Testimonial for Stumptown Doulas
So thankful I found Stumptown Doulas when I did. Just in time for my birth.
I had the pleasure of working with Rachel Gathrite and 10/10 recommend Rachel as a doula and all around human!
I wasn’t sure if we were going to have a doula this time around. It was my 3rd natural birth and my husband and I have been a pretty well oiled machine with the previous 2 but this time around we had more difficult curve balls thrown our way. We found and met Rachel the week before I ended up giving birth.
She was absolutely pivotal to our experience. She was a strength to me that I didn’t even know I needed. She held my hand in some of my most difficult moments and gently talked me through what I needed to hear. Her strong faith in God was the most important part to me.
She never made us feel like a burden, even when things took longer than expected. She was grace filled, equipped with ideas and tools to help, and even made sure I was in a good position for pushing which may have been the reason my baby’s shoulders didn’t get stuck like my previous 2 did.
I cannot recommend her enough!
