I’m Racquelle!

As a Birth Doula- I support families throughout pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I'm an extra support person who may help bridge the gap between the medical (OB/nurses, midwives, too) and the physiological experience of birth.

During pregnancy, we will stay connected, I'm there to help navigate conversations with your provider and offer education and information about pregnancy, birth and newborn care.

During labor, I help you remain as comfortable as possible by a multitude of physical comfort techniques, position changes, relaxation techniques and overall comfort. I encourage you and your partner to be in control of your birth and offer advocacy on your behalf. I offer guidance to your partner, and make sure you're both taken care of. Studies have shown that having a doula as a member of the birth team decreases the overall cesarean rate by 50%, the length of labor by 25%, the use of oxytocin by 40%, and requests for an epidural by 60%.
