I'm so glad I had Andreina as an extra resource for my birth experience particularly afterwards when she came to my home and gave me pointers on breastfeeding which were so helpful and I believe saved me from a lot of pain between feedings. She's continues to be a resource for us which has been so valuable. 

From the first phone call I had with Sam, I felt safe and in charge of my own birth. I was scared my voice would not be heard in the delivery room, and my birth plan would not be acknowledged. After talking with Sam, it was clear that she had my best interests at the forefront of this entire process and would advocate for me. She explained her role during and after my birth.

I was interested in placenta encapsulation along with preserving a print of my baby's home for the last ten months in my body! I was so happy and relieved that Sam was a one stop shop and offered these services. She explained the process in depth and how she would go about collecting my placenta after the baby came.

I felt on top of the world knowing I had an amazing team on my side, and as this was my first baby, Sam helped push any fears I had out of my head.

Unfortunately due to COVID restrictions in the hospital, I was not allowed a Doula in our room. However, Sam was available for any questions and concerns I had once I started my labor. She was there when my emotions were going through the roof and contractions were getting heavier; she was able to calm me down with her gentle words. She provided material for me and my boyfriend to try different positions while I was going through my hardest labor at home. Knowing I had Sam there on my side was an inexplainable relief.

After my son was born, she came to our house and picked up his placenta. She hung out for a bit and we chatted as if we had known each other for years. She brough back the encapsuled pills and a print that will be forever cherished. Sam quickly became a part of our family and we are forever grateful she shared in our birth experience!!

It’s not often that you meet a person like Terri, much less are lucky enough to have your child in her care. You’d be lucky enough to simply be in her orbit, but to be on the receiving end — as parents, and our children — of her tender loving care is truly a gift. My husband and I moved back home after a stint on the west coast and found ourselves in need of some night care for our first baby — who was then 3 months old — as we transitioned into our new remote positions and home. MommaT came into our lives with so much love, warmth, knowledge, & understanding for our situation that we immediately felt a connection to her. We were instantly comfortable handing our baby bundle to her as we crashed into our beds for some much needed rest. 

If the quality of care isn't enough, Terri is a wellspring of information. She is incredibly resourceful & plugged into her community. Anything you need, she can give you the name/number of someone who can help, or will call them right up for you on the spot. When my husband was away on work trips, Terri would show up with a healthy, home cooked meal for me. She is so thoughtful and goes the extra 10 miles without ever having to ask. Terri has a deep knowledge of lactation and this helped me feel confident enough to wean off the nipple shield. She is a calming presence, and great listener, and a great comfort. I truly don’t know how I would have survived the 4th trimester without Terri. Finding a doula can feel a bit like handing your baby over to a stranger and hoping for the best. It's our hope that this review can help relieve that stress, because Terri has been absolutely amazing for our family and we can not recommend her highly enough. She has really become a part of our family. Her support is invaluable and we are so happy she’s in our lives. If you are looking for a doula, look no further.
