Testimonial for Luci Gimenes
While I hadn't initially considered using a doula, Luci came highly recommended by a good friend who had worked with her throughout both pregnancies.
Luci was the only doula I spoke to, and I knew right away she was the perfect fit as we immediately clicked. Both my husband and I felt so comfortable with her due to her calm manner, kindness and extensive knowledge and experience. Luci was always extremely responsive, patiently answering our questions or any concerns over phone or text whenever we needed her. The pre natal visits were so informative and gave us an excellent grounding for what to expect. It was so helpful to have this as first time parents and by the time I went into labour, Luci felt very much like part of our family!
My experience of giving birth didn't end up going exactly to plan, but it was so comforting to have Luci there to advocate for us. She was able to offer her expertise while remaining objective and not influencing our decisions one way or another. I'll never forget her dedication and unwavering support during those tough times!
The period after giving birth was an emotional roller-coaster and I'm so grateful for Luci's help during this time. Luci reassured me that, despite feeling like I didn't know what I was doing, in fact I was doing fine, and my baby was thriving. I found the advice on breastfeeding especially invaluable and I don't think I would have been able to feed my little one so successfully during those initial days if it hadn't been for Luci's guidance.
Our journey into parenthood was an unforgettable experience, sometimes fraught with uncertainty and worry, and often with excitement and joy, and having Luci there as a supportive and reassuring presence made an incredible difference. I would not hesitate to recommend Luci to anyone and am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her!
