  We had such a wonderful experience with Rebecca. I have a medical background so having a doula that was well versed in evidence based birthing practices was essential. ...
  
  As sometimes happens, our birth plan went in the complete opposite direction as we had expected and having Rebecca guide us through the process kept our (or my) anxiety at ease. She then helped me process my birth experience, something I didn’t really realize that I would need. I also had Rebecca process and encapsulate my placenta which I’d highly recommend! I had no idea there were so many ways that placenta capsules could be beneficial in my postpartum journey. ...

  Rebecca is amazing!! My husband and I decided to hire a doula for the birth of our second child in hopes to have a better experience and that is exactly what happened!! If you are considering hiring a doula you NEED to make an appointment with Rebecca! She is so sweet, very knowledgeable and has great experience. She helped me succeed in having a vbac and was the voice/advocate I needed in the delivery room. Her calm demeanor helped calm my fears and anxiety during the birthing process and allowed me to enjoy giving birth to our daughter. If we have anymore children I will be asking Rebecca to be our doula again! (Also I used yelp to find her and am so thankful to all the others who left reviews for her!)

  My wife and I highly recommend Rebecca. This was our first pregnancy and a friend told us the best thing they ever did was hire a doula, so we took their advice and found Rebecca through Yelp, which really was one of the best decisions we made for the birth of our son.
  
  We chose Rebecca out of all the other doulas because right from the moment we met her, we felt comfortable. For us, that was very important.
  
  ... During delivery, Rebecca kept everyone positive and motivated. She also made sure I was taking care of myself properly! i.e. eating and resting when possible. We don't know how we could have made it through delivery without her support.
  
  ... Overall, Rebecca is smart, kind, supportive and we felt blessed to have her there for the birth of our son.

  We absolutely love Rebecca!! She was the perfect person to have by our side on our important day.
  
  ... Rebecca used visualization and breathing techniques/exercises to help me through a rough patch during the birth. With her help, I was able to push through my mental block and as a result progress to the next stage of the birth.
  
  Rebecca's approach is very well balanced in both philosophy and practicality. Her priority is you and your baby as well as your family. She always went above and beyond what we expected and was a great advocate for what we wanted to do during our pregnancy and birth. Her cool, calm demeanor worked magic on the hospital staff. She is awesome! ...
