I really enjoyed Tara's lighthearted point of view and bubbly attitude. All these things helped me to stay positive. I lover her spirit. It was like having one of my close friends around to joke about whatever was going on in the room.  Humor can be the best medicine :)

All the information given at the prenatal meetings and the Doula Handbook allowed great education. The hip squeeze and back massage helped during labor as was Tara and my husband telling me I could do it. Labor was 10x better that I could have imagined. I felt empowered!

Tara's support and quiet demeaner during labor was a tremendous help. She knew exactly what type of encouragement I needed;when to be vocally supportive and when to just be a reassuring presence. Having another person to "share" the responsibility with my husband took tremendous pressure off him.

I don't think there was one way in which Tara was more helpful, other than her presence. I found just having her there very reassuring and comforting. She was upbeat throughout, and helped me stay focused and calm, even when I thought I would lose it. I really enjoyed her sense of humor throughout the process and her absolute dedication to making the experience one I feel really good about. Tara was truely amazing
