Rose Doula

From the dad’s perspective, Rosy prepared me for the birth of our daughter better than any book or class. After working with Rosy, I knew what to expect from the birthing process and how to be a helping hand for my wife. I wanted practical knowledge about how to ensure a safe birth that avoided intervention unless absolutely necessary. Rosy showed me how to write our birth plan, how prepare for delivery day, how to time contractions, how support my wife’s breathing, and how to massage her through early labor. Rosy was a great resource as we welcomed our baby into the world. She even arranged for an acupuncturist to come to our house during early labor to move things along. I can’t recommend Rosy highly enough. She’ll be your partner, advocate, coach and cheerleader.

Rosy was my doula and helped me have an amazing labor experience when I gave birth to my baby girl in January, 2015. It took my a while to find the right doula as I wanted to find someone who connected with me and made me feel comfortable. The minute I met Rosy I knew she was the one!
She’s absolutely great! The type of person you want to have around when you’re having painful an strong contractions as she has a very calm, soothing voice, sweet personality while at the same time being a firm advocate at the hospital for the birth experience you want to have.
My husband and I are incredibly grateful and would recommend every expecting mother to partner up with Rosy. She was always on time, replied to all my emails, all my calls, provided excellent resources, checked on me frequently and was 100% with me throughout labor. It would have been a lot harder to make it without her. After many hours of labor I was able to give birth vaginally to my beautiful baby girl, Paloma.
She’s also an excellent prenatal yoga teacher so she can recommend exercises to prepare your body for birth and stay healthy throughout your pregnancy, or take her classes, which I did :)
She had great connections in the community and referred me to a great chiropractor and acupuncturist who both helped me a lot at the end of my pregnancy. Thank you Rosy!

Rosy was a fantastic doula. They say that births with a doula present are less likely to encounter interventions. I believe this to be true after birthing with Rosy present. I would not have been able to do it without her! Rosy helped me every step of the way– she came right when I called her, she timed my contractions, contacted my midwives when it was time for them to come, never hesitated, was always present, calm, composed and quick to respond when I needed help. Rosy helped me drink, eat, provided aromatherapy, administered herbs, controlled my TENS machine, massaged me, help me move about… She basically was the greatest support I could have ever asked for and she did everything without me having to ask. She intuitively knew what I needed and when. I truly believe our home birth went so successfully because Rosy were there.
Rosy is a clear communicator and has a wonderful and calm demeanor. When I was scared Rosy was there to comfort me. She cheered me on and told me I was doing an amazing job when I was feeling discouraged, and when my daughter was finally born, after a FULL day of labor I was so touched by Rosy’s dedication & resolve and so grateful that I had her support. I highly recommend Rosy as a doula, a friend and a great advocate during labor and birth. Thank you, Rosy, for all that you did for us, from the bottom of our hearts! We look forward to working with you in the future for postpartum doula services and writing you another stellar review for that!

Rosy was our doula for the recent delivery of our first child. My husband and I immediately responded to Rosy’s warmth and soothing presence during our interview and knew that we wanted to work with her. Getting to know her during our pre-​delivery visits was great and she offered so many wonderful tips and ideas on how to prepare and what to do during labor, which was very helpful not only to me but also to my husband so he could mentally get into the «birth zone».
Come labor day Rosy was fantastic, through contractions all the way up until coaching with pushing and lots of massage along the way. We really couldn’t have done with without her!
Would love to work with Rosy again and would absolutely recommend her to anyone considering a doula. Her passion for the entire birth process is evident and she is really just a joy and an overall lovely person.

Rosy was the most knowledgeable, kind and caring support we could get at our daughter’s (extremely) long labor (36 hours!). We wanted to try a natural birth, and Rosy was very professional coaching us to prepare for the birth. After all, I ended up having an epidural, and even though it wasn’t in our plan, when we decided to go for it Rosy was again really reassuring. We were very blessed to have her during those amazing/​tough couple of days, and we couldn’t be more grateful to her. I strongly recommend Rosy as a doula to anyone in need of expert information, coaching and sympathetic support for the labor of their child.
