Testimonial for Tammy Knox Sandel
We met Tammy in our natural childbirth class. We felt an immediate connection with her and knew that we wanted her to be our doula. Tammy is one of the most caring and loving people I have ever met. She can look deep into your heart, anticipate fears and concerns, and support you in every way a person needs to be supported. Tammy is very knowledgeable about all aspects of the childbirth process and helped to educate and prepare us, not only for the process of childbirth itself but also during the prenatal and postpartum time. Before our son was born, Tammy shared our excitement and anticipation and it was fun to update her on our progress. She always had helpful tips for how to take care of myself both physically and mentally. Tammy was ready for all twists and turns associated with the childbirth process. She has amazing energy and yet can stay calm and focused. I really appreciated Tammy’s support during my labor. My “natural” childbirth experience didn’t go quite as planned (I ended up needing a C-section). But all through the process Tammy remained hopeful and encouraging; she provided options for laboring positions, and helped me accept the process as it unfolded. She also helped me sort out my emotions and thoughts about the birth during the postpartum time and has remained a supportive and understanding friend. I always felt very comfortable with Tammy and never embarrassed or hesitant to open up to her. Tammy’s skills and calm and loving nature make her the ideal doula and we are eternally grateful for her support.
