"I am beyond happy and grateful for Bellwether Doulas! Rachelle and Hailey are truly amazing. Their passion and compassion is contagious. During our first meeting with Rachelle, my husband and I knew that we found the perfect match for our birthing journey. From the meetups, birthing classes, check-ins, and ongoing support from the moment we met to postpartum, we are so blessed to have met these wonderful doulas. During our C-section, Rachelle was so supportive to me and my husband and advocated for us when needed -- from surgery prep to post delivery. Hailey came to our home postpartum, and was supportive when I struggled with breastfeeding. Their support was and is beyond words. Not only do they have knowledge and expertise, they respected our decisions and we had a truly authentic collaborative relationship. They also have tons of recommendations within the RI community for EVERYTHING! I have referred numerous people to them over the past few months and will continue to do so. I truly can't say enough about how amazing Bellwether Doulas are!"

"Rachelle and Hailey are incredible. The meetups before birth are super helpful and informative. Also took the evidence-based birth class with Rachelle which gave us so much more confidence going into the birth.
I had a complicated birth and both of them were so supportive throughout, advocating for both myself and my husband. Rachelle stayed long after my daughter was born to support my husband as I had to be in another area of the hospital.
We are both so grateful for all of their support throughout pregnancy, birth and postpartum!"

They’re an amazing group of women. The monthly meetings offered were great to be surrounded by mindful doulas and other pregnant women. My labor and delivery was especially difficult with my husband being away and some complications. Rachelle and Hailey were amazing and advocated for me. They were able to ground me when I felt overwhelmed. I’m so glad I found this tribe of doulas.
