Testimonial for Tara Martinsen

We hired Tara when I was 36 weeks along. I hadn't allowed myself to think about investing in a doula until my 3rd trimester. Meeting Tara, she immediately calmed a lot of the fears I had about having an unmedicated birth. She gave me confidence to move forward with it and also switch to a better hospital and midwife situation. I really needed her support and all of the help she gave me finding who and where to switch to.
Meeting with her, she was able to show my husband and I some counter-pressure and other techniques for labor. She had a few trips already planned, but we decided to move forward and have another doula on call in case she couldn't come. We ended up having and unintentional home birth the day she was headed back. The counter pressure she had taught us was extremely helpful when I transitioned very quickly. She stayed in contact the whole time and continued to make sure we had all of the help we needed after. She is not only a great support, but a wealth of knowledge about all of the workings that were involved with labor. She came for a postpartum visit after with the doula that helped during our labor, and it was so special to have her here. I'd highly recommend her to anyone!
