Testimonial for Taryn Bennett

*Prefacing my review by saying that I read through most if not all of Taryn’s reviews here on Google and on DoulaMatch.net and I 1000000% agree with every single word the other women have written about her. There’s honestly not enough words to describe how wonderful of a doula and person she is, but below is my “short” summary of my experience with her :) *

I chose to hire a doula for my second birth as I was very passionate to have a vbac (vaginal birth after cesarean). Research has shown that having a skilled doula can lower your chances of having a c-section in general and this was hugely important to me so I could be as fully functional as I could after delivery to be with my toddler too.

As I started to find doulas that could support me in this journey, I found Taryn, and it turns out she was a God-send. I mostly searched for a doula with vbac experience but to unexpectedly find one that was also a Christian was exactly what I needed.

She is highly knowledgeable about physiological birth and current hospital practices and she uses her vast birthing experience to support moms. Taryn worked well with my midwife team. When labour needed to progress a little more, Taryn was proactive in getting me into positions that would do so. She exudes confidence and calmness and provides a sense of peace in the birth room. Taryn ensured that everyone in the room knew and honoured my birth preferences as best as possible. She supported me even when I deviated from my birth plan and she made me feel empowered and confident to make those decisions for myself because she educated me and answered every single one of my questions.

If I could be pregnant all the time I would, just so I would get to work with Taryn as my doula! People talk about “labour must-haves” or “pregnancy must-haves”, and Taryn as your doula is at the top of that list for me!
