WHAT MOTHERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT TAFFY... "My husband and I couldn't be more happy that we chose Taffy to be our doula! She is simply awesome...a God send! She was so attentive to my every need, tirelessly massaging my back and supporting me emotionally throughout the very long labor process. She is definitely professional and excellent at what she does. She helped me figure out what worked best for me and did everything she could to make me feel more comfortable. I can't imagine what it would have been like without her! I recommend Taffy as a doula to every woman preparing to give birth - whether it's your first child or your tenth! Taffy is a beautiful person and she undoubtedly made our whole birth experience so special. "
"The birth of our second daughter, Elianna, was an amazing experience in which Taffy played an incredible role! I went into this pregnancy knowing I wanted a different birth experience this time around, but not quite knowing how to achieve that. After my first meeting with Taffy, I had a much better sense of what I wanted to do differently this time and the information that she recommended helped me prepare mentally for a different experience. When the time came, I felt excited and confident instead of anxious and afraid. Taffy's massage and coping techniques really helped ease my back labor and she was so good at helping my husband help me. She knew when to step in with support and when to step back to let my husband and I share the moment, priceless. Her constant words of encouragement and support helped get me though the toughest contractions and knowing she was committed to my wishes really made me feel like I had my own advocate. Thanks to Taffy, and a lot of prayer, I was able to have the empowering birth experience I wanted in a hospital setting."

"Taffy is an amazing doula. As first time parents, my husband and I were nervous about the
whole birth experience. Taffy was a great comfort. A few weeks before the birth, she came
over and talked with us about some of our concerns. She also did a great job of educating
us on what the stages of labor will be like. She and my husband teamed up during my 23
hours of labor to support me. What an amazing woman! She was comforting, massaging and
encouraging me the whole time. I recently asked my husband if he thought he could handle
the birth of our next child without the help of a doula. He quickly replied, 'Oh no!
We need Taffy!' Thank you, Taffy!!!"

We feel so blessed by the support you gave us that day and we know that our experience would not have been the same without you. Thank you so much for everything you did for us that day. We truly hope you will continue to be a doula, you really have a gift, and we want you back for our next baby!! Taffy, you are such a beautiful person and we are so grateful for you."
Love and thanks,
