Testimonials

My experience with Rachel was nothing short of amazing! Throughout my pregnancy I received ample support and guidance from Rachel which included labor preparation, practice and birth planning. Furthermore, when I had questions and concerns Rachel made herself available and never made me feel like I was a burden. She graciously provided a listening ear, which at times is all a new mom needs!
My labor came two weeks early which was certainly unexpected as this was my first pregnancy. Once I was admitted to Highline Hospital it only took a quick call to Rachel, and she was understanding and prepared to be by my side. She arrived timely, and coached me through my labor and vaginal birth.  Although a first-time mother, with back labor and an epidural that did not fully take, I felt motivated, confident, and secure as Rachel coached me through the long hours and ensured my needs were heard. My husband also felt supported and included throughout the entire process, which made for a great birthing team.
Being prepared for the fourth trimester is easily overlooked by many moms, but Rachel ensured through her services that I would have the best start possible.  After my delivery Rachel gave me one on one attention by assisting my newborn and I with skin-to-skin bonding and latching techniques. She worked with the hospital staff to secure my placenta, which she encapsulated and provided to me a few days later. Additionally, she created a postnatal recovery kit for me which helped so much, and a placenta print keepsake which I will forever treasure. Eternally grateful for her knowledge and support!
