Supported Serenity - Planning for childbirth

“As a FTM with a pregnancy full of unexpected challenges, I could not be happier with Rebekkah’s doula services. Originally I wanted to have an unmedicated hospital delivery and knew my husband and I would need support. When we met with Rebekkah, we knew right away she was the right choice for us. After I had a negative experience at my OB office at the start of my third trimester, Rebekkah helped me find an amazing midwife group which greatly reduced my stress of trying to find a new provider so late in the game. She provided materials for me when I received my gestational diabetes diagnosis and all sorts of advice for flipping my baby when I found out he was transverse/breech. Finally, she showed up in the final hours for an ECV procedure just in case something went wrong and it turned into my baby’s birth day, and Lo and behold, it did. While I was being prepped for my emergency c section, Rebekkah prayed with my husband, who was in shock over the suddenness of everything, and she came and helped me with my first breastfeeding experience and reminded me to breathe during my first fundal massage in recovery.  I highly recommend her services to any expecting or post partum mama.”

“As first time parents, my husband and I were admittedly clueless about what to expect and wanted to hire a Doula for guidance and direction. As an African American woman, I was very concerned about being as knowledgeable, informed and heard as possible. Rebekkah was fantastic with informing us about all things pregnancy, from what to expect, to tips on what to do in different scenarios. She was only a phone call or text away if we ever needed anything. She was extremely personable, almost like having a great friend along for the ride! My husband and I felt very comfortable with her. During L&D, she was extremely helpful and hands on and made the entire experience exactly how I wanted it to be-calm, informative and most importantly, I felt supported and heard. She even sat with us and went through hundreds of baby names in the hospital to help us finally pick one. Hiring Rebekkah was one of the best decisions we made in our pregnancy journey.

We also added on L&D photography services offered by Rebekkah-HIGHLY recommended. Our photographs were beautiful and we now have images of one of the best days of our lives to cherish forever! ”

“When I first learned about what a doula does, I read “a good doula is worth her weight in gold” my boyfriend and I were curious, but weren’t convinced. We decided to meet with Rebekkah anyway. We are both so glad we did. This was my first pregnancy and I wanted it to be as natural and unmedicated as possible. Looking back I honestly don’t think it would have been possible without Rebekkah there, during my pregnancy and especially during labor and delivery. I want to express my gratitude and appreciation for all the knowledge, care, and support we received from Rebekkah. It is thanks to her that I can call my labor and delivery a positive experience. Even when I was ready to give up and questioned my strength and willpower, Rebekkah was there to help me get through every contraction and every push. She was correcting my breathing, suggesting different positions we could try, reminding me of my affirmations, and using other techniques to help me continue. When I was about to lose it, she and my boyfriend kept it together for me, and I will be forever grateful. Also, he can’t say enough good things about her, but he’ll be writing his own review. I believe that every pregnant person should have a doula by their side, and I hope that every one could be so lucky to have one as amazing as Rebekkah. If you are reading this and are still skeptical, just as I was, trust me when I say- Rebekkah is one of those doulas who’s worth her weight in gold.”
