From my birth journal 'the morning after my birth Tasara ran me a bath with Epsom salts and herbs for healing, lit candles, and played the perfect music. My partner enjoyed skin-to-skin with our new baby boy, while I lay in the bath digesting and integrating the best night of my life Tasara sat and listened, offering water and tea'. This was one of the many moments that Tasara held and treated me like a queen. I can never thank Tasara enough for the prenatal debriefs and knowledge, the yoni steams, magic massages (seriously their hands can do no wrong), foot soaks, my special birth blessing ceremony, literally holding me while I pushed my son out, engaging with my toddler throughout my care (Tasara is incredible with kids!), and all the delicious food and snacks (omg the food!!).

Tasara has a magic way with herbs, touch, and presence. A doula should be a must for every birthing person because every birthing person deserves this amount of love and care through the transformation that is becoming a parent! Tasara played such a huge role in me having the birth and postpartum or my dreams, there truly are no words to the golden time it was. Thank you thank you! After such an empowering experience there is no doubt in my mind that I will do it all again with Tasara by my side, can't wait for that sweet time and the sweet Nepalese pudding postbirth!

“We engaged Tasara as support for the birth of our second daughter, Nettie. We had had a generally positive experience with the birth of our first daughter but had no labouring support beyond ourselves and the hospital staff, and it had ended in a c-section. I wanted to try for a VBAC with this pregnancy and felt strongly that we would need support in order to attempt this. Tasara was a huge comfort and support before, during and after the birth of Nettie. In the months leading up to the birth, they walked us through various labouring techniques, answered any questions, debriefed after hospital appointments and shared research to help us make decisions around the birth.

When the labour started they came straight over and was there with a beautiful combination of practical know-how and emotional intelligence that meant I felt capable, safe and strong as the labour progressed, and my husband felt bolstered in his support role also. Tasara accompanied us to the hospital and was amazing as an advocate for me and a wonderful help in liaising between us and the doctors and midwives so that we were aware of all the choices available and felt empowered in our decisions. Nettie arrived safely - a completely natural birth - and I can say candidly that it would not have happened were it not for Tasara’s support.

I would recommend Tasara wholeheartedly and unreservedly. Able to now reflect on the difference between my two birth experiences, I feel that it is crazy for anyone to go through the experience of labouring and giving birth without the external support of a doula. Tasara is a gem”. Liz

“Tasara was by our side through my pregnancy, birth and postpartum time, and I can truly say I do not know how I could have experienced this amazing time without them there. Tasara’s in-depth knowledge, care, and love for birthing people and babies is undeniable and shines through them. 

Tasara’s deep understanding and non-judgemental presence during this most important time of our lives allowed us to feel confident in our decision-making and gave us an understanding of the medical system and the different interventions available. They helped us work through our fears before the birth, they normalised a lot of them for us and held space for us to work through them, resulting in us feeling more confident and positive about things to come.  

We birthed in the maternal group practice, however, I knew I wanted to be at home for as long as possible, to avoid any interventions and to feel safe in my own space. I had the birth of my dreams, no intervention, full love and confidence. I would go through it again any day, and I truly believe it was because Tasara was there. 

My waters broke three weeks early, without me being in labour and so I had 48 hours to try and bring on my labour without intervention. Tasara prepared me with different solutions including acupressure, nourishing food and exercises. I went into labour at home 36 hours after my waters broke feeling ready and in control. 

Tasara’s ability to be present without being noticed is an incredibly developed skill. They held space for my partner and I to feel safe and in control without being in our faces. They set up the house with all different stations for me to move around whilst labouring. Using exercise balls, different movements, the shower, breath work and hot compresses, I was able to see out my labour to transition, at home. Tasara knew the exact moment we needed to make the move from home to hospital and was in constant contact with my midwife. They had the car packed, and the hospital room set up and was able to chat with our midwife without them having to ask my partner or myself many questions. 

My partner was able to stay calm and relaxed and very present as he knew that Tasara could tell we were progressing nicely and that what I was experiencing was ‘normal’. He felt as though a lot of pressure was taken from him enabling him to enjoy the experience, as well as take much-needed breaks. 

I pushed for two or so hours in the hospital, in the shower in a darkened setting with both my partner and Tasara by my side. Tasara was able to clearly communicate my desires to the midwife, resulting in a truly epic experience. 

Postpartum, was not what I imagined. Bub had severe allergies, colic and reflux and cried for weeks on end. It was not what my partner or I had expected, and we did not know what to do, think, or even if it was normal, as it was our first baby. We had some incredibly dark thoughts and were very miserable for the first few months. Tasara normalised everything for us, reminding us that it was more common than we thought. They were able to pick up the allergies and helped me with a list of foods to take out of my diet to help try and settle Bub’s tummy. They cooked me some delicious and nourishing foods, and I felt confident and safe handing Bub to them to give us much-needed breaks from the crying. Tasara would strap him on and give us the space we needed to regroup.  

