This was our second birth with Tonya and she was completely amazing once again. We had a birth center water birth with our daughter, and throughout the experience, Tonya was attentive, kind, and incredibly intuitive. In labor I have trouble talking and communicating my needs, but Tonya continually knew what I needed--a sip of water, a lower back massage, a fan to cool me down, some juice for calorie intake--without me saying a word.
Before birth, Tonya is a wonderful support regularly checking in and offering words of encouragement. She was a partner with my husband as he supported me and worked seamlessly with our midwife, birth assistants, and entire birth team.
The only thing that makes me sad about writing this testimonial is that this is likely our last baby, so we won't be able to have Tonya as our doula again in the future! I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is a gem, and your birth experience will be far and away a better one with her at your side, whether you choose to deliver in a hospital, at home, or in a birth center.
