Reyan C. | Doula in Olympia, WA

Doula Rey

    Practice overview

    I am deeply passionate about helping new parents set up and prepare for this new stage of life. Finding a birth and postpartum plan, learning coping methods, providing resources to set you up for success, and labor coaching are all just the basics of my care. I want to build a relationship with you and learn how I can be exactly what you need in every way. I have helped families fold and sort clothes, set up carseats, provide sibling doula care, be lactation support, capture photos, answer the call for every concern and so much more. I don’t want to just be a hire, I want to be your friend. Let’s make a connection to see how I can make this transition as seamless as possible.

      My birth didn’t go in the direction I planned at all. I was setup to deliver my baby at a local birth house with trusted midwives I’ve built a relationship with throughout my pregnancy. I always know to expect the unexpected, especially with birth, but that didn’t change the fact that I NEEDED Rey. She was there to support me during my 70+ hours after my water broke until we welcomed our son into the world and into postpartum. Not to mention the resources and support she provided me by text (Whenever I had a question come up or was looking for some advice.) and in person meetings during my pregnancy. She held my hand when I was scared and in pain, was there to reassure me every step of the way, and even played my favorite song when the time came for baby to finally greet us. She also took amazing photos to document our labor and delivery journey. Even during the tough moments for me because I wanted to see it all. The raw beauty and pain I experienced. I’m so thankful I have those special and powerful moments. She would have respected my wishes either way in regards to the photos I wanted along with every decision I made along the way. She has such a warm energy and a passion for birth work. I wasn’t sure a doula would be worth the money when I was researching birth years ago and planning my future pregnancy, if that was in the cards for my husband and I, but looking back I would 1,000% hire a doula every time in the future, & I sincerely hope Rey can be there for me again.

      Reyan has been a wonderful doula. She has provided me with the tools
      that I needed to learn and make informed decisions for my birth plan. With her support I feel more confident in my pregnancy journey, the birth itself, and the postpartum stage. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing, down to earth doula who can support you on a vast spectrum of birth plans!

      Rey and I did our doula training together. I cannot speak highly enough of her intellect, her calming and warm demeanor and the empathy she exudes. She will take the time to get to know you and what your definition of a dream birth experience would be and she’ll help you prepare mentally, physically and emotionally. Rey has an extensive knowledge of pain management techniques and will support you and hold your hand as you work through labor and beyond. I would recommend her to any expecting parents!

      Rey has gone above and beyond to make sure I feel supported emotionally and physically. This pregnancy has been such an enjoyable journey with her on my team. I can’t imagine bringing my son into the world without her by my side. I am incredibly grateful for the advice and suggestions she has given me.
