Who am I?
In case you haven't figured it out, my name is Rachel! I'm a 30-something mama to two crazy kiddos (with one on the way) and one dog. I'm originally from Delaware, but have called North Carolina home since attending Elon University, and my high school sweetheart husband and I have called Charlotte "home" since 2013.
I have been immersed in the pregnancy, birth, and postpartum world since 2017 and had two amazing doula-attended births of my own. I decided to take the plunge into doula work in 2021. I am a CAPPA-certified labor doula and childbirth educator
I've seen firsthand what it's like to have long and difficult labors, challenging physical and/or emotional recoveries in the postpartum period, and just about every breastfeeding struggle in the book. It is my hope that the skills I've learned in finding good help and working to identify solutions that aid both Mama AND Baby in equal measure can help other families.
If I'm not chasing after my children or cleaning up the messes they make, you can find me traveling, reading, DIYing, cross-stitching, or watching really bad or really good TV (there is no in between in my life). My family and I are based in south Charlotte, and I serve hospitals in central Charlotte, Matthews, Pineville and Indian Trail, as well as home births. I hope we will have the opportunity to meet soon!
Please note that I will be on maternity leave and unavailable for doula support from July 1 until January 2025! I am available for childbirth education and registry consulting through September 1, 2024!
