Testimonial for Tara Withey
Tara is fantastic!!! Words fail to describe how awesome she is. I have never met a woman who is more suited and devoted to being a doula. She is a woman who is truly committed to supporting women and their families. She has a real heart for understanding all the emotions and issues women experience before, during and after pregnancy. She has a wealth of information from her own experiences as well as huge information and support networks. I was impressed by her intuition and thoughtfulness while I was in labor and when my son was born. She provided everything I needed in a support person from encouragement and advice to lots of little practical things that made it easier and enjoyable to birth and bond with my son. I was really touched that she was able to take photos while helping the midwife as my baby emerged. I never thought to ask her to do that, she just saw that we didn’t have a photographer and took the opportunity to do that for us. Those photos are the most precious photos I have and still fill me with awe at what we, as women, are capable of. Tara is experienced in the range of home, birth center and hospital settings and knows the issues that each setting presents from how to protect your carpet at home to the resources available in our community to which doctor best suits an individual circumstance. Tara is extremely respectful of the mother’s and family’s beliefs and wishes and works hard to ensure the best birth experience possible. Having Tara as our doula was invaluable and the support, wisdom, guidance, care and love we received from her made my son’s birth the most special moment our family has had.
