Hello!
I'm so glad you found your way here. My name is Rachel - I'm a birth & postpartum doula and Pilates instructor in Connecticut.
Caring for others has always felt second nature to me. I’m often the one people turn to when they need a steady presence, a thoughtful listener, or someone who can help make sense of an overwhelming moment. Becoming a doula gave that instinct a deeper purpose: the opportunity to support others through one of life's biggest transitions with the patience, compassion, and care they deserve.
My approach is rooted in helping you feel connected to your body, informed in your choices, and confident in your ability to navigate what's ahead. I'm here to help you prepare for what's ahead, understand your options, and feel confident making decisions that are right for you.
As a Pilates instructor, I'm especially passionate about supporting the strong and changing body throughout pregnancy and postpartum. I'm currently continuing my education with specialized prenatal and postpartum Pilates training, deepening my understanding of movement, core and pelvic health, recovery, and the physical mobility transitions that accompany this season of life.
I believe you shouldn't have to navigate pregnancy, birth, or postpartum feeling like you have to figure everything out on your own. My role is to anticipate your needs, offer thoughtful guidance, and create space for you to make informed decisions that feel true to you and your family.
I would be honored to walk alongside you.
See what my clients have said about me!
