Testimonial for Brenda Giourmetakis
Hiring a doula is extremely helpful for new parents like ourselves. Brenda and Erin was a huge help before, during, and after my wife's child birth process. They provided us advice on how my wife can stay comfortable during pregnancy thru exercises and massage techniques, provided a very good detailed overview of the entire birth process and informing us of what we should be expecting, help ensure we installed the baby car seats properly, assisted my wife in the whole breastfeeding process, and wrote my wife's birth plan by surveying my wife to determine what she is comfortable during labour process (i.e,what acceptable pain relief techniques to use, environment of the labour room, who cuts the cord, feeding process after birth, etc) and help us with a contingency plan if birth doesn't go as expected. We shared our birth plan with our doctor, so he would be informed.They were also always there for my wife before, during and after the the labour process. They came to the hospital right away once my wife was in labour and tried and help anyway they can. During post postpartum, they were always available via text messages to answer any postpartum questions we had, parenting tips, tips/tools/techniques on how to put a fussy baby to sleep, and checked up on us frequently. They also provide photo services during the birth process if you want to have detailed memories.
I would recommend Brenda and Erin to any upcoming new/existing parents who are looking at improving the overall health of the mother and baby, and minimizing potential birth complications during the pregnancy process. They have a vast amount of knowledge and experience (Brenda has five children/Erin has two children) and can share information to assist parents in reaching their needs and goals during the pregnancy/child birth process. I was able to get doula claim thru my insurance benefits.
Thank you Brenda/Erin for all your help, support, advice, and guidance!
