"Reighan was my doula for my third birth and second home birth. She got there just in time. Having her there for birth and after was amazing. After birth she knew what I needed before I knew I needed it. She's very kind and respectful. During my postpartum visits she was amazing with my older two children and knew to do helpful things with out me asking. The unlimited amount of support leading up to birth was great. The last few weeks are tough but she's there to help you through it. Also, her lactation cookies were delicious!"

"This is my doula, Reighan Kohl of The Light Collective. She helped me give birth to my son on Wednesday, June 15th, at Samaritan and because of her experience, wisdom and support, she helped me reach my birth goal of a drug free delivery!!πͺ She has a very gentle energy and positive vibe that makes the room more calming and welcoming for the birth experience. If youβre on the fence about a doula you should definitely schedule a consultation with her and see how she can transform your birth experience!! π β₯οΈ"

"Reighan was such an amazing doula. This was my first pregnancy/birth and I didn't know what to expect of anything, but Reighan thought of everything to make sure I was as comfortable and confident as I could be going into it.Β She was so knowledgeable, encouraging and supportive. I can't recommend hiring her enough! You need her in your birth space!"Β

"Reighan was my birth doula for my second baby, my VBAC! I knew I wanted a doula from the start, and I met with a few. Reighan is who we ended up going with. She was the BEST support. Sheβs knowledgeable, kind, peaceful, and really takes the time to get to know you and your preferences. I had a long labor and she was with us the whole time, from laboring at home, until our baby girl arrived. I couldnβt have done it without her, and I recommend the Light Collective to anyone and everyone!"

"I can't begin to express how grateful I am to have had the privilege of having Reighan as our Doula. Her warm, caring, and gentle nature combined with her wealth of knowledge and experience had a tremendously positive impact on the birth of our son. Reighan went far above and beyond the call of duty. This was our first child so we weren't sure what to expect. No amount of reading can fully prepare you for that experience. Meeting with Reighan ahead of the scheduled induction gave us an opportunity to ask lots of questions and get a better feel for what was in store. The labor and delivery turned out to be a particularly traumatic one, ending in an emergency Caesarian after more than 37 hours of labor. Reighan was there every step of the way, supporting in any way my wife needed, including very helpful advice and techniques for pain management and comfort, and administering some pressure point techniques herself. It's also worth noting that Reighan's communication and punctuality were top notch. She was always clear and concise when discussing a plan and conveying information. Very professional yet felt like part of the family at the same time. You cannot go wrong hiring Reighan as your Doula. If my wife and I choose to have a second child, we would not hesitate to hire her again."Β

"I was unsure about getting a doula. At first I was not sure what the point would be to have another person in the delivery room with us. However I also wanted my wife to be as comfortable and confident with her experience as possible and wanted my future child to have the best chance during delivery. My wife and I are both very busy and pragmatic people. We knew we wanted enough information that we could adjust to what would work for us, not just study a book and force a single system onto ourselves. This is where Reighan excelled! She knows a lot and uses all of her information to make a system/plan that is ever evolving during the process so that it fits the current needs and not forcing things. Bringing Reighan into the equation not only gave us the ability to feel more con-fident during the delivery but with her pre and post-delivery visits/consultation we learned more than we did from the books we read and social media accounts we followed. Every sin-gle topics we brought up Reighan knew about and added even more in depth information. That information ranged from delivery techniques, to baby carriers, to post-partum foods to help healing. Dads, I cannot recommend hiring Reighan enough. The presence of Reighan in the delivery allowed me to be a rock for my wife. She did not take a single second away from me being in the room. She was right by my side making suggestions in the moment so that I could make the experience better for my wife. Having her there gave me the confidence that how I was supporting my wife was the exact thing I needed to be doing in the moment. The type of support required during the 46 hour labor experience changed, but with Reighan being there made the transition to each new situation was flawless. If the mother of your child has expressed that she wants a doula or specifically Reighan in the room, do yourself a favor and reach out to Reighan. She is worth every single cent. Moms, its hard to describe how instrumental Reighan was for my wife. My wife went through a 46 hour delivery. Reighan was by our side every single second! Reighans dedication was absolutely incredible. She cared so much she slept in a chair so that she could be with us through the night! Not only was she dedicated to the situation, she brought a ton of information. It was such a blessing to see her make suggestions on different positions and breathing techniques that helped my wife. Her suggestions were things that our nurse with 35 years experience had never seen or thought of, it was incredible! Do yourselves a favor and enhance your experience with Reighan! My wife and I have already decided that she will be included in the birth of our second child as well. Because of her knowledge and desire to serve (not impose) she brings a calming and loving presence that is hard to put into words."
