Testimonial for Rachel Connolly Kwock, CD(DONA), CLC
Working with Rachel turned out to be one of the best decisions of our pregnancy. We chose Rachel because her calming, positive and supportive energy was exactly what we were looking for in a doula. We got to know her very well during her prenatal visits. During those visits, she was full with infitite wisdom and was able to show us plenty of stretches, techniques and practices to help prepare for labor. She had plenty of books and documentation that she shared with us to help us feel even more prepared. We really enjoyed the prenatal visits because we were able to get to know Rachel and become very comfortable with her.
During labor she was so supportive and helped me labor with confidence and positivity. She was in constant contact with my husband via text during early labor until she met us at the birthing center. During labor Rachel was quick to offer comfort measures and position changes to help me. After the delivery, my husband held the baby while Rachel was supporting me during my bleeding and repairs. Rachel stayed with us for hours after the birth and helped us with the first breast feedings. She made she that we were comfortable, fed, and hydrated. She even snapped a few memorable pictures when our baby was first born that we will cherish forever.
Rachel has continued to check up with us during our postpartum period to ensure we were recovering and getting adapted to parent life. She's continued to offer advice and to help troubleshoot with breastfeeding during the first weeks at home.
