Testimonial for Cleo Sonier
Upon getting pregnant with my second child (and having a traumatic birth experience with my first) I knew I wanted a doula. My only hesitation was the cost but honestly it was worth every penny.
Cleo was very attentive and supportive from the moment we hired her. She helped talk me through and normalize the anxiety I was having around birth and transitioning to multiple children. She was always ready to answer a text or call about the darnedest things and was a calm and solid presence to balance out my surging hormones and insecurities. She helped me remember how to advocate for myself and came with me to hospital appointments that my partner couldn’t attend. She prepped me well for what to expect during labour, and supported me when I decided to schedule a C-section due to complications with my pregnancy.
She made sure we felt like we got our moneys worth by offering postpartum support since I didn’t end up needing labour support.
It was like having an extremely attentive and level headed family member who was also a walking encyclopedia of how to navigate the physical, emotional and medical world of pregnancy and postpartum. If you’re wondering if you should hire Cleo, stop! Just do it! You will not regret it.
