Testimonial for Luci Gimenes
He had interviewed 3 doulas and they were all great people, but Luci's passion and the loving way of communicating connected with my wife right away. We never regretted our decision every since.
Luci offers two pre-delivery sessions at 36 and 38 weeks, offering very helpful tips and dry runs for pain relief. She took her time to give us very practical information on how to relief and manage pain and discomfort, not only for labour but also for the weeks leading to it. The second session was focused on baby care and various ways of massages. The baby care proved to be very helpful during the first days after the labour. The massaging was a very thoughtful way of finding out what pain relief method works for our case. All this preparation made us more confident towards the upcoming labour. Bear in mind that we had gone to an excellent child bearing class, and we still find Luci's prenatal sessions very helpful and spot on for what we needed to prepare.
During active labour, Luci mostly went along with what made my wife most comfortable and helped tremendously in pain relief. Luci was also very assertive when it's needed so we made all the good calls leading to going to the hospital. Luci was very caring and helped us in every aspect both at home and the hospital, but she kept a very professional so the midwife and nurses were having great assistance but not getting overstepped at the same time.
For postpartum Luci visited us twice in three weeks after the delivery. She gave us helpful tips on breast feeding and baby care, which made our first few weeks a lot easier than it could have been. My wife would still call her even after for breast feeding tips. We are very happy to know Luci and she will forever be part of a very sweet and special memory.
