Testimonial for Rachel Connolly Kwock, CD(DONA), CLC
We hired a Rachel as a doula for the birth of our first child. I was expecting to have someone be there during the birth and that I would be in labor for many hours and that would really be my main interaction with Rachel and that's it. The experience ended up being quite different! I ended up having a very short, fast active labor and even though Rachel was there for just a short time, I felt very supported and that she was able to assist my husband in motivating me to deliver without an epidural and feel very empowered and proud! Rachel also referred me to my fantastic midwife, who made the birth of my son even more empowering and memorable, an experience that I don't think I would have had with the OB I was seeing beforehand.
What really surprised me and impressed me about Rachel's services were her support during pregnancy and postpartum. She served as a sounding board and guide for me. She is very well connected and had so many resources to support birth readiness, handling complications, my mental health, my holistic health, and resources for my difficult breastfeeding journey. Rachel gave this information both verbally in presentations and lended me plenty of educational and easy to read books. She was always a kind, patient, and nonjudgemental listening ear which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend her doula services for the great value they provide and I would use her as a birth or postpartum doula in the future for sure!
