. She helped me work through penvious birth issues, anxiety, and exude the confidence I needed to achieve the birth I envisioned. I was able to deliver my daughter naturally with her guidance. Initially, my husband had reservations about using a doula - he was concerned about someone else being my support through labor instead of him. After delivery, he was as grateful for Rachel as I was. They worked together to help keep my mind and energy where if needed to be. He was thankful for the guidance she gave him and felt more confident in the ways he could support me.
Rachel even continued to provide support after delivery and has always made herself available when I had questions or needed to talk. Not at all because she had to, but because that's the kind of person she is. She truly cares about her clients and their wellbeing. Even several days after texting her about a problem (6 weeks post partum), she was checking in and making sure I was okay and offering all kinds of help.
The only thing that I regret is not having Rachel from the beginning. I couldn't recommend hee more. If you need a doula who is truly passionate about what she does and providing the best care for clients, she's your girl.
