“When my husband and I met Thabata, her warm, professional, and passionate personality made us want to choose her as our doula right away. We could not have made a better choice in working with her. Our labor ended with a healthy baby boy and a healthy mom, for which we are so grateful. During our prenatal and postpartum visits, I always felt comfortable and valued with Thabata - she is very present, warm, and extremely knowledgeable. I felt like she really understood what my vision for my birth was, and she treated my whole family with love and respect. Throughout my labor, my family were by my side to coach me through contractions, but when they were distracted by the nursing staff or fatigue, Thabata was always right there to fill in the gaps that they could not see. She saw my needs without requiring me to find the strength to communicate them. She had an amazing ability to find ways of helping me cope with the extremely painful contractions I was feeling as well as to advocate my needs and wants to a hospital staff who were not used to patients wanting an epidural free delivery.  During and after labor itself, she was a source of endless comfort and steadiness for both my husband and me. Because of all our preparation with Thabata, we were able to have the birth of our dreams. Thabata was a key member of our labor team, and my husband and I will be forever grateful that she was present at our son’s birth. We highly, highly recommend her.” Isabela & John

“Thabata was the first Doula we interviewed, and we felt no need to search further. My husband and I immediately felt at home with her and excited to share such a special moment in our lives with her at our sides. Our experience with Thabata was absolutely amazing. Thabata was super knowledgeable and personable. Thabata met with my husband and I a few times while I was pregnant and came to our home for the birth class. In each meeting, Thabata provided really important information that was easy for us to understand. We learned positions that helped me to ease the pain during labor, breastfeeding tips, and more importantly, some breathing exercises that were essential for me to get through my 30-hour labor process and drug intervention-free. As first time parents, Thabata helped us understand some medical terms and what the hospital process would be like. By the time we were going into labor, we felt so much more prepared and equipped to make the right choices to have the birthing experience we dreamed of. From my experience, more important than having a Doula during your labor process is to have one early on in your pregnancy. That will help you build the trust and confidence you need. Thabata will help you get the knowledge you need to make wise choices. She will empower you, believe in you, and literally hold your hand and be by your side respecting your wishes. THANK YOU for being there for me, my husband, and our family. THANK YOU for believing in me and to help me meet my son in the most beautiful and respectful way. Garrick and I are forever thankful!” Rosana & Garrick

I was lucky enough to meet Ludmila and Thabata at the end of my pregnancy when I was looking for my Doula. I’m happy I followed my instincts and chose them to guide and help me in such a memorable time of my life. I can’t thank them enough for what they did for me and my family: I found in them deeply caring, knowledgeable and oh so generous (in every possible way!) women. They are both reliable and followed my delivery with care and respect, giving me and my husband not only valuable information and tools but also allowing a respectful distance when we needed to bond as a couple or family. Exactly what I needed and was looking for! I feel like I have met not only the best Doulas but also true friends that I’ll stay in touch with! Thank you so much Thabata & Ludmila! Shirriana & Arthur
