Testimonial for Ravae Sinclair, JD, CLC, PBD(NBPP), PPD(NBPP),PCD(DONA)
Look no further - working with Ravae is the best decision you'll make. Ravae was a highlilght of my entire birth experience. I tell anyone who will listen that we don't know what we (my husband and I) would have done without her. As this was my first child, i didn't know what to expect in labor, and she made me feel calm and prepared from our first meeting, through every contraction, all the way to birth. I had a scheduled induction that turned into a 43 hour labor. Ravae made every contraction manageable with her breathing guidance, verbal coaching, and pressure points. She was my source of truth, ready to explain what was happening and weigh options as we approached them (ie. when to get epidural). I'm someone who needs all the info, and she was there with it. She helped us advocate for ourselves in the hospital, and stepped in where needed. The entire nursing staff loved her and said they wished all doula's were as effective as her. My labor stalled at about hour 38, and Ravae knew exactly what to say to help me reframe my own mental approach/blockers, and with her coaching in that moment, I was able to address my fears and all of a sudden my labor sped up and it was game time. Beyond the big labor milestones, Ravae is not only a delight to be with but also inspirational in all she has done and continues to do in her field. There were plenty of hours where the three of us were waiting around the hospital room, and the time flew based on how much we enjoyed spending time with her. She felt like family by the end. We hope Ravae will be part of all future births as we look to expand our family :)
