Testimonial for Tabare Depaep, J.D., Esq., HCHD
Taba ROCKS! I cannot say enough about what a wonderful experience we had with the birth of our second daughter and it’s 100% due to having Taba as our doula. This being my second birth, I knew what to expect for the birthing experience but really needed that extra support the second time around. My first birth was without a doula and while my husband and my mom were both supportive, I just felt I needed someone a little more knowledgeable the second time around. Someone who was 100% there for my needs and knew exactly what I wanted out of the experience. I found Taba through an on-line doula search and as soon as I found her profile I knew she was the one. We met with her and it was sealed for me. Daddy was not quite as sold on the idea of a doula…since we’d been through it before he didn’t see the need until the actual birth and now fully understands why she was there. He even told me afterward that he felt so much more comfortable for the second birth because she was there to guide him.
We met with Taba 3 times before my induction going over every aspect of how I wanted my birth to go…as naturally as possible. She was also there at the hospital every step of the way through a long drawn out 3-day induction, including a 45-minute text conversation at 3AM (!!!) calming me down when I wanted to go home that first night. I really cannot say enough about how wonderful she is and what amazing support she was. I believe without her support, I most likely would have ended up with a c-section due to needless doctor intervention. She knows what to tell you when dealing with the dr’s and she also knows how to butter up the nurses!!!
If you’re looking for a doula - you will never regret choosing Taba. I know I’m one sad mama knowing she is no longer in California for any of our future births. Best of luck on your choice!
