Testimonial for Tami Jervis
Tami is an absolute joy! She is knowledgeable, patient, encouraging, and a great advocate. I have high risk pregnancies that require induction a week early. After experiencing a negative side effect to an epidural with my 3rd birth I chose not to have an epidural with my 4th, but was unable to find a lot of support to help prepare me for a Petocin induction without an epidural. Thankfully things went smoothly, but when I was expecting my 5th baby, I knew I needed to find a doula to support me through the birth. I was so grateful a friend referred Tami to me! It was very important to me to find someone that was comfortable in a hospital setting. Tami and my first nurse worked so well together providing me with information and options as baby and I progressed. When decisions needed to be made, Tami helped ground me with facts, and cleared the room so my husband and I could make the choice that felt best to us. Once we made a decision Tami supported us completely. When I was in transition, completely focused, and unable to really talk, Tami knew exactly what I needed. She always gave my husband the chance to assist (when he felt comfortable). During that last part of the birth there was a bad call made by the second nurse and Tami handled that situation so well, respectful but assertive (when it was absolutely necessary). Births are unpredictable, and with some of my past births I looked back with a lot of "what if's" or regret for not asking more questions or being a better advocate for myself. Even though things didn't go exactly as I expected or planned, months later I still feel so confident that I made the best choices along the way this time. I cannot adequately express how invaluable Tami was and I am forever grateful she was there to walk with us through our pregnancy and birth.
