Reviews
Hear from families I've supported through birth and beyond.
Hiring Golden Sunshine was the best decision I made for my birth. Even my nurses kept complimenting her knowledge! She helped keep me calm when my labor slowed and tried multiple positions to help us keep progressing. I was so nervous about needing surgery, but Rachel's knowledge and calm demeanor were just the support I needed to help avoid that. As she says, "I didn't do that. YOU did that!" I am so proud of how I gave birth, but I definitely would not have had the empowering experience I did without her. I still can't believe what I'm capable of!

Rachel gave me nutrition advice and education that I desperately needed in order to get through a higher risk pregnancy. Her calm demeanor helped me to know I did have the ability to help my own body. During my labor, her knowledge of the stages of labor and which positions and exercises were best helped me move forward with so much confidence! I am so grateful for Rachel! She is an angel!

Dads! I'm telling you. You don't just need a doula. YOU NEED GOLDEN SUNSHINE! I was involved, helpful, and all because of the knowledge that Rachel gave me to help support my wife. I'd heard so many stories from friends of how scared they were during their wives' labor. Rachel guided me to help support my wife when she was in the thick of it. I would have been useless without her. She made childbirth an experience that brought my wife and I closer together after a tough deployment.
I am so glad we hired Golden Sunshine for Childbirth Education! She has a wealth of knowledge and even gave us flashcards to take into labor with us. When things got really hard, my husband ran to our bag and said, "We can try these!" 2 hours later, we had a baby. I can't believe I did that without medication. I know I wouldn't have done it without Rachel teaching us!
