Testimonial for Luci Gimenes
I immediately felt comfortable with Luci when I met her and wanted to hire her right away. We didn't even interview any other doulas - it just felt right. My intuition was absolutely accurate. Luci was so warm and accomodating. From the pre-birth prep to the birth itself, she was amazing! We had been taking the hypnobabies classes and had decided to use hypnosis as a means for pain reduction. Although this method was new to her, Luci was really open to learning about the technique and accomodating us.
In the week before I gave birth, Luci was checking in frequently, and even came to my house to give me a leg massage because my legs were so swollen. She also came to take me for a walk because I was over a week overdue and I was worried about having to be induced.
I went into labour at 11 pm, and Luci was with us by 1 am. We had decided on a home water birth, so while my husband was setting up the birthing pool, Luci was giving me a back massage. I had very bad back labour, and the massage and pressure on my back was sooooo helpful. I don't know how I would have gotten through the 9 hours of labour drug free at home without her.
Thank you so much, Luci!!
