Tamara was a wonderful doula! We had the pleasure of having her support us throughout the pregnancy, labor & delivery, and postpartum. During the pregnancy, she helped us build our birthing plan, research treatments for my diagnosis of gestational diabetes, and prepare and transition into a family of 5.

Decisions in Labor
Nurses and doctors are in out. Cords are all over the place keeping an eye on you and baby making their sounds. Lots of questions are occuring and decisions need to be during various parts of your labor. Sometimes all of this can be a little overwhelming and you are not sure what to do.

Bereavement Doula
Last year, I spent the weekend in northern Ohio at a training workshop. The training was not something that I wanted to do, as I knew it would be highly emotional. But I knew it was something that I HAD to do. Birth is not routine, every birth is different and not all births have the outcome that any one wants. The seminar was a training on how to be a Bereavement Doula. A doula for families dealing with the loss, whether unexpected or planned, or their baby.
