Client Love

  • "From the moment I met Tessa, I knew I was in capable and caring hands. Tessa brought an unparalleled level of expertise. Her knowledge of childbirth was evident in my initial consultation. I felt informed and empowered every step of the way. What truly set Tessa apart was her unwavering support and compassion. Her warm, calming presence during labor helped me stay focused and grounded, making the experience far more manageable than I ever imagined.

    During labor, Tessa anticipated my needs before I knew them myself, providing comfort measures and guidance. Thanks to her support, I was able to have the birth I had hoped for, free from fear and anxiety. Even after the birth, Tessa continued to provide invaluable support. She checked in on me regularly. Her guidance was instrumental in helping me establish a strong bond with my baby and navigate the early days with confidence.

    Tessa is not just a doula; she is a trusted ally, a compassionate friend, and a true advocate for mothers everywhere. If you are looking for someone to support you through pregnancy, childbirth, and beyond, I couldn't recommend her enough!

Tessa is a shining star I will be eternally grateful for her presence in the most monumental day of my life thus far! Tessa your efforts at my labor mean the world to me”

  • "Tessa is truly one of a kind and we feel so fortunate to have been able to experience her magic during the birth of my first child. She was incredibly kind, supportive, light, and a breath of fresh air.

    She helped us so much during labor - supporting me and my family through the process with movement and such strong intuition in knowing exactly what I needed each step of the way. There are certain moments where I truly don’t know what I would have done without her. She was quick to help me pivot into comfort during the intense moments of labor, with massages, affirmations, calmness and movements that would lend themselves to helping me progress. She also helped to explain things in real time as they were happening. Tessa is an incredibly pure and genuine person. We feel so connected to her and her practice and she truly has such a heart of gold. We are so happy that she was by our side for such an intimate moment and we’ll cherish her support forever.”
