Testimonial for Mathilde Bourgon
"Mathilde is worth her weight in gold. I was extremely anxious during pregnancy and had many fears about birth. I desperately needed a professional to "hold my hand" throughout the journey. Mathilde was able to put my fears to rest. She is an invaluable resource and knows just about everything in the realms of pregnancy and birth. And if she doesn't know, she goes the extra mile and invests a lot of time on your behalf, to find out the latest research.
Not only warm and caring, she is unbiased in her advice. She is highly professional, thorough and organized. There is no detail or concern that she did not address. Her temperament and demeanor is exactly what's required in the delivery room. I had a 40 hour labor and she was a godsend; helped me through contractions, made sure I had enough liquids and gave me massages so my husband could rest. If you have a hospital birth (we delivered at St John's in Santa Monica) you cannot rely on the rotating nursing staff to be compassionate and listen to you as they are focused on following protocol. Mathilde will be your advocate and will tend to your needs, like a dear friend. She will support you and do what it takes to make your delivery experience incredible, just as you and your partner envisioned.
Mathilde is also a seriously good photographer and will take photos of your birth if you wish. I am SO glad she captured those tender moments for us to cherish forever. Icing on the cake! She is the real deal and I cannot recommend her enough!
Thank you Mathilde!"
