Testimonial for Rachael Ibarra, BCD
I highly recommend Rachel for any of your doula needs, pre/post birth and labor. My pregnancy was a bit different and more complicated as I was a gestational carrier (I carried a baby for an amazing couple, their embryo) so Rachel had an extra person to worry about during labor. She expertly cared for me as the birthing person, my husband and the mother of the child. She stuck with me and supported us all through a long labor and even assisted the midwife with different positions to get baby into birth canal. After 36 hours I made the decision for a C-section (Rachel helped me be at peace with this medically necessary decision through follow up visits) but Rachel was able to make sure that all three of us were comforted during the surgery. Without Rachel the mother of the baby told me she would have been to the level of a panic attack, but Rachel was able to calm and support her through this unexpected and scary time. Rachel also supported me post partum. Even without a newborn, this support was much needed after surgery as my husband had to go back to work. She not only helped with physical work, but again her company and calm spirit helped me process and heal mentally and emotionally as well.
