Testimonial for Tamra Mabanag PCD(DONA), PMH-C
We absolutely love Tamra! I cannot even begin to describe how wonderful, passionate, caring and knowledgeable she is!
We were extremely apprehensive about hiring any Doula (Covid-19) but she was kind enough to let us know that she respects any decision we make and will not charge even a single penny if we decide to cancel her services (no penalties). She also advised us to wait until it's time and take the decision when the baby arrives and how we feel about it. She went over all the details (tiniest tidbits) about how careful she would be if we decide to hire her. And I am so glad to mention that we held off our decision till the baby arrived and finally decided to hire her.
Tamra was my support system in the first two weeks! She took care of the baby, and let me and my husband catch on our sleep (oh yes, there will be sleepless nights the first two days for sure and that can really put you in depression). I was on the verge of breaking down, but Tamra really helped me get through my postpartum phase. She taught me coping strategies.
I struggled a lot with breastfeeding and she provided a lot of good information pertaining that. She also doesnt shy away from telling you what she knows vs what she does not know. Anything she doesnt know, she goes out of her way to get the right help and also keeps herself abreast with new info.
What i really liked about Tamra that she is extremely observant. Based on how you handle baby in front of her, she will tell you the possible problems you will face in the future. For instance, based on how i fed my baby she had warned me about mom's wrist problem. At the time, i did not pay attention but now i am paying the price for the same. I was diagnosed with Tendonitis a month back.
I can proudly say that she is part of my family now!
PS-Her cookies are to die for!
