Testimonial for Shaman Tomecas, CHD(The Matrona)
Let me first start by saying that some people truly tap into their purpose for living, while others simply exist in whatever fashion they find themselves in. Tomecas is the former in every sense of the description. Being pregnant with my first child, and having little family close, I was in a constant panic of the what to do and how to do regarding this unfamiliar space I found myself in. I interviewed several highly recommended doulas who were all great, however, noone just "felt right."
I saw a card for Omorose Blessings at my doctor's office and decided to email for general information. After two emails Tomecas and I decided to chat on the telephone for a few minutes. Those minutes turned into a 2 hour conversation. I was completely at ease and her spirit simply called me. I decided to hire her that day. Tomecas was a constant source of information, support and love from day one for dad, baby and I. She was more than a labor coach. She became a counselor, medical advisor, hair stylist, make-up artist, lunch buddy and sister-friend.
My labor and delivery didnt go anywhere close to how we planned but she was right there encouraging and comforting me. In fact, I was 41 weeks and admitted to the hospital while she had another mom delivering at the same time, same hospital. She made sure that she checked on me until she could assist me fully, as her other client was much more far long than I. She stayed with me the entire time which ended up being nearly 72 hours. Her techniques and training helped me through my long and grueling labor process. As a plus, she was very known and liked by the hospital staff which made my experience easier because of the connections already in place.
Overall, choosing Tomecas was the absolute best decision for me and my family. I can't imagine pregnancy and labor without her, and I won't have to because she is my doula/sister/friend for life.
