“Rachel was the most supportive and empowering birth guide we could have asked for. I knew immediately we wanted her at our birth. Her medical training and openness to alternative modalities were exactly what we needed to navigate the maternity care system and to feel confident in the choices we made. This was our first baby.

I couldn’t recommend her enough.” Colette G.
