Testimonial for Tia Dowling-Ketant, CD, CLC
There’s so much I can say about Tia, the first is she’s just an amazing bomb doula!! This was my 1st time using a doula. Before I booked Tia I was already watching her on Instagram and wanted to have her has my doula. A chance encounter months later at the Big City Moms event in Manhattan I met her in person but I didn’t realize it was her until we started talking. Our brief conversation sealed the deal; I definitely had my doula for my second birth! I couldn’t have gotten thru my delivery without her; I didn’t care if nobody else was in the delivery room as long as Tia was there. She listens to your needs and concerns and works with you to ease your mind while providing you with the support you need. She takes her time to get to know you and your family which means a lot when you’re asking someone to join you during one of the most intimate times in your life. Her support, comfort, calmness, caring, positive energy, knowledge, guidance and her famous doula backpack is everything you need to help make your delivery not only a success but a beautiful memorable experience. No delivery is perfect and nothing may go as planned (hence my situation) but that Tia Dowling-Ketant sure knows how to handle the situation and makes it seem like smooth sailing. Having a doula is an investment, but having Tia as your doula is an investment worthwhile. I never once regretted spending the money for her services. In my case she went above and beyond especially since I was having contractions for a week prior to giving birth. She came to my home and opened her doula backpack to not only help ease the pain, but unbeknownst to me help bring my contractions closer so I can go into labor and have my bundle of joy vaginally. After a week of contractions I was ready for a C-Section lol, but Tia knew that wasn’t what I really wanted and jumped in to save the day!!
