Testimonial for Tia Dowling-Ketant, CD, CLC
I didn’t think I needed a “DOULA” I barely even knew what that word meant. I had my man and my mama and I thought that was good enough I figured hey anybody else would just be to many people in the room, and what could a Doula do for me. MAN was I surprised ! When it was all said and done I realized I needed the Doula more than anybody. When I first meet Tia I immediately thought “oh she’s nice but she look young what she know about delivering babies “ and then she told me she just had her 91st birth. And I shortly realize she knew everything there was to know and more. she was kind, knowledgeable, funny, soft spoken but direct. And I quickly put my guard down and began to trust her. She answered every question I could think up She picked up her phone every time I called and no matter what I never felt any judgement come from her regarding my choices. My birth was LONG but even before that there were issues and when I cried Tia consoled me when I complained Tia listened when I was scared Tia reassured me . You’ll learn very quickly as a parent your unsure about most of your decisions and Tia gave me all the information I needed and stood by every decision I made even when things didn’t go as planned she continued to encourage me and help me find strength I didn’t know I had. I may not have known before but I know now why YOU NEED A DOULA. YOU NEED A TIA
