Rachel Nelson Birth & Postpartum Doula in Chandler, AZ

Having worked with Rachel multiple times as a colleague, I can genuinely say that she is one of the calmest, kindest souls I've met. She is so bubbly and truly excited for every single one of her clients and meets them as friends from day one. She sees herself as the big sister to every mama, and treats the partners with such love and encourages participation. Seeing her with those that have struggled with infertility and welcoming their rainbow always makes me tear up. She truly cares for those she takes on. Her goal is making sure that she never replaces the father and creates a team with all involved. Anyone would be fortunate to have Rachel on their team.

Rachel was made for this! She's gentle and intuitive, leaning on years of research, personal experience (giving birth to 4 children of her own), and assisting in countless births. She was hands on when I needed her before my husband could get to the hospital and once my husband arrived and jumped in she stepped back, allowing us to find our rhythm together. Her presence was a true blessing. ❤️

My experience with The Birth Ally was nothing short of amazing! Throughout my pregnancy I received ample support and guidance from Rachel which included labor preparation, practice and birth planning. Furthermore, when I had questions and concerns Rachel made herself available and never made me feel like I was a burden. She graciously provided a listening ear, which at times is all a new mom needs! Although my labor came two weeks early Rachel arrived with no delay, and coached me through the long hours and insured my needs were heard. She also supported my partner, which made for an empowered birthing team. After my delivery Rachel gave me one on one attention by assisting my newborn and I with skin-to-skin bonding and latching techniques. She worked with the hospital staff to secure my placenta, which she encapsulated and provided to me a few days later. Through her services, Rachel made certain that I would have a great start to motherhood. We are eternally grateful for her knowledge and support!
