Helen S
Birth Doula
Rachel was our birth doula and we also did a private antenatal course with her. She provided invaluable support and guidance during pregnancy and was always available to talk when we needed reassurance. We felt far more empowered to make informed decisions leading up to the birth thanks to her and ended up changing hospitals and planning for a home birth. Rachel is incredibly kind, calm and knowledgable and we’re forever grateful she was with us at the birth of our baby. We truly couldn’t imagine going through it without her. While we had another doula postnatally as Rachel was on holiday, she checked in on us and continued to be available to answer questions after the birth. We’ve already recommended her to friends!

Birth Doula
Rachel was a game changer for us in the birth of our first baby. As our Doula, Rachel not only helped us prepare for birth practically (from improving our knowledge around birth and our choices through to emotional support), she was an integral support for both myself and my husband for the birth itself. Rachel went above and beyond in taking care of us and helping us on our journey, and we will be forever grateful!

Antenatal Classes
I reached out to Rachel before the birth of my second baby. I was aiming for a VBAC following a traumatic c section and postnatal period first time. Rachel supported me and my husband through sessions at home, building on the research we had already done. This affirmed our views and what we wanted out of this birth. She is calm, kind, listens and doesn’t judge. The sessions really empowered me and helped us during birth to ask questions and make decisions which ultimately led to a VBAC. Forever grateful for Rachel’s support and positive text messages when needed x

Breastfeeding Support, Postnatal Doula
Rachel was the biggest help to us at probably our most anxious time post partum. We had some amazing professionals look after us through giving birth to our first son – from midwives at the hospital & in the community, to health visitors, to lactation consultants etc – Rachel’s warmth, expertise, support and practical advice in terms of breastfeeding sticks out miles above the rest. She has the ability to put you at ease pretty much instantly (and even better – same with my baby who I didn’t think knew how to fall asleep in someone’s arms, but could manage with Rachel!) She also lets you see the small wins as big celebrations through the immediate anxiety, as well as providing extra education and tips in a way that she makes sure aligns with what you’re trying to achieve. I’d recommend her to anyone to get a bit more sanity and support during the post partum haze, it was one of our best decisions to get in touch with her and I am 100% sure we, as a new little family, are in a better place than we would have been because of her. I can’t overstate the value of her kind nature & the reassurance her experience brings. Thank you Rachel

Breastfeeding Support, Postnatal Doula
We cannot recommend Rachel highly enough! She made such a huge impact on our experience as new parents. Rachel’s expertise was invaluable as we navigated newborn life, and my positive breastfeeding journey was hugely thanks to her!
She has such a kind, gentle manner which made us feel immediately comfortable with her around. She was excellent with our daughter and I trusted her entirely with her. As well as all her incredible practical postnatal assistance, she was a huge support to me emotionally during the postpartum weeks. Her genuine compassion and empathy made her very easy to talk to and I will miss our chats! We can’t thank Rachel enough for making our newborn journey such a positive one!

Birth Doula
Rachel was an incredibly calm and reassuring support to me during the birth of my first child. She has a wealth of knowledge that helped me prepare for the big day and knowing she was there gave me the space to fully focus on my body and baby. Rachel’s maternal presence made me feel safe and looked after during and after the birth. I am so grateful our paths crossed!

Birth Doula
Rachel was an incredible birth doula and I can’t recommend working with her enough. At the outset of my pregnancy I was scared of birth and felt like it was an experience that just had to be endured. I never thought I’d say this, but we ended up having a beautiful birth experience and I feel so empowered by it. That was in no small part down to the confidence Rachel encouraged in us, her beautiful ability to listen and make me feel validated and seen, and the safe, calm, reassuring energy she brought on the night. In the run up to birth we had antenatal calls and meet ups, as well as chatting over WhatsApp. Those conversations were clarifying and helped me gain a great deal of confidence. I often felt lighter and happier after we spoke. I also felt better equipped to advocate for myself and the birth I wanted, which was an incredible and empowering gift. Through those conversations we built a relationship that meant when Rachel arrived for the birth I felt happy and relieved to have her there, and ready to crack on with it. My husband felt the same and was very grateful for her support and the sense of security she brought. All of which speaks volumes to what she became for us (and the faith in myself and my body that she encouraged in me). If you are considering working with Rachel, I can’t encourage you enough. She made all the difference to our birth experience. Thank you, Rachel. We’ll be forever grateful for your help.

Birth Doula, Postnatal Doula
Rachel supported us around the birth of our first son, and although she wasn’t able to attend the birth itself due to an unexpected early Christmas Day arrival, her care and presence before and after made a world of difference. From our first meetings, she was warm, intuitive, and incredibly knowledgeable. She listened deeply – not just to what we said, but also to what we didn’t. There were moments when I felt low or tired, and she would sense it and gently offer exactly what I needed, sometimes before I even realised it myself. Even though she couldn’t be at the birth due to timing (our baby had other plans!), the preparation we did with her beforehand helped us feel informed, calm, and empowered to navigate the experience on our own as best as possible. Afterwards, she visited us more than originally planned, holding the baby so I could rest, talking through how we were adjusting, and even preparing the most delicious breastfeeding snacks, which I still make to this day. She’s incredibly kind, calm, and generous with her time and wisdom. It’s such a shame she wasn’t there at the birth itself – we know she would have been brilliant and made a huge difference – but everything else she brought to our journey more than made up for it. I wholeheartedly recommend working with Rachel to any new parent.

Placenta Remedies
Rachel is amazing, the service and kindness she delivers is second to none. I always knew I wanted to encapsulate my placenta, and was just so pleased to find someone who could help me. 7 weeks into taking my tablets, and I feel good and strong in myself and my milk supply has been incredible too- I do believe it’s down to taking these. Thank you Rachel for being amazing, and I look forward to working with you again! Jess x
