I knew I wanted a doula for my birth experience as a first time parent with a desire for an unmedicated birth. My husband wasn’t initially sure why we needed one; however, when all was said and done, he agreed it was one of the best choices we made in preparing for our son’s arrival.
When we interviewed Rebekkah, it was clear she would be incredible advocate with her calming presence, matter-of-fact tone, and wealth of knowledge. I can say without a doubt that our birth experience would not have been possible without her coaching. She also photographed our birth - the pictures turned out incredible and will be cherished for years to come.
Additionally, we hired her for postpartum support as we adjusted to life as new parents. We initially looked forward to her nights so we could get some sleep, but the added bonus was seeing the little things she did to care for our son. She has a vast toolkit of tricks as someone who works with many children, and we picked up a lot of good tips that in turn helped us care better for him. She would also share recommendations for other providers depending on what we were wrestling with that week (e.g. lactation, pediatric dentists, bodywork). There’s no manual that comes with a newborn, but I would recommend Rebekkah as a postpartum doula for a highly reliable alternative.
If we had to do it all over again, Rebekkah would be my first call. I can't imagine not having her by our side for pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum.
(I posted this review on Google, but I wanted to post this here too as I initially came across Rebekkah's profile on doulamatch).
