Testimonial for Rachelle Samia
I can't say enough good things about Rachelle. We decided to choose her because she had a similar story to mine where I desperately wanted to have an unmedicated birth but due to medical complications in the pregnancy, a medicated hospital birth was the only way. Not only did she commiserate, she encouraged me eventually I had full confidence that the hospital was the best way to bring my child into the world.
She was thorough and extremely knowledgeable in labor, birth, and postpartum education, but was engaging and fun throughout the informative sessions.
She had an arsenal of devices and such for pain management, hypnobirthing, Christian hypnobirthing, distractions, etc. and I used quite a few. I can confirm they are very effective and useful!
Additionally, she took photos in the moment during the birth and the moments after. Some of these photos were so raw, emotional, and beautiful. I had forgotten that was part of the deal, but it was such a lovely surprise to have those moments encapsulated forever.
I think the best thing about Rachelle is her ability to be so casual and personal. From zoom call number one to our post partum check in, she's been incredibly friendly and kind and so very easy to talk to about anything. She's very organized and punctual. Responds quickly even in the midst of family emergencies. Is there as soon as needed even though she lives at least an hour away from us. And genuinely cares for the couples she works with. I truly feel I not only scored an incredible doula, I also scored a great new friend.
