Testimonial for Tia Dowling-Ketant, CD, CLC
We are so grateful to have had Tia as our post-partum doula. As first-time parents, we had no idea what to expect when we got home from the hospital with our baby. Fortunately, from the first week of our child’s life, Tia was there to guide us. She taught us so much about taking care of a newborn, from setting up our changing station to using a breast pump. Just as importantly, Tia showed us how to take care of ourselves as new parents. She encouraged us to practice self-care during her visits (even if it was just showering, having a cup of tea and taking a walk), and she imparted helpful wisdom such as having snacks for mom for middle of the night feedings.
As our baby got older, Tia helped instill us with the confidence to take our baby outside on errands, to the doctor and even to restaurants. More importantly, Tia was a source of critical support for our emotional wellbeing and an advocate for being not only good parents but also good to ourselves and each other.
Tia is an advocate for you, not just your baby. The more time I spent with her, the more I enjoyed our conversations and her outlook on life. Tia is the kind of empowered woman that you are lucky to have in your corner as a new parent.
When we first met Tia, she said she would know when we would no longer need her and could “spread our wings” ourselves. By the time Tia was finished in her role as our post-partum doula, we had the confidence to take care of our baby and the wisdom to take care of ourselves.
