Testimonial for Simone Junious
I was introduced to Simone through the East River Doula Collective. I was a high risk pregnany with no choice but to have a hospital birth and to be induced early. While interviewing Doulas I wanted to make sure I could trust someone who was familiar with the hospital systems but also approach my care holistically.
Simone helped me prepare for delivery up to 3 weeks beforehand with holistic and herbal ammendments. She helped myself and my partner prepare mentally, physically and emotionally prior to my induction date. Every meeting Simone approached our questions with a light hearted, personable and extremly knowledgable response. She made time for us and never made us feel rushed.
During my labor and birth (24+ hours) Simone responded to all questions and concerns, no matter the time of day/night. When she arrived at the hospital she jumped right into action and made me feel safe. She reminded us of our preferences and helped guide me through my vaginal birth process.
I am beyond appreciative of Simone and the love she puts into her work as a birth companion. We would not have had as successful of a birthing experience without her.
