From my very first conversation with Rachel, I felt completely at ease. She has such a warm and calming presence, and I knew straight away I wanted her as part of my birth team. We’d already done a hypnobirthing course before having our first baby, so this time Rachel helped refresh our knowledge while also taking the time to talk through our worries and concerns this time around.

Our son arrived at 41+3, and Rachel was incredibly reassuring during those extra days of waiting. She supported me through some difficult conversations and uncertainties, helping me stay calm and relaxed as my due date passed.

During our home birth, Rachel’s support was invaluable. She created a safe, reassuring atmosphere and helped us both feel calm and confident throughout. She was also amazing in all the practical ways post birth too – helping pack away the birth pool, sorting laundry, and making sure I could shower and rest without having to think about anything else.

We’ll always be incredibly grateful for the part she played in welcoming our son into the world and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula.
