VIA LACTEA BIRTH
client testimonial
I loved having rabsaris as our birth doula, especially the prenatal visits and information she provided. I so appreciated her support through phone calls and texts, especially in the last few weeks of pregnancy. her guidance through labor and delivery was invaluable and helped me get what I wanted (and needed) out of this labor that I didn't get with my first birth. my husband kept mentioning after the birth that he was so thankful for her presence, he felt so supported as well. she is a wonderful person and doula and so great at what she does. 100% recommend!
