Testimonial for Tatiane Siqueira Doula
My husband is a physician, I'm a skeptic with some yoga training, and we're both very anxious. So when we were looking for a doula, we needed someone who could ground our conversations in facts and research, engage the faith in my body that was lost in my abandoned yoga practice, and offer lots of emotional support. It's a tall order, but Tatiane was the perfect person and helped us immensely as we navigated the late stages of pregnancy and labor. Tatiane is an Evidence Based Birth Instructor with a calming presence and a keen ability to read a room. She listened to our concerns and provided us with exercises to identify our priorities, anticipate and research the decision we would need to make, and help us advocate effectively with the medical staff. Our meetings with her helped my husband and I to get on the same page about what was important to us so that we were a better team during the birthing process. Once I was in labor, she helped me to slow down my contractions and labor at home as long as possible. When we got to the hospital, Tatiane created space for me to consider and discuss my options with my husband and the staff. My husband wasn't keen to work with a doula and I couldn't express exactly why I wanted a doula as part of our birth team - I still don't have the perfect words to express Tatiane's great contribution to our pregnancy and labor. My husband and I do agree, though, that our experience and even our outcomes would likely have suffered if we had not had Tatiane by our side.
