Testimonial for Rebecca Wender
Rebecca played such an important role in my birth that I can't imagine having done it without her. I was on the fence about having a doula because I had convinced myself I could learn everything I needed from a birth class. Little did I know that I'd end up having a 40-hour labor and in the end, I almost had a c-section even though a vaginal birth was important to me. Without Rebecca and my doula's advocacy, I probably would have ended up with the surgery. She stood by my partner and me through all 40 hours and never faltered in her support. It's also an incredible bonus that she's a massage therapist. She spent time leading up to the birth talking carefully through what we wanted for our birth experience and had materials to teach us the birth process. Beyond her diligent preparation for all our meetings, Rebecca is just simply a kind, intuitive, strong woman with a giant heart who works to make the world a better place. If you have a marginalized identity and are worried about finding someone who can be an ally, Rebecca is your person. Having her there so intimately with us during some of the most important moments of our lives makes her feel like family. Looking back, I would have paid half my salary to have had her there. It was that worth it.
