Testimonial for Camille Fiori BS, IBCLC, CD(DONA), HCHI, HCHD, AdvNCS(NCSA)
Choosing a doula for your birth or postpartum is not easy and should be something you take your time to decide. However, I knew Camille was the right fit for us as soon as I discovered how passionate she is about both babies and moms being well versed on the most current scientific studies to ensure the short and long term health of them both. Her dedication to her work is coupled with a level of professionalism that we did not find in other doulas. Because of this Camille quickly became a trusted confidant to me and my husband leading up to, during, and even after the birth of our daughter.
As first time parents we were looking for someone to support us through birth. What makes Camille particularly well suited for this role is the time she takes to get to know you, your partner, and your preferences. She knows your birth plan, your hopes and your fears which allows her to offer advice that is personal to you. Our ultimate goal was to do as much as possible to protect the microbiome of our baby and encourage breast feeding. As with every birth unexpected challenges arose and Camille was there to help us meet them. I was induced as result of a high slow leak and my contractions were very strong as result of the pitocin leading me to ultimately choose an epidural. Knowing that was not what I wanted Camille helped out both me and my husband at ease reassuring us along the way that our ultimate goal was still in sights. As result of our vigorous preparation coupled with her encouragement we were able to get our baby out in just 35 minutes. A feat for a first time mom who was told her baby was going to be “too big”! The crowing moment for us was being able to complete the breast crawl with Camille filming the hole thing! Our girl latched on in that golden hour and has been a healthy eater ever since.
It was honestly hard to say goodbye to Lindsay! We might just have to have a second kid so we can hire her again!
