Testimonial for Luci Gimenes
Luci was the only doula we interviewed, because we knew once we met her that we wanted to work with her. She is so knowledgeable and has a calm demeanour that puts you at ease instantly. Her prenatal visits were so helpful, we learned pain control and massage techniques as well as information on things like what to bring to the hospital and what to expect during labour. She was always available to answer questions via email, text, or phone and checked in to see how the pregnancy was going. When I was overdue she used some acupressure techniques and showed my husband how to do them to hopefully kickstart labour. During labour, Luci was amazing. I had intense contractions coming close together for hours and hours and she continued to use counterpressure on my back to help me through them. She also helped me to breathe in a calm manner, as I was finding it difficult to do so while in pain and suggested different labouring positions. When I decided that I needed pain relief, she was supportive. When our little one was born she even took some great photos as baby girl was placed on my chest. Her postartum visits were so helpful with breastfeeding, it was great that she is also a lactation consultant.
I would highly recommend Luci to anyone considering hiring a doula.
