Change is in the air

There are going to continue to be a fair amount of changes over here as I get all my ducks in a row. I am in the process of getting an official logo designed, redoing my doula contract and fee structure, tossing about the possibility of adding a back up doula later this spring, and opening myself up to all the other things in motion right now. I was recently told about the need for someone to start IVs for the homebirth midwives in the community when they have GBS+ moms and I am really hopeful that I can fulfill that need during the next year (after I pass the RN licensing exam this summer.) Lots of amazing things happening so stay tuned!

And you can find listings on the doula network and on Plus Size Doula Connections!

Finally got a facebook page set up just for my doula stuffs!

More client comments!

I just got these from my clients whose birth I attended this past summer in June. We had only met a couple times since she moved here rather late in her pregnancy but luckily we just clicked pretty quickly. After a baby who didn't want to budge, an induction was scheduled and it didn't take very long before their sweet boy made his appearance.

"Rochelle was my doula in June of 2011. She was an absolute blessing for my labor and delivery! She was very compassionate and highly supportive of what my husband and I wanted. She was very professional and friendly to the nurses and doctors and guided me through my induction. She was very knowledgeable on the medical procedures that I had questions about and explained things to me with kindness and expertise. She made my induction go as smooth as possible and made me feel comfortable with my delivery. I would use her again and definitely recommend her for anyone who is looking to hire a doula!" - Tiffany Rea

And from her incredible husband (who I wish could come to all my births with me!):

"Rochelle was our doula for our first son in 2011. She was very professional and helped my wife through her labor and delivery. She never undermined my opinion as the husband and was very helpful to both of us. She was friendly to all of the hospital staff and made sure my wife got what she needed when she needed it. She did everything from giving my wife massages through contractions to helping her push. It was a great birthing experience and I would recommend Rochelle to anyone who is wanting a doula." - William Rea

In addition to being an incredible mother, she takes beautiful pictures and kindly took some amazing pictures for me and my husband this last fall. This one and this one too!
