Testimonial for Tammy Knox Sandel
Tammy was our doula for the birth of our first child. We met her through her natural child birth classes and enjoyed her so much we asked her to be present at our birth. We had a water birth at home with a midwife, her assistant, and Tammy as our doula. During labor Tammy was very supportive with encouraging comments, rubbing my back, putting on calm music, or just being there for me and my husband. She and my husband would count up to 30 and then back down to 1 during my contractions and I found that it gave me something to think about and remind me that the contraction would eventually stop. My husband loved having her there. He and Tammy worked together to help me with my contractions. She provided me with water and laborade during labor, but also gave him food and water when he needed it too. She was literally willing to do anything to help! After the birth she stayed for a few hours to help clean up, take care of me, and spend time with us. The days and weeks following the birth she would call and email to keep in touch as well as stopping by for several visits. She was always available if I had a concern or a question. I cannot say enough positive things about Tammy and how we loved working with her. We had a wonderful birthing experience and no question that Tammy's presence was a part of that!
