Testimonials

  • Tania is absolutely Wonderful! She went above and beyond to help us out and support us with the birth of our first baby. In the months leading up to the birth, she helped us prepare and learn… and more importantly, she helped us deal with past trauma (me) and anxiety (my partner). He went from being terrified of labour, to being super confident, comfortable and active throughout. During labour I felt supported by Tania every second of it and she advocated for me when I didn’t know how to do it myself. The staff wanted to put an internal fetal monitorin my baby’s head to measure his heartbeat, which was something that me and my partner were not comfortable with. With her quick thinking, Tania suggested to the hospital staff that I’d try a different position to see if the wireless monitor would pick up his heartbeat better. Tania helped us make difficult decisions during labour and her knowledge and experience were truly invaluable. She helped me change positions to make it easier for my baby to move down, she gave me the courage and strength I needed in the most difficult times. She kept me hydrated and as comfortable as possible. For the postpartum she was also my rock, giving me advice on how to deal. I can’t thank her enough for all that she did. She will forever be special to our family. I recommend her to everyone I know.

  • Tania is an intuitive, warm and dedicated doula who will help you clarify your birthing wants and needs, and fight for them! With all her knowledge and passion for Birth - you definitely want her on your side! She’s a wonderful human and as a plus, an incredible photographer as well. If you’re looking for a doula, I can’t think of anyone better.

  • I met Tania just two or three months before my due date. Boy, was I lucky she was available to work with us! She is kind, intuitive, experienced, a fantastic advocate, and really one of the best persons I have ever worked with to help me tune into my strengths. She helped guide me with meditation and draw a path with further support to help me prepare for a different, more positive birth than my first. She had a 360 approach and this included post natal visits and check ins. Anyone working with Tania is so very lucky and will be in warm, caring hands.

  • In our first birth, we had a less great experience with the Dutch midwife, we felt very unsuported during birth and not guided at all, so the second time around my husband and I decided to serach for a Doula that could be there for us. We first came into contact with Tania through a friend. The first time I met her I felt as if I had a close aunt with me, if felt familiar and safe. Tania was an active listener, provided information, guided us in this journey and truly came through by supporting my fear and trauma of birth, she gave me the tools to see this second birth as a totally new experience that could lead to a positive birth. We didn't even knew the first birth had left this scar in us, as we dealt with the pain it had caused before. Through hypnotherapy, long talks and home exercises (including meditation, thinking what a positive birth meant to me and how I could achieve it, relaxation techniques...) it prepared us for an amazing experience and for that we will never be able to thank Tania enough. Not only I felt supported, i truly felt in control, empowered and blessed. we will forever cherish in our hearts. After the birth she continued to be supportive and until this day we keep in contact. Thank you Tania for everything, you became part of our family and one of the best decisions we have made ever. Highly recommend!

  • I feel so blessed that I found Tania as a doula. She is The Best ❤️ I wish all the Mamas to have her as their Doula. Her knowledge and sense of your needs is fabulous. Without her support I really don't know how I would do it all. I gave birth 1 year ago but all the memories are still in my mind (and heart) every single day and I am so soo grateful that Tania was my Doula. She is magical. Her knowledge and passion about birth we felt it at our first meeting. We clicked immediately and I loved all of the sessions we had. We discussed all the details, all the wishes, ideas, fears. She gave me all the answers that I needed. I felt safer with her than with the midwives. Her care doesn't end with the birth She was also next to me after the delivery and helped me a lot to deal with my feelings.

  • I find it hard to imagine how my first birth would have gone without Tania’s support and reassuring presence. From the moment we got to the hospital to when our baby was born, 22 hours later! Tania made every effort to ensure that I felt confident, calm and strong. There is absolutely nothing that I could think of that Tania did not do throughout the labor process. In preparation for the birth, Tania provided my partner and I with a wealth of information and insights about all stages before and after pregnancy - we were well prepared due to Tania’s guidance. Tania approaches each pregnancy uniquely, and caters to your individual needs and it absolutely felt this way every time we met. Tania also helped me work through my post-birth trauma, which was an essential part to naturally transition to the next phase thus allowing me to have a proper and healthy closure. She is a person who has become my therapist, adviser, friend and part of our family.

  • Having a doula to guide me through my first pregnancy was something that I long thought of. I felt it was a total must for meas I was having a child in Spain(whihc is not my homecountry), so I was very confused about all the medical system here regarding child birth. Having someone who you can trust with all the questions which are circling in your headin this vulnerable time, is the best thing I chose for myself. And I am so thankful I found Tania for that. Not only did she support me throughout my pregnancy with multiple face to face meetings and vedeocalls/messages; she also was there to help me through labor and welcomed our child together with us in the hospital of Quiron. Her wisdon, dedication and maturity in this field is absolutely amazing. She gave me calmness when I needed the most. She helpedd me through the most unimaginable intense moments in labor with different pain management mechanisms. She tried her best to lead the way to a natural birth, which we had planned together. And also I got a strong support from her after post-partum. An amazing woman, an amazing mentor, an amazing doula! Highly recommend her!
