Testimonial for Tatiane Siqueira Doula

Being pregnant is not only the most magical feeling in the world but also one of the scariest. Being a first time mom makes you question yourself about so much and leaves you mindlessly searching the internet for answers at all hours of the day. After deciding I wanted to have a natural, unmedicated birth, I started the internet search for a doula in the Houston area. There's the saying, "money talks" and "you get what you pay for", and I was floored at the different ranges in prices for doulas. Tatiane's price I feel is very fair, and after experienceing this with her, I'm surprised she doesn't charge more. After coming across Tatiane's page on Yelp, I messaged her for more information which led to our first meeting. Upon meeting, I immediatly felt the want to connect with a hug. Not to sound all hippy dippy, but her the mesh of her energy with mine just felt right and I knew I wanted her to be our doula.

Our second meeting was in our home where she gave us information on natural births and showed me different birthing techniques. For those of you who are readers, she has a great list of mommy to be books. If you need more information that what the internet can give, she has all sorts of good links to articles which provide tons of information. She's always available by text/phone/email for any type of pregnancy related questions for that worrying mind.

Once in labor, Tatiane met us at the hospital. She brought essential oils and a diffuser to help set a relaxing mode. She didn't take the pain away of a natural birth, but she took away the fear of the unknown. She guides you on how to cope with the pain and embrace it. Without Tatiane, I would have probably falled weak and wanted to use the drugs or get an epidural, but with her guidance and support, I was able to make it to meet our baby girl all natural. We are so happy with her services, and we can't wait to have her back for our second baby!
