Testimonial for Tara Withey
I met Tara at a booth she had set up about doulas. I had no idea what a doula even was. We got to talking about what she did and the services she provided. She was very friendly, informative, and added in "but what you do is up to you, it's your decision"
After taking child birth classes with Tara, we hired her as our doula. Not only did we gain wisdom from her, during the class, but also during our pre-natal visit. She was able to help us come up with a birth plan and gave us different suggestions on things we could do even if we didn't know. Everything from coping methods during contractions, birthing posistions, even if you wanted the lights on or dim during the whole experience. She didn't push one way or another, just encouraged us to make a decision that we would be happy with.
Tara met us at the hospital. Not only did she help me, but my husband keep calm as well. I ended up getting an epidural, due to the amount of uncomfort I was experiencing. She stayed there the whole time, even though she didn't have as much of an active role once the epidural kicked in. She was then able to help go over things with my husband on how to help during the birth of our child.
During our post-natal visit we went over everything that had happened. And how things were going, adjusting to life with a new baby. She was able to answer questions and give advice. We loved having her and would highly reccomed her to anyone considering a doula.
