Testimonial for Tara Withey
We had an amazing experience with Tara! We took her childbirth class and learned a lot and would highly suggest that to anyone, especially those planning for a natural birth. I thought doulas were there to only help during the actual labor, but towards the end of the pregnancy I found out just how important it was to have her only a text away for questions/concerns and just any help to calm any anxiousness I was feeling. I went 10 days past my due date and really struggled during that time as family and friends were calling and messaging me often to voice their concerns that I was so "late" and afraid of how big my baby was going to be. Tara really relaxed me during this time and made me feel confident and content in those final days! My labor was VERY quick (which she had actually predicted would happen for me the first time we met, when I was only 2-3 months pregnant). By quick, I mean I went into labor around 5:30/6pm and baby was born at 8:16pm. She came to our house super quick after I let her know how things were progressing and helped get me into the shower and helped my husband set up the birth pool before the midwife arrived. She helped me to remain calm and confident even during some pretty intense contractions. She inherently knows when to be hands on and when to be hands off, I appreciate that very much about her. I was progressing so quickly that I at one point thought she may be delivering my baby and had peace about that if it would have happened too! After the birth they have to do a physical exam down there and one thing I love is that while my husband and daughter were busy holding our son, Tara came over and held my hand and talked to me during the exam, which was so nice. She also checked in often to see how we were doing adjusting to being a family of 4 and I know that even now I can ask her advice on anything and she's always so quick and happy to help! You can tell that she loves what she does and we love her too!
