There are no words to express how thankful I am for everything Tamara did for us. She was amazing. It didn't occur to me that I wanted a doula until I was 38 weeks pregnant. A friend's midwife recommended Tamara, and just from our first phone call, I could sense that Tamara has a great energy about her. We had an appointment to meet up on a Monday, but I went into labor the Friday before that. Even though we had but a couple of phone calls, and had never met in person, Tamara came in and provided exactly what I needed, when I needed it. I had a very long labor, and Tamara was right there by my side for it all to make me comfortable both in body and mind. I will cherish my birth experience and how much better it was because she was there. Even though things didn't go exactly according to my birth plan, I don't regret anything. I feel like I made the right decisions at the time, and Tamara's guidance is a huge part of why I'm able to feel that way. It is 100% without hesitation that I would recommend Tamara as a doula to any of my friends.
