Testimonial for Simone Blais
Simone supported my partner Brandy and I immensely as we welcomed our twins in the Summer of 2022. During my labour she was a constant source of steady, grounded, calm energy and was able to support me and my partner during an extremely tough labour and (for me) was invaluable during my c-section recovery. She was there on our first day at home with the babies, offering lactation cookies and warm, nourishing food. To this day, she is the only person we have trusted to stay with our twins (who are almost 6 months old!), because her gentleness, years of experience, and deep care for our little family put us at ease, as first time moms.
Aside from the professional qualifications you would want in a doula (which Simone has all of), her personable and easeful presence, knowledge of local postpartum and parenting resources, ability to validate and reassure, her critical analysis of the systems at play in the birthing world, and her genuine, compassionate, and loving spirit make Simone the kind of person that helps to have around during those vulnerable, emotion-filled and overwhelming days after birthing. I cannot reccomend her enough. We love auntie Simone!
