Testimonial for Raychel Franzen, CD(DONA), CLC, LCCE

Raychel was an amazing partner in our entire birthing experience. From the first meetings where she helped us understand the labor and delivery process (did I mention we are first-time parents?) to the resources she shared between meetings to help us feel more prepared, she was a calming and reassuring presence going into this monumental event. I went into labor at 1am and was texting with Raychel shortly thereafter. Then my husband took over and called her when it was clear that my contractions were the real deal. She joined us at our apartment and helped me cope with the pain until she knew it was the right time to go to the hospital. I was 9.5 cm dilated when we arrived and two hours later was holding our newborn daughter. We wanted an unmedicated vaginal delivery with as little time at the hospital as possible, and that's exactly what we got. We couldn't have asked for a better partner to help us understand our choices and guide us through a sometimes overwhelming experience.
