As first-time parents, we were SO grateful to have Tara as our doula, supporting us throughout our son's birth! I had premature rupture of membranes (PROM) more than a week before our expected due date but she was there to help support me and my husband throughout. Not only was she supportive during the birth but she also took time to get to know us and our preferences for an unmedicated hospital birth while giving us some helpful tips on what to do leading up to birth. I wouldn't have been able to labor at home for so long before going to the hospital and ultimately have an unmedicated birth without her gentle coaching and guidance. When we arrived at the hospital, it was such a blessing to have her in my ear encouraging me through each contraction. She was attentive and soothing even immediately postpartum during the various exams. Her sensitive approach to communicating with the hospital staff was an aspect of her care that I really appreciated as well. Altogether, Tara was such a calming positive presence in all our interactions from the prenatal meetings to labor and delivery to the postnatal visit. I truly felt empowered and respected in my role as the mother giving birth.
