Testimonial for Luci Gimenes
Hiring Luci was one of the best things we did surrounding our son’s birth. She was initially our birth doula and her prenatal services were absolutely perfect, especially her massage skills. We ended up having an elective c-section as our baby was breech, which was a very difficult experience for me, as well as the fact that breastfeeeding didn’t work out. I chose to bottle feed after two days, partly because I was in a lot of pain post-op ; as expats, we were also away from family and I found myself needing a lot of emotional support, and Luci provided guidance, comfort and answers at a time when I felt completely lost and vulnerable, and very intimidated by the challenges of early parenthood. She never imposed anything but was very supportive of my choices which was so comforting because I did feel judged a lot for choosing not to breastfeed. She also took care of our baby boy overnight as a post-partum service, which allowed us to catch up on sleep while knowing that he was in wonderful hands, and helped us bond with him in the sweetest way, constantly reassuring us and answering our questions. She truly eased our way into parenthood and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for her help and wisdom.
