Throughout our 33 hours of labor, Ranelle was there every minute. She stood by us with massages, breathing techniques; birthing postures; prayer and moral support just to name a few. Her gentle spirit and vast knowledge put us at ease. We will forever be grateful to of had Ranelle present at the birth of our daughter Luxe and will be sure to have her present for the next. - Dallas & Lisa

My experience with Ranelle was so above my expectations when I had my son after 23 1/2 hours of natural labor, where Ranelle never left my side. That I knew when I got pregnant with my daughter just who to call. I always describe Ranelle as being my Angel Voice through labor. No matter what was going on in the room if Ranelle was talking to me nothing or no one mattered. - Stacey

Having Ranelle as our doula was the best thing we could have done for our baby's birth. Her support, reassurance and calming presence made labor and delivery a much easier process for both me and my husband. We highly recommend her! - Michelle

Ranelle was our doula for both of our daughters deliveries, her presence and guidance during the labor and delivery helped us achieve not only natural child birth 2 times, but a very memorable birthing experience from beginning to end!! She was wonderful!! We could not have done it without her!! - Dr. Erik and Susan

"From the Man's viewpoint" Having Ranelle at out birth was priceless. Her knowledge about the entire process was invaluable to me as a first time dad. She had briefed us on some problems that might arise and gave advice on how to handle the possible situations. That advice came into play and I was able to knowledgeably speak about the situation and come to a solution that was best for all involved. Having Ranelle there freed me from the feeling of total responsibility to my wife, as I knew she was in good hands if I left the room. If having a doula is within your means don't go through the process without one. I don't think I could have enjoyed the birth of my son nearly as much if I had to do it without Ranelle. - Gene (& Lisa)

I am a Labor & Delivery nurse and worked with and trusted my midwife and nurses. Even so, I am very aware of changing shifts and the demands of other patients. We wanted a constant reassuring support during labor. Someone who is calm and quiet. It was the best decision my husband and I ever made to have Ranelle with us! Ranelle offered great suggestions and kept me calm and focused. We had a beautiful unmedicated hospital delivery. We also treasure the birth pictures she took. Having a doula was our number one best choice for attaining the natural delivery we wanted - Rebecca

From a business perspective Ranelle is detail oriented, well-organized, and flexible. On a personal level she is encouraging and empathetic. These are all very important traits when interacting with a mom-to-be (and yet they are often missing in current traditional health care). While I was pregnant she calmed my sciatica with wonderful, relaxing massage so I could sleep at night. When my son was breach she encouraged me and lent helpful suggestions to encourage my baby to move his head down (and he did!) In the delivery room she seemed to just know exactly what I needed, yet didn’t encroach on my husband’s involvement. I went from 3 cm to 10 cm in about 10 minutes, but the nurses wouldn’t re-check me because they couldn’t believe it. Ranelle convinced them to do so and Peter was born about 5 minutes later! No complications and no drugs! Thank you Ranelle! - Allyson
