« Return to About Rachel Index What Clients Have To Say Read what clients & students have to say. These are taken from actual letters clients have sent to me… You can see copies of the full letters in my album, just ask! "After 13 hours of no progression, the doctor pulled my husband aside to tell him to prepare for a C-Section. I believe having Rachel there helped make the case for delaying the procedure. After several more hours of pitocin I was able to give birth to my son without a C-Section. I believe Rachel's support of me and my family helped me to have a natural birth...Rachel was great at working with my husband and myself as a team. She knew when to offer advice and when to step back and let my husband and I have time together." - Jody "Rachel served as a labor doula for the birth of our son as well as a postpartum doula. Each time we met I was impressed with her enthusiasm and knowledge about childbirth, infant care, and postpartum care." - Santi "Thank you so much for assisting with the birth of (our baby). You were wonderful! We truly appreciated your support, encouragement and well-informed explanations of every step of labor.
