Testimonial for Tatiana Ponomar
The best experience I could have ever had! Tatiana is incredible! Being a doula is her true calling. I and my husband had a few meetings with Tatiana during my pregnancy. She was always in touch if there were any questions. When the labor started, I felt pretty confident. However, I did not expect that the whole process would last 28 hours. It was difficult and without Tatiana I can't imagine how I would have coped. Tatiana did not leave my side for a minute all this time, constantly doing things to ease the pain and calm my mind. She did massage, recommended different poses, fed me, helped to communicate with doctors, etc. Tatiana knew what I needed without any words. She is very supportive and attentive, and she adjusts to the mood and needs of a woman in labor. When the baby was born, Tatiana spent about two more hours with us helping with breastfeeding, answering my questions, and sharing with us the joy of the moment. During these 30 hours, my doula has become a close person to me. There were no feelings that she was simply doing her job. It seemed like a dear friend took care of you during such an important moment in your life. At the same time, everything that Tatiana did was very professional. I trusted her completely, followed her advice, and it was the right decision. Not everything went as I planned during labor, but thanks to Tatiana I have only positive memories of the process. After giving birth, Tatiana came to our house to visit us and the baby. It was very valuable because the first days of being new parents are full of uncertainty and fears. Tatiana helped us to cope with these issues. My husband, who was also present at the birth and was very worried about me, is very grateful to Tatiana for everything she did for us. My experience would not have been so positive without Tatiana! I'm happy I chose her!
