"Rachel was a game-changer... She quickly proved herself knowledgeable and trustworthy, which quelled our fears and instilled confidence moving into labor. It was during labor that Rachel’s skill proved to be invaluable. Her calm and reassuring presence made this experience the birth I had always hoped for.There were times when hers was the only voice I could hear.My family and I will be forever grateful to this woman who gave us the birth of our dreams." - Katie P, RN

Night nurse/Overnight Baby Care

The process of birth, and motherhood, has always captivated me. At a young age, I knew that birth was something to be revered and respected. But it wasn’t until my dear friend invited me into her birth space, and I witnessed firsthand her strength, vulnerability and courage, that I started to think that my passion could become my profession. That profound experience propelled me into doula work.

As a professional birth and postpartum doula, I truly believe that all women should feel supported and empowered throughout pregnancy, labor and postpartum. And I understand that this looks different for every woman. By providing professional, personalized and open-minded support, I help create a space where families feel safe and respected and women can trust in their wisdom and their strength. I work with your birth team to foster a calm, loving environment with clear communication to help you navigate your uniquely beautiful birth experience. I have experience with unmedicated and medicated birth, cesarean birth, and stillbirth.

As a parent, I know how exhausting this parenting gig can be, which is why I chose to specialize in overnight baby care, sometimes referred to as a night nurse (a misnomer because most are not acting as nurses while in your home). While you catch up on some much needed, healing sleep, I will snuggle and care for your little one in your home. Overnight baby care works with both breast and bottle feeding. Hire me for one night of blissful sleep or every night until your baby is sleeping peacefully through the night. The bonus? I'm also a sleep consultant, so clients who choose to hire me long term end up with babies who sleep through the night at an earlier age WITHOUT crying. 

Outside of doula work, I love exploring the outdoors with my family, sewing, crafting, hunting for treasures among antique and thrift stores and slowly (so so slowly) remodeling my home. I am eternally thankful to my supportive husband and four amazing children who allow me to be fully present with my clients and manage the home front when I’m away.

It is truly an honor to walk beside you on this journey. I look forward to hearing from you.