 Tasara’s energy is like nothing I have experienced from someone before. They makes me feel safe, nurtured, and beautiful. I often felt as though I didn’t have to speak my thoughts, as they knew what I needed and wanted. 

I will never birth without Tasara.”

“From the moment Tasara arrived at our home I felt their presence and energy holding and supporting me, gently guiding, and encouraging. Effortlessly They knew exactly what I needed when I needed it, whilst holding the sacred space. I had only met Tasara once prior to them coming to our birth, but their entry was seamless and made me feel completely comfortable.

I knew my labour was progressing quickly but our midwife didn’t come until what felt like much later, Tasara knew exactly where I was the whole time and their reassurance and experience gave me the confidence to work with my body and my baby calmly, embracing each wave. Tasara expertly supported my partner and gave us the tools, and space to work with them together. It’s the small touches they brought to our birth that make me smile- bite sized chunks of lychee when I needed an energy boost, every sip of water through the straw they held, the cold wash cloth on the back of my neck. Every calming, encouraging word and the perfect pressure in their touch when I needed it most.

Our birth was a truly magical, beautiful experience and I can honestly say I could not have done it without Tasara there. Our midwife was incredible but the additional support a doula brings- the energy, tools, depth of knowledge and care are indescribable. Every birthing person should have this gift, I hope that Tasara will be with us for our next birth, I cannot recommend them highly enough, thank you Tasara.”

“How to express the incredible value of a doula? They are an all-encompassing wholistic guide, for both parents, through the most extraordinary transition and transformation that is pregnancy and birth. While there are often a lot of skills shared by both midwife and doula, where a midwife might bring particular physical, medical knowledge, and a mother and baby-health focused experience, a doula can often fulfil the more overarching holding of the whole family, and importantly making them all feel safe and comfortable throughout the journey. As a new father, I was incredibly grateful for the amazing doula support we received during pregnancy and the birth of our son at home - and especially so for the incredible support for my own process.

I’m grateful beyond words and truly honoured to have been supported by Tasara through such a transformative experience. Their absolute unwavering care for us and holding of space was incredible to experience, and we both felt so safe and held by their presence and clarity throughout. As a support for my partner during labour, I believe Tasara was invaluable, with their constant affirming and encouraging words, their intuitive awareness of creating a nurturing and beautiful space for us, just as we needed, and their ability to assist in the physicality of labour. And as a father, not only did I feel sure that my partner and baby were completely held in their capable hands, but I felt that I, too, always had the most dependable support person, a team mate who would do anything necessary for us - and who was always intuitively a step ahead, knowing exactly what was needed: and I found them to be invaluable in their support of me through my own experience. I cannot recommend Tasara highly enough - They are one of the most extraordinary humans I know, and an exceptional doula.” Sam, first-time father

Kane & Charis

“When we first meet Tasara we were drawn into their amazing energy and strength. Our relationship began with Tasara working with our boy who at the time was 2 years old. Tasara's ability to nurture and enhance Oskar's self-confidence was very noticeable along with their ability to balance out any pent-up emotional energy.

My partner was pregnant with our second boy and naturally engaged Tasara to be our doula as they were not only being of great assistance to our son but also to us personally on so many levels. Their maturity and wisdom is bound their years and made our second birth an experience of deep trust, reverence and helped us to surrender to the innate knowing of how natural birth is. This gave Charis the strength and courage to bring our second boy into the world with confidence and openness.

I was guided by Tasara to give effective support to Charis. They encouraged connection between Charis and I, and I trusted them completely to guide us through. Having Tasara there took the pressure off and helped me relax into my role as loving partner and father. We could not recommend them enough, as a doula, educator, family support and wish we had them with us full time.” Kane, Father of two

With my first pregnancy I thought I wouldn't need the support of a doula.. Gosh I was wrong! First thing I thought when I got pregnant again was to call Tasara. I didn't know them personally at the time, but I was recommended them by a midwife friend of mine, I loved their energy right away. I loved the gentleness and kindness, I would always feel spoiled in their visits. I don't think they know the impact they had on my recovery, and their massages were the best! Ah! I was craving cuddles and they would be so nice preparing a meal while rocking my baby so I could rest, with a magical herbal infused hot bath, followed by the best massage yay! I am so grateful they were my doula, not only for my postpartum recovery but for my labour too. I can't describe well enough how big their role was on Ela's birth day. They made me feel safe and supported. They were present and watching over me, looking after me like no one would have, my partner was busy with our first daughter so Tasara was there, massaging me and assisting me through the surges. I had a beautiful homebirth, and Tasara made it even more special with their wonderful service. I am forever grateful!
