Testimonial for Tammy Knox Sandel
I worried about a lot of things during my second pregnancy including a repeat case of pre-eclampisa, another involuntary c-section and another early birth taking me by surprise. I met Tammy only about two weeks from my due date at a doula party where I was the model for a belly casting. I felt such a uniquely strong connection with Tammy that my husband and I decided to hire her as our doula that same evening. She came highly recommended by many close friends and my local mom's group. I even had one friend tell me she would consider flying Tammy down to Florida for her next birth. Tammy made the whole experience very memorable and wonderful. Tammy responded very quickly to my 3am phone call the morning I went into labor. She was not only postive and energetic at that early hour, but genuinely excited and enthusiatic throughout the experience. She loves her life's work as a doula and it truly shows. I could go on forever about how special Tammy made the experience, but here are some of the highlights. Tammy helped sooth me as I labored on my porch swing while my husband ran around the house letting the dog out, calming our upset toddler (who was tired at 3am and very worried about her mommy) and collecting my belongings for the hospital. If you think your partner can be in three places at once, consider the last minute madness that is the departure from the house. Pretty much the reoccuring theme of the day was that while either my husband or Tammy were running around alerted nurses of my needs, retrieving more ice chips, providing updates to the family in the waiting area, the other one was able to stay with me. I did not want to be left alone during what was the most intense and wonderful experience I've ever been through. Tammy is worth every penny she charges- you truly can't put a price on a beautiful delivery.
