"You made the birth of Maksim a wonderful and beautiful experience! Thanks for helping us through it!"     Desiree      "Thank you very much! Because of you, we had a wonderful birth experience. I do remember every minute of it and I won't forget it."     Mika      "Thank you so much for being our doula! You were sucha  blessing to us. It was so great to have your support and encouragement as well as your knowledge and expertise about the options we had. You really played a large role in making our perception of Emily's entrance into the world a positive one."     Angela      “Tara’s presence before, during and after the birth of my third son made an incredible difference…During the delivery, Tara was very supportive of every decision I made and worked well with my obstetrician…Because she was there to tend to my needs, my husband was able to relax and actually enjoy the miracle of birth. Out of the three births I have experienced, Tara’s presence made the last on the most peaceful by far.”   Karen       I'll always be grateful for Tara's support at the birth of my third child, Charley. She knew just what to offer be it a cold cloth, massage, water, or a prayer. As I was going through labor I didn't know what I wanted, but Tara knew just what might make me feel more at ease. She took walks with me and helped me change into more comfortable positions. She respected my choices and gave good advice when I didn't know what to do. Her presence helped me relax. She encouraged me through the pain and gave me positive feedback when I needed to know how labor was going. She reminded me I had given birth before and could do it again. The time Tara spent with me allowed my husband to take breaks to check on our other children. She enjoyed with us a new little life coming into the world and I'm so thankful she was there. I'll forever treasure our friendship that all started through this pregnancy and birthing experience!     Jana      When I became pregnant with my second son, Tara told me she would be happy to assist me in the birthing process, as she was a doula. I was hesitant to accept her help at first, but decided to, and discovered that her presence was paramount. She seemed to be very connected to the whole experience, as if she knew exactly what to do or not to do, when to talk, and what was helpful. I was elated to give birth without the use of any pain medication. I can honestly say my labor was an experience I look back on with wonderful thoughts. It was painful, but Tara's help made it a positive experience for me and my husband.   Dianna            Thanks so much for being 1/3 of the "team" that got us through the real work of such a long labour. We couldn't have asked for a better match than you and we thank-you for more work and effort than I could have imagined before we started this journey.         Dave

"Thank you for helping my mommy bring me naturally into this world. She says she couldn't have done it without you!"   xoxo Baby Danica      "Tara, thank you so much for all your support before, during and after labour. I loved our chats before birth, you somehow always left me with the feeling that 'yes, I can do this', and during labour, though I'm sure I never said it, your calming words and relaxation techniques were MUCH appreciated."     Courtney      "Words can't express our gratitude for all your support, encouragement, and advice. We couldn't have done it without you! Or maybe we could have, but it would not have been such an amazing 100% experience. You have an amazing gift and understanding, which we are so thankful you're using how you are! Victoria      “As a nurse, I felt that I was well educated with the medical aspect of birth but I was eager to see how Tara could help me cope with the pain during labour…Tara helped me to find a rhythm through each contraction which enabled my body to do what it needed to do…Her calming presence and constant encouragement helped me believe I could make it through each contraction, even when it felt impossible…Without her, I don’t know that I could have made it without medication.”    Tannis      Words cannot even begin to express how thankful we are for everything that you have done. We are so grateful that you were able to share in the birth of our first child. Your continual support, encouraging words and relaxation techniques gave me the strength to continue. i never would have made it that far into the labor without you. We are amazed at your dedication and the level of comfort that you provide.     Crystal      Thank you so much for helping me prepare for the birth of Alexis. You educated me on things I didn't know I could control at the birth. Thank-you for your hands at exactly the time, place, and pressure I needed!     Bethany      We could never thank you enough for supporting us through our preganncy and birth. We could not have made it through to the end without you! Your genuine care and concern for our well-being did not go unnoticed and we will be forever grateful to you! Thank you also to your husband and kids who allow you to have the flexibility to be so supportive to other families such as ours.     Wendy          "Thank-you" just doesn't cover it - because you are a friend and a spirit who has truly helped shape me into "mommy"; I can only tell you that my journey was impacted by your wisdom, patience and unbelievably great hands-on (massage, pressure, encouragement, support) experience. You are invaluable and such a sweetie!  Krista When I became pregnant with my third child, I was very excited but also very scared due to my 2 previous traumatic birth experiences. Tara helped create a calm and nurturing environment and made the experience truly beautiful.  However, her time before the birth when she came to my house and just listened and educated me was the most invaluable. I went into the birth feeling confident, empowered and knowledgeable. I expressed my wishes to the nursing staff and felt more listened to and that I was in control.  I am forever grateful for her being a part of my birthing experience. Pam
