Testimonial for Brenda Giourmetakis
To begin, after my experience with Brenda, I don't know how anyone could give birth without a doula. It all began with her first visit to our home where we devised a birth plan, she was very knowledgable and not opinionated towards any choices I made. She had many techniques that she showed my partner and I how to relieve pain and stress during my third trimester and birth. As my doula, Brenda held a Blessing way celebration for me. Close family and friends whom were mothers themselves attended. The celebration unlike a baby shower was all about me. It was very emotional, heart warming and empowering. When the time had finally come and labour had began,Brenda was by my side every minute. She was my shoulder to cry on and my focal point in times of pain. She remained very calm and focused on her commitment to my baby and I. She made sure the nurses and doctors stuck to my birth plan and at the times interventions were needed Brenda informed me of what was to be expected and made me feel confident in my choices. During labour Brenda was very focused on redirecting my attention to my breathing and remaining calm in times of panic. She had many great tools to help with the pain. I truly do not believe my birth would have gone as smooth without her. Following my delivery Brenda helped me through my breastfeeding struggles, provided me with great contacts to rectify my sons tongue and lip tie, and performed a tuck in ceremony, another wonderful experience. Beginning with a relaxing bath with rose petals to warm body oil and a belly wrap. Brenda kept my spirits up when they were down, and always kept me positive and focused on my goal, my baby! Brenda is an unbelievably caring and giving person, I could not imagine an occupation better suited for her!My entire experience with Brenda was amazing! I thank her daily for all that she has done for my family. I would recommend Brenda and her amazing skills,knowledge and techniques to anyone!
Thank you Brenda!
