Testimonial for Simone Toomer, CD/CBE(DTI), IBCLC, CBC, LCCE, ISE
My husband and I hired Simone because we wanted the support and knowledge of a Doula to help us achieve our goal of having a natural, unmedicated birth. We appreciated her calming and pleasant presence. We also liked that she had given birth before and knew what it was like. When I started to go into labor, Simone and I were in contact with each other via text and phone call and she was positive and reassuring. She met us at our apartment to labor at home with us and then helped us to decide when to go to the hospital. She was instrumental in helping me through the different stages of labor. While waiting for the Uber car to arrive, she helped me to stay "in the zone" and not lose my focus. When I was experiencing back pressure, her back massages and the counter pressure she applied were incredibly helpful. When I was doubting whether I could keep going, Simone continued to say motivating and positive things and helped remind me of my goal. She encouraged me to get into different positions during labor and to take a shower which were key in helping speed up my labor. We are pleased with our experience with Simone and so thankful for her support in the journey of childbirth.
