Racquel Story

Full Spectrum Doula

About Me

Hi, I'm Racquel! I'm an energetic and empathic birth and postpartum doula, and I've always been a healer and caregiver at heart. This work is truly my calling. Before becoming a doula, I worked in healthcare for 10 years, in both private practice and hospital (pediatrics) settings. While doulas offer non-medical support, my prior experience gives me a unique point of view in helping families navigate what can be a confusing system.

I'm also a certified yoga instructor, and I have a lot of experience working with multiples. I love working with families, and I can't wait to support you and yours!

Practice Philosophy

I'm a very education-first doula. I love giving you the science behind different practices, using an evidence-based approach so you can navigate your journey into parenthood with education and confidence. Drawing on my background in healthcare, I bring a unique point of view to helping you make sense of an often confusing system.

As your doula, I'm here to educate not just you, but your whole support team, because I truly believe it takes a village. When everyone around you is informed and prepared, you're surrounded by the kind of confident, capable support that makes all the difference.

Overall, my goal is to set your family up for success through labor, delivery, postpartum, and into parenthood, so you feel educated, confident, and fully supported every step of the way.
