My physical and mental health during my first trimester was the worse it’s ever been. I felt as though nobody understood what I was going through. After feeling hopeless that things will get better, I began looking into Black doulas located in NYC. I was then recommended to Tata by another young mom. After I had my consultation with Tata I knew she was the one. I went with my gut feeling and I knew this is who I needed in my corner and I wasn’t wrong. Preparing for labor is like the olympics especially for a first time mama, but with the help of Tata I felt super prepared. From day 1 she gave me all the information I could ever need. The book recommendations were amazing and has taught me so much. The journal that was recommended was also amazing because it helped me self reflect and look within and whenever I would go through my mood swings, the journal was perfect! Tata also made sure I was in attendance at almost every childbirth, and breastfeeding class. She literally didn’t miss a beat! I was able to learn so much and this better prepared me for labor. Throughout this whole process, Tata was my google. She answered every question I asked, which I truly appreciated. My favorite thing about our journey together was the yoga on the weekends, this was a great way for me to unwind and release any tension or negative energy in my body. I was able to center myself which helped me mentally and allowed for a stronger connection with baby Ryder. Hiring Tata was one of my greatest investments!! To have the support and advocacy from another Black women was something that I wanted and received throughout my pregnancy journey. I wouldn’t trade my experience for anything! Love, Brittany + Ryder
