Testimonial for Rachel Brown CD(DONA)
There are not enough words to express the gratitude that I have for the fact that I met Rachel and she was the doula who worked with me throughout my pregnancy and the birth of my son. I was drawn to her for several reasons like her breadth of knowledge, years of experience in childbirth as a healthcare professional and a doula, and understanding of multilingual couples. Beyond that, she felt like a sister from the first time I met her.
Rachel exudes warmth, compassion, and trustworthiness, which enabled me to be completely vulnerable with her in this important moment of my life. She made me feel confident in my natural abilities, guided my husband and I with practical advice, and was there to help us talk through every decision in the birthing process. Because of her guidance, I had an amazing and empowering birthing experience. This experience completely changed my fearful perspective of childbirth into one where I saw the beauty in the process. Also, she photographed and took videos the whole time so I get to relive those moments forever.
Rachel went above and beyond at all times, but her kindness during my postpartum phase is truly one of the most humbling experiences I have had in my life. Days after my birth, I had some complications that required me to take a medicine that didn't let me nurse my son for 48 hours. I called Rachel, not knowing what to do, and by my son's next feeding, she was at my house with 48 hours of breastmilk for my son. She used her network of breastfeeding mothers and her own supply to make sure that my son was taken care of when I really needed help.
For so many reasons, I highly recommend Rachel as a doula. I feel so lucky to have gone through my birthing experience with her by my side.
