I cannot say enough wonderful things about Tia! I hired Tia as my doula for my first pregnancy because I wanted to experience a delivery with as little intervention as possible. Tia met with me, several times before my delivery, in my home, and went over topics like a birth plan, labor positions, and breastfeeding. Late into my pregnancy we found out my baby was breech and that I would most likely need to have a scheduled c section. Tia gave me suggestions for resources that provided information on this, she was there for my external version and supported me through the entire procedure, and most importantly she helped me to feel okay with the fact that my delivery may not be exactly as I had envisioned it. Once we knew that s scheduled c section was my only option, Tia helped me create a birth plan that would still included many of my desires. She was present on the day of my c section and was a great support for my husband and I. Tia was able to come into the operating room with me and she took several pictures of the delivery. Tia remained with me in the recovery room and helped my baby and I get started breastfeeding. She knew how important this was to me and I am so thankful she was there to help us both experience success. After the birth, Tia also encapsulated my placenta and delivered them to my home during our postpartum visit. I’m so happy I made the decision to hire Tia and I highly recommend her!
