If you’re looking for an extremely knowledgeable, evidence based birth doula to assist you through your pregnancy and birth journey, then you can stop right here. Rachel was invaluable to my birthing experience. My goal was an unmedicated natural delivery, and throughout the process of preparing for birth, Rachel’s positivity, openness, and honesty gave my husband and I the confidence we needed to advocate for ourselves and achieve the goal of the type of birth that we wanted. She was always available to answer questions through text or email (every time having evidence based links/papers to back up her answers). Rachel is also very well connected within the birth world of Houston so she’s an incredible resources for other pregnancy/baby related things. Lastly, we are so grateful for Rachel’s attention to detail. After my birth, we had multiple pediatricians, lactation consultants, and nurses come see our daughter for regular check ups, but NOT ONE of them mentioned my daughter’s tongue tie. Rachel pointed out her tongue tie within 30 minutes after her birth, which really affected my baby’s ability to properly breastfeed. If Rachel had not identified her tongue tie so early on, I don’t think I would still be successfully nursing my daughter 6 months later.
