Testimonial for Tara Withey
We've known Tara for some time and always knew that when the time came we would ask her to be our doula. She is passionate, a natural educator, and she was a huge support for us - she knew what both of us needed at just the right times. When labor started hard and fast, she met us at the hospital at 2:30am. When labor ended up lasting for 30 hours, she stayed with us at the hospital. She knew that during contractions I (mom) loved quiet in the presence of pain, and a little counter pressure from her and dad went a long way! She helped us figure out all of the amazing way the hospital bed can actually be your friend. When mom started to vomit during transition and dad was trying so hard to hold the bucket without losing it himself, Tara gently tapped dad on the shoulder and offered to hold the bucket for mom so he could rub her back instead. When this first time mom and dad were feeling overwhelmed with some decisions, she talked us through each step and provided comfort in place of fear or anxiety. When it came time for that first bonding and nursing moment, she was the one that helped with the first latch. She was there during some of the most personal and precious moments of our life and we are so grateful that she was our guide and impromtu photographer! Thank you, Tara!
