We cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Camille Fiori and Nourish: Birth + Postpartum. As first-time parents, we were filled with excitement and anticipation but also some apprehension about the birthing process. From the moment we met Camille, she put us at ease with her warm and caring nature, making us feel comfortable and supported throughout the entire journey.
Before the birth, Camille introduced us to the concept of hypno birthing, and it was a game-changer for us. Her expertise in this area was evident as she patiently guided us through various techniques, helping us gain confidence in our ability to manage the birthing process. Thanks to her, we felt more in control and less anxious about the whole experience.
Communication was always a priority for Camille, and we truly appreciated that. She was always just a phone call or message away, willing to address any concerns or questions we had leading up to the birth. This level of accessibility and responsiveness helped alleviate many of our anxieties, knowing we had her unwavering support.
When the big day finally arrived, Camille was a true pillar of strength. She was by our side, providing encouragement, reassurance, and practical guidance every step of the way. Her calming presence was invaluable, and she created an environment of positivity and serenity in the delivery room.
Camille's support didn't end with the birth of our daughter Claire. In fact, that was just the beginning. As postpartum doulas, she continued to be an incredible resource for us during those early weeks of parenthood. She conducted six postpartum sessions, and each one was tailored to our specific needs and concerns. From breastfeeding support to sleep strategies, Camille provided us with a wealth of knowledge and effective techniques to help us navigate this new chapter in our lives.
Beyond her professional expertise, what truly sets Camille apart is her genuine care and compassion for her clients. She went above and beyond to make sure we felt heard, understood, and empowered as new parents. Her non-judgmental approach and positive attitude created a safe space where we could openly share our experiences and seek guidance without hesitation.
In conclusion, we can confidently say that Camille Fiori and Nourish: Birth + Postpartum played a vital role in making our birthing experience and transition into parenthood an incredibly positive one. Her hypno birthing techniques, constant communication, and unwavering support made all the difference in the world. We cannot thank her enough for being such an integral part of our journey, and we wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate doula. Thank you, Camille,...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI will always be grateful to Camille! I cannot overstate the role she played in my postpartum recovery & would recommend her without hesitation. Itās difficult to do her justice with just a few words, but Iāll tell you that her support totally empowered my husband & I as new parents. It also set me on a path to prioritizing my own self-care as a new mama. Because of her doula support, I am not only a more confident mom, but I am really good at taking care of myself!
Weāre Australian and due to Covid-related travel restrictions, couldnāt have any family visit when our baby boy arrived. My main motivation in hiring a postpartum doula was to have some extra support in absence of those ānaturalā supports, thinking a doula would be able to provide practical help with the baby, lactation support & advice on newborn care. What we received was so much more than that. I believe that Camille really supported my whole transition to becoming a new mom.
Camille is a professional in every way, but her support is holistic & comes from a place of such genuine care. Sheās got an impressive resume & was a goldmine of information when it came to newborn & postpartum care, but never ever pushed an opinion or agenda ā she would happily educate & offer resources when asked (which we did⦠a lot!) but I believe her goal is to allow families to be who they are in a non-judgemental way. We gained so much by drawing from her expertise. She saved our sleep setup; provided amazing lactation support & helped me with my nursing goals (so valuable after our baby was bottle-fed from day 1 in the nicu); helped us to understand our babyās behavior and cues; and to add to all that practical help, Camille was a major support to me emotionally in those early weeks.
Whether it was caring for baby so that I could take a long shower; doing baby laundry; helping me set up baby gear; making sure I was comfortable while nursing; or sometimes just making me a cup of tea & holding space for me to talk about how I was feeling⦠Camille did a great job of intuitively knowing where support was needed on any given day. There are so many areas I know my husband and I navigated easily because of Camilleās support in those early weeks. I will always be grateful for it, because I know for sure our family would have had such a different postpartum experience if not for her! THANK YOU Camille ā¤...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWith Camille, I had the most wonderful birth doula experience. Sheās the complete doula package: the endless warmth and emotional support of a close friend, as well as extensive, holistic knowledge about the total pregnancy/antepartum experience of a professional birth doula. She went above and beyond answering my (many) questions about nutrition, how to take the best physical care of my body each trimester, and what specialists to consider seeing for additional support. (Among others, I found a fantastic acupuncturist and pregnancy chiropractor that I still use regularly.)
When you first get to know Camille, her warmth and care for pregnant moms and new babies is immediately apparent. One of my concerns about having a birth doula with my hospital birth was needing this kind of emotional support, but also wanting a steadying, confident, firm presence to advocate for me in the hospital setting. I was completely reassured with Camille: she had a great rapport with my nurses and doctors, but always made me feel like she was there for ME first and foremost. I could NOT have completed those final pushes without her by my side!!! She was my angel sent from birth doula heaven.
Camille also provides you with a ton of resources that as a first time mom, made me feel more equipped to handle intimidating experiences like breastfeeding, including access to a really comprehensive online breastfeeding class. After delivery, when I was in the postpartum thick of it, Camille was still there, helping me give my daughter her first bath, preparing me healthy meals, and just being there to validate my zillion concerns and give me confidence I really needed during that time. (Another sidenote, I really enjoyed the tasty and nourishing meals/snacks she makes herself through her meal delivery service.)
Camille was my birth doula angel for my first baby, and now that Iām pregnant again, I couldnāt imagine using anyone else for my second. Love you so...
