Testimonial for Luci Gimenes
I feel so very fortunate that Luci was recommended to me by my original midwife. We had planned to interview a few doulas, but the moment we met Luci we knew our search had come to an end. Her gentle energy and confidence really made us feel at ease about having our first baby.
When it came to my birthing time Luci came at the right time. Just as things were really picking up, but not before, so I had time alone with my husband that was very special. Throughout my birthing time Luci was extremely respectful of my birth preferences and made gentle suggestions on position changes, how to breathe and relax through waves and things my husband could do to be part of the process. The way she holds space is almost indescribable. My birth didn't go as planned and I don't know how we would have done it without her. She made us feel supported in all of the really hard choices we had to make. Once our baby (finally) arrived she took photos (completely unexpected) that are priceless. I will cherish them forever.
Luci contacted us every single day after the birth to ask how things were going. It was really nice to have someone checking in on ME and not just the baby. We had a few days of breastfeeding that were hard and as soon as Luci knew that she came over immediately the same evening and helped us. We are now very successfully breastfeeding and we owe it all to her.
From prenatal to the fourth trimester Luci is an expert. I will miss her. I highly recommend her services. You can tell this is not just a job for her. THANK YOU, LUCI. ♥?
