“What would we have done without you! Tamar was such an integral part of the birth of our second baby, who was born at home in a pool, despite being breech! From planning and supporting our discussions around birth choices to creating our birth plan, supporting meetings with healthcare professionals, and ensuring the birth was everything we wanted it to be, then following up with glorious postnatal visits and check ins, all with an utterly calm, non judgemental and wise presence that made us feel completely safe and confident, no matter how things had turned out. Tamar was completely dedicated and committed to us as a doula and we would want her there for any future births! Thank you for everything.”
