“She was very encouraging throughout and it really helped me relax, which lessened the pain of giving birth. Because she wasn’t emotionally involved with the birthing process, she brought a serenity with her into the hospital which I hadn’t experienced with the birth of my first child. I would recommend Tara to anyone who is pregnant and if we have another baby we will be asking her to be our doula again.”

"Tara’s support and knowledge removed a lot of the anxiety and worries that I initially felt, allowing me to enjoy my pregnancy. Her presence and encouragement during my labour made it stress free, which I am sure contributed to my straight-forward and natural birth."
Lin, London
“She stood by me during the whole process providing the necessarysupport, guidance and encouragement. She was amazing!”
Grace, Berkshire
"From a dad’s perspective, having Tara as our doula during the birth gave me massive emotional support and made me a better birth partner through feeling confident that there was someone there who was not only experienced, but more importantly knew us, and how best to reassure and support us. I think, without Tara being there, I would have found the labour intimidating and overwhelming, and would have been less able to focus on my wife’s needs. Tara’s care and calming influence was invaluable."
Ian, Middlesex
Our twin girls were 8 weeks premature and Tara's support and help for 5 months after they came home in March was invaluable. She was very caring and offered me the emotional support I needed as a new mum in the early months. She was confident and trustworthy and her advice regarding various matters was much appreciated. She would often research certain things for me in her own time and e-mail or discuss the information with me. I am so grateful to Tara for everything she has done for us. We were so lucky to have found her.

"Tara was there for us leading up to and throughout the birth of our son. A key part of the experience was Tara’s kind encouragements and she helped enrich the whole experience. She was there to keep me and my husband calm and ultimately was a very welcome part of the birth of our lovely son."
Vikki, Surrey
"Tara was incredible: her knowledge, expertise and calm manner enabled me to address and overcome my fears. In the end I had a natural, drug free, uncomplicated labour, free from pain and fear, something which was all-important to me. I feel that to a large extent this was made possible by the good preparation I had completed with Tara beforehand. In the weeks after the birth Tara continued to exceed all my expectations. I don’t think I could have continued to breastfeed successfully without Tara’s input, and my baby would not have been so happy and healthy. Throughout, Tara worked patiently and tirelessly with the baby, my partner and me. Tara is energetic, enthusiastic, dedicated, passionate and caring. Oh- and she has a wonderful sense of humour too, especially in difficult situations. I am truly grateful to have found Tara- she is a superb doula and exceptional person (not to mention an amazing mother herself). I cannot recommend Tara highly enough."Siobhan, London
"Having Tara there just made everything so much easier on my husband. Tara simplified medical terms and jargon, ensured I had everything I needed and it meant my hubby could simply be there for me - another thing I NEEDED during labour!"
Louise, Berkshire
“Tara helped a new and somewhat nervous mum to gain confidence in how to deal with her premature bundle by helping me to care for him in a safe environment. I will certainly be booking Tara for baby number two and would highly recommend her to any mum/family.”
Helen, Berkshire
"Tara became an essential part of my labour and birth. She was instrumental in helping me navigate through labour, especially when things became complicated. Tara was great at respecting my wishes."
Stephanie, Berkshire
"Thank you so much Tara for all of the totally amazing support and comfort that you gave during our labour and birth process, we feel truly very lucky to have had you as a part of this moment in our lives. You were a true professional yet caring and compassionate throughout. I don't think I would have found my labour such a positive experience had you not been a part of it. We will definitely be in touch when we are expecting our second!"Claire, Middlesex
