Testimonial for Simone Toomer, CD/CBE(DTI), IBCLC, CBC, LCCE, ISE
Choosing Simone was one of the best decisions that we made through our whole prenatal, delivery, and postpartum experience. We chose to hire a doula because both my husband and my parents live out of state. Simone was organized, a strong calming presence, and a wonderful resource through the whole process. During labor she reminded me of the things I had learned in my birthing classes that I had forgotten in the stress of the moment. She was a strong advocate for me in the hospital during a fast and difficult labor. My doctor even praised her for her role in the delivery process. She was always easy to contact and prompt in her answers to questions. Having a baby is a difficult transition, and Simone helped us manage the transition without feeling lost and overwhelmed. I can’t thank her enough.
My wife had an unexpectedly difficult delivery, and we were so grateful to have Simone around to assist us through the process. She was such a helpful and reassuring presence throughout. Simone is extremely patient, and a wonderful listener—and these qualities were especially important to us as first-time parents who had no idea what to expect, or sometimes even what questions to ask. Her pre-birth conversations with us enabled us to feel more prepared, when it was so easy for us to feel overwhelmed by what was coming. And post-birth, she was readily available both in person and by text/phone to answer any queries we had about taking care of our newborn. As a birth partner, I was especially appreciative of Simone’s attention to giving me useful advice on how I could best support my wife during a very stressful time.
