Testimonial for Shaman Tomecas, CHD(The Matrona)
I found Tomecas based off many great reviews online, also another doula group in the area was familiar with her work and stated that she was awesome. Tomecas met witprior twice prior to my due date. Being a doula creates an unpredictable schedule therefore we did have to reschedule often, due to other clients being in labor. Tomecas is very easy to talk to and I was even able to share intimate details with her that I would never share with anyone else.. During one of the meetings we created a birth plan, which Tomecas typed and sent to us. Tomecas was very knowledgeable about our hospital and what to expect. My husband felt very assured and comfortable with Tomecas as well. I was two weeks late and decided to be induced. Upon arriving to the hospital Tomecas let us know a realistic view of how long the induction would take which was helpful because we didn't spend energy getting our hopes up that it would be a quick process. Tomecas arrived to the hospital once I was 4-5cm. I planned to do a natural birth however that changed and I opted for an epidural prior to Tomecas arriving. Tomecas was truly a God send she was able to advocate for us when things started to get questionable. Even though I received an epidural I was still in pain and she was able le to give me techniques to ease the pain. My baby was posterior and she even helped me changed positions to help flip the baby. My birth did not go as planned but I am so happy that Tomecas was there. My husband and I truly believe that things would have gone drastically different if she was not present and I would have likely had surgery. If I ever find myself needing a doula I would choose Tomecas again she was helpful and great!
