"I made a connection with Rachel the second we met. She is very personable and passionate about what she does. We decided to go with her prenatal coaching and my husband quickly warmed up to her. He would actually get excited for our next meetings! She did an excellent job preparing us for our birth and my husband impressed the doctors and nurses as he coached me through our natural birth. She even checked in on us after our baby was born to see how we were doing. Its been almost two years since we had our baby and Rachel has become a dear friend to us. I have no doubt that she has been put on this earth to be a doula, she is best at what she does and you will notice it the second you meet her. No matter how your birth experience may turn out, her moral support and friendship is priceless." - Coaching Client
