Testimonial for Camille Fiori BS, IBCLC, CD(DONA), HCHI, HCHD, AdvNCS(NCSA)
As soon as I got pregnant I knew I wanted a doula to help guide me through my baby’s birth; but until we met Camille, I had no idea how valuable a doula could be through the whole process of pregnancy and even postpartum. We met with Camille at our house twice before delivering, and each time she arrived prepared with materials for us to review relevant to the stage of pregnancy I was in at the moment or decisions I would need to make about the birth, and answers to all the questions I had at the time. Her warmth, compassion, and enthusiasm shone through at each visit. Unlike other doula applicants I had considered, she was willing to devote as much time to each visit to discuss my choices as I needed, and never once acted as though she was “on the clock”—even though we kept her answering questions for hours each time! She made us feel like her only clients in the world. In addition to the home visits, Camille was always available to answer questions over email or over the phone, and her responses to emails were lengthy, though-out, well-researched and, most of all, incredibly supportive. I had insulin-dependent gestational diabetes in my third trimester, and not only did she send me great additional resources to review and consider as I prepared for my son’s birth in a hospital setting, but she also sent dietary recommendations, food recipes, and other at-home tips for making the last several weeks of the pregnancy with this complication easier. Overall, hiring Camille to serve as our birth doula was the best decision we could have made to help us through the monumental process of pregnancy and childbirth. She will always be an outsize figure in my family’s life because of the incredible role she played in bringing about the birth of my son. I could not recommend her more highly to other families seeking support at this crucial time.
