Testimonial for Luci Gimenes
Every so often you meet someone that carries out their work so effortlessly and naturally that it doesn’t seem like a job for them but rather an extension of who they are as a person. Luci is one of those people and because of that she quickly became an important part of our support in the preparation, delivery and early care of our newborn.
We had taken prenatal courses and read lots of baby books with our first child but didn’t use a doula. However, nearing the end of this second pregnancy, we thought support from a doula may be beneficial, as we didn’t have as much time to prepare given most of our free time being occupied by our toddler. Relying on the expertise and support of a doula seemed like the best approach to feeling confident we would be prepared without investing a lot of our own time.
Serendipitously, a pregnant friend (who did not know we were considering a doula) told us she was using Luci as a doula for a second time. From speaking with our friend, Luci appeared to check all the criteria I would want in a doula: excellent training and experience in prenatal and lactation services, kind, very generous with her time, good listener, works well with other medical support staff, hands on help, confident and supportive.
I met Luci for an initial consultation and instantly felt at ease and comfortable. I would typically spend countless hours researching before selecting a doula and it seemed like luck that a doula that matched everything I wanted seemed to just appear before me. However, once you meet Luci, you realize she seems to just know what to say and where to be at the right time! We are very happy we had Luci with us and highly recommend her to others!
