As first time parents we weren’t sure what to expect in working with a doula. When we met Rebecca we felt instantly comfortable, and sensed right away that she was someone we could feel supported by throughout a process that, at the time, we couldn’t actually imagine. She was warm and generous and clear; we consistently felt so attuned to.
I’ve never had the experience of meeting someone and then so quickly they are literally holding me through the most physically and psychologically demanding transition of my life. And if there is one word that describes the experience with Rebecca it is holding.
She was unwaveringly present throughout a very long labor, even staying several hours after the birth while I was in an unexpected procedure. When complications arose before the birth she was candid and clear, explaining and supporting all my options. She centered our needs and desires while gently offering her own guidance.
Because of all this, we feel Rebecca is intrinsic to not only our child’s entrance into the world, but also our transformation into parents. We cannot overstate how grateful we are that she saw us through.
