Testimonial for Tammy Knox Sandel
living in california, i spoke to my dear long-time friend tammy about how i had all of the medical and intellectual support that i needed before giving birth to my second child, but that i was missing that beautiful emotional connection i had before bearing my first son. this was due in part to the fact that the first time around i had taken so many classes, including prenatal yoga, that had readied my mind, body and spirit. now, with a very active preschooler, getting into the right emotional space was tough. i asked tammy to be my LDD - Long Distance Doula. she took on the challenge with her signature energy, humor, creativity and grace. she sent me recipes, gifts for my firstborn, music mixes, birthing affirmations (my favorite "i am relaxed and free of fear"), a birthing ball, pregnancy tea and so much more to nourish every part of me. this woman is thoughtful and loving-- using her giant brain and giant heart to make you feel special and cared for. sometimes she'd just call me and leave a message like, "hey i'm just thinking of you, wishing i could cook for you tonight and rub your feet." has your husband ever said this to you? mine neither. : ) invite tammy into your birthing experience. you're worth it... and the beautiful memories will last a lifetime.
