Testimonial for Tara White
On the day I went into labor, Tara was up and eagerly ready to fulfill her support role. At the point Tara arrived, I was struggling though my contractions and Tara immediately provided relief as she would continue to do tirelessly through the duration of my labor, through various types of massage. I am telling you, she was absolutely awesome! During the contractions, Tara would find a way to help me cope with the pain through these different massages. I couldn’t believe how varied they were and how much they helped the actual pain my body was experiencing and my mental stance during the contractions. Tara offered to ride with us. The ride was very uncomfortable and she helped me through the beginning of my back labor contractions. Upon arriving at the birth center, Tara eased into her support role with the birth team, my midwife and two nurses. Tara continued to provide the massage support and I know her arms and upper body had to be so worn out, but she did not ever indicate if they were and kept the focus on me and what my body needed to do to bring baby into the world. I had birthed our 8th child over 2 years before in the same room, in the same way. I couldn’t get settled in the water though. I tried some different positions and feeling frustrated and lost, got back out and paced the room. I had some very painful contractions out of the water and Tara piped up with a good suggestion for help with my body position for the next contraction. I tried it as soon as the next one hit and felt thankful that she had thought of something for me to try. Tara was great through my she-woman screams and her calm and assured voice reminded me to breathe and encouraged me in those last excruciating moments. Baby came out in the water and of course, all angst was immediately wiped from memory. But, I cannot forget how awesome it was to have Tara with us through this labor.
