Testimonial for Rachel Mueller CD(DONA), CLC, (M.A.P.), CPM, LM
After researching my various options regarding birth, my husband and I decided to hire a doula to support myself during labor as well as my husband. Rachel was very organized and very well prepared and this was obvious from our first interview where we were given a folder of literature regarding birth and doula services. We met twice before the labor and had to opportunity to try out various things that could help ease labor pain and anxiety, including massage implements, aromatherapy oils, and various labor balls. Rachel then took note of what I liked the best and brought these to the hospital. I was 9 days late and my midwife decided I should be induced a day earlier than scheduled. Rachel was at a birth when we called to say we were headed to the hospital, but luckily it was a quick birth and she headed to meet us as soon as she could. Rachel provided good support during labor, suggesting different posititions and techniques to help with pain and help my labor progress. When the decision was made that I needed to have a C section due to my baby's low heart rate during contractions, she was very supportive and was able to explain what was happening to my parents as they arrived in the midst of my epidural placement. We had a great experience with Rachel and are very appreciative of all her help and expertise!
