Testimonial for Shaman Tomecas, CHD(The Matrona)

Thankfully, with Tomecas' years of experience as a nurse prior to becoming a doula, she told us what we needed to do to prepare for a natural birth, and as a result, my wife delivered naturally just four hours after the first contraction.

She did not try to take over the process, but helped guide us to a smooth natural birth. She helped my wife through her contractions and was able to tell when she was ready to start pushing. I would not have known what to do during the labor process had she not been present, and we likely would have deferred to the nurses and doctors for the entire time which likely would have resulted in an epidural (which we were hoping to avoid) and possibly a c-section birth.

I was skeptical about hiring a doula at first, but after meeting and working alongside Tomecas to deliver my first child, I highly recommend her services.
