Testimonial for Simone Toomer, CD/CBE(DTI), IBCLC, CBC, LCCE, ISE
We had a wonderful experience with Simone, start to finish. From the beginning, Simone had such a kind, calming and collaborative demeanor. It was clear she was very knowledgeable and passionate about her work, and I appreciated that she came to this role with both a personal and professional perspective. We enjoyed every opportunity to spend time with her and speak with her about our pregnancy experience, as well as questions, concerns, and hopes for our daughter's birth. I felt confident going into the labor and delivery knowing that she would be available to support us, first at home, and then at the hospital. Simone was skilled at helping my husband and I to remain calm and focused when labor began, and helped to keep me comfortable and at ease as we transitioned from home to the hospital. I appreciated the easy manner in which she engaged hospital staff throughout the course of our admission, as I know some hospital staff are resistant to the presence of a doula. One of my favorite memories of labor was the quiet, early morning hours hanging out with Simone and my husband in our delivery room, just chatting about life, labor, music, and babies, before our daughter arrived. Simone's presence truly helped us to just relax and enjoy each moment of the delivery. I was able to draw on her experience as a lactation consultant when it came time to nurse our daughter, and she was wonderful about checking in with me regularly to ensure I felt her ongoing support after we transitioned home. We are so grateful to her for her availability and support, and highly recommend her services. Thank you Simone!!
With so much gratitude - Jenny, Joe, and Zahra
