Hello!
Welcome to Guided by Rachel.
My goal is to empower families during one of the most important transitions in their lives by providing compassionate support and evidence-based care. I strive to create a nurturing environment where families can find comfort, guidance, and confidence as their family grows. Rooted in presence and partnership, I meet families wherever they're at so we can focus on building a strong foundation, together.
About Me
Hi, I’m Rachel - a certified Postpartum & Birth Doula (CBI) currently serving clients across Connecticut and Southern MA.
Rooted in a lifelong background in healthcare, empathy and compassion have shaped who I am for as long as I can remember. I’ve always been the one people turn to: the steady listener, the voice of reason, and the person who shows up without judgment during life’s most vulnerable moments.
​
Becoming a Doula felt like coming home. It allowed me to bring together my healthcare experience and my natural calling to support families with presence, compassion, and steadiness. Described as a calm, soothing energy and a "baby whisperer" by clients, I offer a warm and comforting presence that the whole family can lean on.
​
I’m honored to support clients as they navigate pregnancy, birth, and life with a new baby. My role is to be your steady presence and a source of reassurance, evidence-based guidance, emotional support, and calm in moments of uncertainty.
​
If you’re looking for someone who will meet you exactly where you are and support you through every step of your journey, I would love to walk alongside you.
