Testimonial for Tatiane Siqueira Doula
I'm a first-time mom and I can't stress enough how invaluable having a doula is during pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum. I can't say enough kind words about how much Tatiane meant to me and my husband by having her there through it all.
My labor and birth was nothing like what I expected (even after all the classes and books) and a lot of it seemed to catch me off guard----especially the pains and discomfort I felt from early labor to even now at two weeks postpartum. Her experience, very calm demeanor and unwavering support has been a lifesaver to me. I still distinctly remember her calm voice and words of positive affirmations to get me through the complications I had. I also remember focusing on her face so intensely as I was pushing that it brings me to tears thinking about it. It's difficult for me to describe the experience. It was if her face was an angel staring right at me, giving me strength. She instinctively knew I needed someone to focus on directly in front of me to help me through.
Aside from that, she also supported my husband and helped guide him in providing me with what I needed----a hand to hold, his bodily support, his voice. Her presence before we headed to the birth center was also exactly what we needed. Going into labor as a first time mom was scary when contractions became much more intense and closer together. With her meeting us at home, she was able to use techniques in attempt to ease my discomfort, keep in communication with my midwife and also assist in transferring me to the birth center. I don't think my husband and I could've done it all on our own. Suffice to say, I highly recommend Tatiane as your doula!
