Testimonial for Luci Gimenes
I wasn't sure I needed a doula for the birth of my first child. However upon meeting Luci in person, I knew she was someone I wanted by my side as support during this time. Luci was knowledgable about the birthing process and in a couple pre-birth meetings, was very helpful in explaining what to expect in a way that made us comfortable with the process.
During the actual labour and delivery, Luci's experience was invaluable. She helped me through a challenging labour by providing guidance on breathing techniques, positioning/techniques for pain relief and also helped through various massage techniques. Her calm and supportive presence was incredibly helpful in managing the pain. My husband who would've otherwise felt overwhelmed, felt supported by Luci's presence.
After the birth, Luci's post-partum visits helped to establish good breastfeeding techniques and her knowledge in this area was incredibly helpful during these early stages. Overall I found Luci to be an attentive, caring and knowledgable doula, and wouldn't hesitate recommending her to any other expectant mother.
