Testimonial for Tammy Knox Sandel
From the moment we met Tammy Sandal, we instantly felt comfortable, like we had found not just a doula but a trusted friend and advisor. Her calm, kind demeanor immediately put us at ease, and we knew we were in the best hands for this transformative journey.
Throughout the entire experience, Tammy was so encouraging and supportive. She worked closely with us ahead of the birth, making sure we understood all our options and felt prepared for labor, birth, and breastfeeding. Her unwavering support during the pregnancy was invaluable, and when the big day arrived, she overcame logistical challenges to get to the hospital and stayed by our side for 15 long hours of labor and delivery.
Tammy’s support during labor was an anchor for me. She was there for every moment, helping me with position changes, providing counter pressure during each contraction, offering encouraging words, and making sure I stayed nourished with snacks and sips of water. Her presence was exactly what I needed to get through each phase of labor.
When my natural birth plan had to pivot to an epidural and forceps delivery, Tammy was incredibly grounding. When the time to make that decision came, I was so exhausted and the fatigue seemed to impeed my ability to make a clear decision. She talked me through options, reminded me how strong I was, how far we had come, and reassured me that the most important thing was getting our baby girl here safely and held space for me while I processed through this change in my vision for birth.
Tammy’s care extended even after the birth—she took the time to check in on our home while we were at the hospital, ensuring everything was ready for us to return to a calm and peaceful space. Her thoughtfulness and dedication were truly remarkable. I can't recommend Tammy enough to any expectant parents—she was everything we needed as we ventured into the world of parenthood!
