Rachel is very knowledgeable about breastfeeding and provided such compassionate support throughout my pregnancy. Even virtually, she made me feel heard, encouraged, and more confident about preparing for my cesarean birth. She took the time to answer my questions, share helpful information, and make sure I felt informed and supported. I truly appreciate her patience, kindness, and dedication. I highly recommend Rooted with Rachel to any expecting mother looking for knowledgeable, personalized, and supportive doula care.
