Testimonial for Camille Fiori BS, IBCLC, CD(DONA), HCHI, HCHD, AdvNCS(NCSA)
Camille was amazing and truly an extraordinary partner for the natural birth of our second son here in Santa Monica. Here's what really made Camille stand apart, as an excellent choice we'd recommend to anyone:
She's extraordinarily knowledgable and experienced and a reliable resource and voice to help me make the best choices for myself.
She knows how to politely and purposefully navigate working with hospital staff so that you stay in control and know your options at every step.
She has a wonderful toolkit of resources that helped me prepare thoughtfully. I was particularly helped by one handout that recommended to "stay on your feet!" during labor, which made all the difference.
She is one of the best listeners I've ever met, period. Camille heard and noted all of my preferences and my history (and only needed to hear things once) to remember what was important to me.
— She fully respected our choices and wishes throughout the process, made no judgments about what we wanted or didn't want, but simply supported us.
— She cares deeply and is clearly honored to be part of such an important moment. Camille is fully invested in her work and it shows! She's found her passion!
For my first birth, I was induced and had a number of interventions, including an Epidural, and my recovery took about a month. For the birth with Camille, we had a completely natural birth (in a hospital, attended by midwives). I labored at home for awhile and then our baby was born about 2 hours after we arrived at the hospital without any interventions or pain medication. Camille helped us stay calm and focused, and helped us know when it was time to leave for the hospital — the timing was perfect. She was amazing with the hospital staff and my partner, and was a lovely presence to have with us during this time. We couldn't recommend her enough!
