Testimonial for Rheja McRae (Gilchrist)
Since the day we first met, we knew that Rheja was the right person to provide us with the support we needed. She truly seemed like an old friend to us, right from the start. She is very experienced, supportive, kind and knowledgeable. After every session we had with Rheja before the birth of our child, we felt that we learned a lot and were much better prepared for our baby. During the labour, her pain relief strategies were so helpful and made the whole process more pleasant. Her support and inputs in the decision making process were crucial - we made much more informed decisions and felt much more confident while making them. She was our safe place, the person to go to and ask questions, and there were many. In our experience of having a hospital birth with our doctor and Rheja by our side, we wouldn’t change a single thing. After the birth, we’ve received some great breastfeeding advices from her, tips and tricks that can certainly only come from someone who is as experienced as Rheja is. It is important to note that Rheja's help is critical for birth partners as it is for mothers, giving them the necessary support to navigate through these exciting, but also challenging and unfamiliar times, and showing them how to best support their partner through the labor and beyond it.
