Testimonial for Rachel Stonebrook
I was on the fence about hiring a doula for the birth of my second child, having achieved an unmedicated delivery with the first. When I struggled to find someone who'd be a stylistic match I nearly gave up - but then I met Rachel!
Rachel was everything I wanted for my birth support team: smart, straightforward, funny and endlessly supportive. In our very first conversation she gave me advice that led to me changing my healthcare provider (best decision ever!), and she was always just a text or call away throughout my pregnancy.
When it came to the delivery, it was important to me to have someone I not only trusted but enjoyed being around, and Rachel was the perfect presence. Her unflappable, pragmatic, encouraging approach was absolutely what I wanted and needed. She kept the atmosphere relaxed, positive and low key, and I'm so grateful to have had her there.
I can't recommend Rachel enough. She's knowledgeable, insightful, upbeat and loads of fun! Anyone giving birth would be lucky to have her, and in particular I think she'd be a fantastic support for LGBTQ couples/individuals, single moms, or anyone who feels marginalized by the birth industry. She really is fantastic, and my only regret is I can't time-travel her back to my first birth!
