Testimonial for Tia Dowling-Ketant, CD, CLC
When my husband and I were first introduced to Tia for the birth of our second daughter, we were so impressed with how courteous, professional, and attentive she was about the success of our birth plan. She graciously took us on from the referral of our family friend/first doula who wanted to place us in good hands. I knew that she was truly a thorough doula when we had one of our initial meetings and we were visualizing our ideal birth experience by drawing it on paper. Tia truly went above and beyond. She made the labor experience a comforting one. From the time that we spent in our home, calming me down, showing my husband and I techniques to managing the pain, she nailed down the timing of how many centimeters dilated I was by the time I arrived at my hospital to give birth. She was never intimidating, but was serene, calm, and made us laugh. She even accompanied me to my OB-GYN just ensure that the labor was in fact taking place. During the actual delivery process, Tia coached me through breathing, visualizing calm things, and instructed me with patience about pushing.
Tia was also showed care to us during the postpartum process when she came to our home to make sure we were transitioning well back home as well as providing lactation techniques for breastfeeding the baby.
Tia, you were OUTSTANDING. You will be guided by a nurturing doula and truly an emotional advocate to ensure a very safe birth experience.
