Client Testimonials for Harriet (Ropani) Simbe Post a testimonial for Harriet (Ropani) Simbe
Having Ropani as my doula was genuinely one of the greatest things i received since finding out i was pregnant. Not only was she someone i could genuinely get along with but she was also someone who was helpful in understanding my birth plan. Even though i was high risk; there wasn't anything that she did to make me feel bad about what i wanted for my childbirth. I was well informed about a lot of things before hand but meeting with her helped me to better understand what certain things meant. During my labor; she was such a big support to me. I kept feeling like i wanted to just up & leave before the induction process started but both her & my husband made the process worth it. Through out my labor i was in tremendous pain and felt like i couldn't follow my plan the way i wanted bc of my pain. Even though i didn't stick to the plan & i felt badly about it; She kept telling how great i was doing and supported every decision i made. It made me feel all the more better and she even found an amazing food spot for me with really good soup so i was 100% happy about that. But overall she genuinely made my experience one of a kind & didn't talk bad about me for not following my expectations.
Ropani has been very helpful during my pregnancy, during delivery and also checked on me postpartum. She has resolved my concerns throughout the time and been there like a friend. I am very satisfied with her service and would highly recommend her.
