Testimonials

Rachel was there from beginning to end and answered any questions. If she didn't know the answer she would find out. I recommend Rachel, she is extremely patient and helpful.

Rachel was beyond amazing as a doula. She made me comfortable and supported me through birth with kindness and unbelievable massages.

Rachel was attentive, very sensitive and supportive, and patiently and competently assisted me through an unmedicated birth where she and my partner were the sole sources of help for the majority of my labor.

As a doula, support person, and a dear friend, we cannot recommend Rachel enough; she was incredibly caring, thoughtful and listened to our needs every step of the way.

Brittany was a wonderful presence during our birth experience. It was my third birth which I've heard described as the "wild card" birth so wasn't sure what to expect going in, but hoped for another unmedicated delivery.

I highly recommend Rachel, she is a very kind and nurturing spirit by nature. She is very reassuring and a prime example of everything I expected my doula to be! Rachel helped make the birth of my first child one I would never forget!

Rachel is an exceptional Human being, between her caring spirit, her instinct to nurture wholeheartedly and her passion as a doula is what made my experience with her one that I will always truly admire. I consider Rachel a part of my small family, I could go on and on about my birthing experience with Rachel but there is nothing like first hand experience ! I highly recommend her.

Working with Rachel was an absolute joy! Her in depth knowledge about labor and delivery left us feeling empowered, informed, and at ease. Her genuine enthusiasm about the birthing process was contagious.. Rachel also sent along an extensive list of resources and answers to additional questions that we had.

Rachel made my birth experience so much better! She was a major game changer and she far beyond exceeded the expectations that I had when I hired a doula to be a part of my birthing experience.

It was amazing to have Jessica's support as she seamlessly joined my husband and me at 3:00am to help bring our daughter into the world, which didn't happen until 9:00pm that evening!

When Alberta Robinson discovered she had breast cancer, she turned to the experts at Rose Medical Center for help.

Thanks to Dr. Payne and a robot-assisted gynecologic procedure, Dea is on the path to a healthier future.

"Jessica was incredibly communicative and helpful to connect with as we prepared for our son to be born."

We feel so fortunate and are so grateful to have had Heidi Roark as our doula.

I really wanted to have a non-medicated labor and was just about ready to give up when she walked in the door. I was at my breaking point and truly believed I could not go on, and then she walked in and I immediately felt strength to continue.

We would never have achieved natural childbirth without your help and are forever grateful.
