Testimonial for Racquel Pogge, ICCE-BD, CVD(TVL)
Part 2:
As the planner I am, I decided to "interview" doulas. Rocky was my first and there were no more after her! I immediately knew she was the one! She had an energy that I connected with, she had the knowledge and also the comforting factor I needed. We met for 2 at home visits and were in touch via text throughout the remainder of my pregnancy. She is so incredibly easy to talk to and supportive of your wishes. This is YOUR birth and no one else’s! First time mamas, or mamas who had a traumatic experience with previous births, you need Rocky in your life!
I had a very long and difficult labor. One that from the start was completely different from our "plan". I believe that a lot of the trauma and/or sadness that mamas may feel can come from not knowing how to navigate a birth that doesn't "go as planned". It is so important to be at ease with and confident throughout the entire labor/birth process and Rocky absolutely helped with this. She was INCREDIBLE! Every step of the way, she was there for my husband and I providing exactly what we needed. She makes you feel comfortable yet isn't invasive. She can read the room and knows exactly what her place is. She is strong (physically and mentally) and never ever makes you doubt yourself or your birth. She is kind and smart and has plenty of tools in her belt! After our experience, my husband says Rocky was the best money we've EVER spent! lol It wasn't a service she provided - it was an experience we'll never forget and Rocky is a human we will never forget!
