Having a doula for the birth of my second child was great. Simone was calm, knowledgeable, supportive and helped me have the birth that I had imagined for myself. My family is now complete, but I'd recommend her to any expectant mom.
Simone is patient, knowledgeable, supportive and calming. She pushed me when needed and comforted me during the hard times. I appreciate her being my advocate when the hospital staff was pushy and disregarded my wishes and best interests.
Simone was very professional yet felt like a close family member. She made me feel super prepared during my pregnancy, for labor and my 4th trimester. With the classes she prepared us with, I was able to make confident decisions in the L&D room regarding our care. I also loved that I was able to text her wIth any questions anytime. She made helpful suggestions on everything before the baby arrived regarding his care and even afterwards when we had breastfeeding difficulties. If I can be guaranteed a girl, I'll hire again for the next go around!
I was worried that we wouldn't be able to afford a doula but Simone was able to work with us. Simone was so good during labor, and I had a long one too! She found the acupressure points that actually triggered contractions for me, and gave me advice about when to increase or decrease Pitocin. She also followed up with me several times after birth even though that was not part of the package. Since we're first time parents we were really clueless, we couldn't have done it without Simone!
Amazing experience! Thorough from beginning to end, I would recommend for all expecting mothers. Pre and postpartum care was amazing, still reach out from time to time to this day!
Simone is an efficient and committed individual that has helped me in more ways than I can explain. I was looking for an accredited African American mentor to help me begin my medical journey and I found just that. As her mentee, she helped me to become a certified doula and allowed me to shadow her, while she does her amazing work. She continues to give me ample opportunities to learn, experience, and work in my dream field. Simone has taught me to be the best support person in and outside of the delivery room, she is always readily available to help at any time, I could not have been so successful straight out of college without her.
