Testimonial for Luci Gimenes
We found Luci through Doulamatch in Sept of 2015 when I was entering my third trimester. Since this was our first baby and both of us were nervous about what to expect we decided to hire a doula. After interviewing Luci, we knew almost immediately that she was a perfect match for us. Luci was so kind, loving and incredibly supportive throughout my third trimester and through the birth. She went way above and beyond our expectations. She was there for us when I needed her and even gave me her tens machine a few days before Christmas in case I went into labour and let me keep it until Jan 11 when my baby was born. Luci made me feel so comfortable and responded to texts and phone calls promptly. Her nursing background made us feel confident in her ability. This woman is incredibly strong. She was with us for over 24 hours without sleep or rest and she didn't even seem tired by the end. Throughout my labour she would push on my back throughout the contractions and it really really helped me cope. She did not stop massaging. Contraction after contraction she kept going. After our babe was born she helped me get breastfeeding going and came back to our place for a follow up visit and wrote us a beautiful account of my birth experience. We are so so grateful for Luci and hiring her was the best thing we could have done. If you choose to give birth in the hospital, don't be fooled that you will be fully supported by a nurse. Your nurses job is to care for the medical side of your labour. That is their priority. Luci is here for you and will do all she can to help you have best birth experience. WE LOVE LUCI! Sincerely, Jocelyn, Justin and Ava Much :))
