Prior to choosing Birth Partners of NE, I met a handful of doulas and just didn’t feel a connection with them. The moment I met with Tia, I knew that I needed (not just wanted) her at the birth of my second son. I felt an instant connection and knew that this woman KNOWS BIRTH! Her background, personal and professional experiences, knowledge, and just overall personality is unmatched. Through my numerous prebirth meetings with Tia, she helped me emotionally and physically prepare for birth. She was the rock that I needed when navigating pregnancy at 41weeks and all the decisions that come with it.
Most of us are lucky to find a job that we like enough to do for a while. Those who are truly lucky manage to work doing the job that they were born to do; Caren was born to do her job. The experience my wife and I had with Caren was perfect, and there is no question that her contribution went a long way to the whole experience going smoothly. As a first time father, it was very reassuring having Caren by my side helping my wife while she labored and gave birth to our daughter.
Tia has a heart of gold. You feel so deeply honored and loved in her presence. I’ve had the pleasure of working with her for several births and I can say with all sincerity that she is a rare gem. I have only positive feelings of love and pride for Tia.
When I first met Tia she explained her goal as a doula, to help my husband look like a rockstar when the big day arrived. That is EXACTLY what happened. Tia gave both my partner and I encouragement through the unknown, reminded us both that the pain of labor is safe, partnered wonderfully with the hospital staff, and overall gave us both the confidence as first time parents to push to a place we couldn't have imagined. If you are looking for a Doula to complete your labor team, look no further. Tia knows labor and delivery and your partner knows you. Together they will make the support team of your dreams!
I am a labor nurse who had the privilege of working with Tia recently- and I'll never forget her. Tia had an uncanny ability to support a mom and her partner as they found their way through labor and birth. Her quiet, loving support was just perfect. She seamlessly stepped back and stepped in, letting the couple connect with each other and their baby. I appreciated her openness to the mysteries of birth (you know, those parts we can't control- even when we want to). I look forward to working with her again
This was both mine and my partner's first baby and Caren's help was invaluable during labor and delivery! She coached me through labor on the phone before I realized I was in labor, and then helped support both myself and my partner at the hospital. If I could do everything all over again the only thing I would do differently is to hire her earlier in my pregnancy!
Everything is new & unfamiliar the first time around, so having someone there who knew what was going on, and knew my preferences and expectations was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Kim was verbal in her encouragement. It was gentle and consistent, just what I needed with a very quiet husband in the room. She did a great job allowing my husband space to be there physically yet anticipated the amount of affirmation and encouragement that were so needed.
I have worked with doulas in the past and Tia was by far the best I’ve ever worked with! She connected the family and brought a level of calmness I’ve never seen in the hospital!
