Postpartum Doula
“Rachel is calm and reassuring when things can be stressful. She always offers guidance and tips when newborns enter new phases. She is able to handle stressful times of transition with ease and confidence. She always helped me find ways to overcome my postpartum anxiety. She has a happy and positive attitude. Rachel had great guidelines on nipple latching for my newborn and helped me figure out a proper feeding schedule week to week. Also, she provided strategies on lessening engorgement with cabbage leaves, which helped tremendously. My newborn was very gassy, and Rachel offered tips on proper massages. She helped to lift me up emotionally when I was feeling run down. She was available to me when I needed her with a positive and professional attitude.”
Birth Doula
I am delighted to recommend Rachel Adams as a birth doula. I had the pleasure of getting to know Rachel shortly after she had completed a DONA birth doula training where I assisted with some of the training. She was highly motivated to gain experience and I agreed to have her shadow me and to be available as a mentor. At that birth Rachel needed little instructions from me. She had obviously learned much from the training, had completed the readings and had attended another birth. She got right in there supporting the mom as if she had been assisting at births for many years. She asked appropriate questions, had great rapport with the clients, and was respectful and helpful with the staff. Several newly trained doulas have shadowed me over the twenty years I have been a doula but Rachel was truly exceptional. I have no doubt that she will make an excellent birth doula. I think anyone who she decides to work with will be very fortunate to have her service.

Rachel has been with our family since our second son was born. During the early period, she helped take care of the baby to allow me time with our toddler, and vice versa. She has continued to assist with helping me figure out how to juggle the needs of both kiddos while also focusing on self-care. Rachel is extremely caring, trustworthy, helpful, responsible, reliable, experienced, and has the most friendly personality! She did not shy away from the numerous challenges presented by both an infant and a toddler, and streamlining daily routines. We are very fortunate to have her assistance, we absolutely recommend Rachel, and cannot thank her enough!

We have used Rachel as a babysitter for the past three years on a regular basis and I cannot sing her praises enough. She is incredibly dependable, she has never canceled or been late. Rachel has cared for both our children as newborns and has the skills to do so with confidence. Our children love playing with Rachel as she is so engaging. We always come home to a clean house, she goes above and beyond. We highly recommend her!!
