Testimonial for Racquel Pogge, ICCE-BD, CVD(TVL)
Words cannot express how wonderful my experience with Racquel has been. From the moment I interviewed even up until not, when I am five months post partum. My partner and I have nothing but praises to share! Not only is she caring, compassionate, thoughtful, inclusive, keen on details and a great teacher; she is also quite funny and very approachable. She always listened to all my thoughts, concerns and ideas with great care. Whatever I needed, she was right there to support me. She has a wealth of knowledge on pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding and so much more. I could not have prepped my body for delivery without her guidance at all. Her passion for birth and supporting mamas (and dads) on their journey is grandiose, and she aims to make every experience unique. I'm amazed at how well she molds to her families! She provided evidence-based information for us when we had various questions on birth options, laboring techniques and vaccines for me during my last trimester. She helped with planning the birth area at home and even collaborated with my family on delivery day so I didn't have to worry about anything. She cared for me AND my partner. During labor, she was present with me from the first contractions whether it be in text or person and even came over earlier than planned so we could have support. She listened to me, taught me how to listen to my body, and was a phenomenal birthing partner especially when moments got tumultuous. There were quite a few moments where she looked me in the eyes and reminded me of how well I was doing and how strong I was, and it was always when I needed it most. Even after I had the baby, she checked on me frequently and came to visit a couple times. It was such a relief to have her support during pregnancy, birth and afterwards. Having someone to empathize with me during the adjustment helped me feel normal! I had an amazing experience and couldn't have done any of it with Racquel. We're keeping her as our doula!
