Client Testimonials for Bianca Tema Quinonez CLEC
Adriana Phillips
Bianca was a wonderful pre-partum, birth and post-partum doula. She truly loves what she does and has natural attributes that make her such a great doula - her calm demeanor and friendly personality are perfect for this profession. She has makes the father's feel at ease during the process.
My husband was hesitant to hire a doula at first, thinking he wouldn't be a big part of the birth of his first child, however Bianca was able to tell him places to massage and how to help me during contractions. We will definitely use Bianca for the birth of our second child!
