I was expecting to feel very overwhelmed upon bringing home our first child six weeks ago but thanks to Tara’s twice-weekly visits, everything is just a lot easier. Beyond meal prepping (brekkie and lunch options in our case), doing laundry, tidying up and caring for our baby whilst I take a nap or have a shower, I’m so grateful for the peaceful energy and warmth she brings into our home (not to mention the amazing foot rubs). It takes a village as they say and we don’t have family around the corner so having Tara’s support has been incredible and taken a lot of pressure off. She’s also amazing with our dog which is just an added bonus!

Tara has been an amazing help both before and after the birth of our son. With no family locally, knowing that I had Tara to support me after the birth, really assisted in keeping me relaxed during my pregnancy. Tara helped us navigate the first month of our son’s life, giving us useful tips that helped us settle into life as a family of 3. Tara did so many things for us from tidying the house, making us meals, hanging out the washing, holding and bathing the baby, list goes on! I highly recommend Tara to anyone who is looking for support with a newborn in the area.

We cannot express enough how grateful we are for our amazing doula, Tara! From day one, she was an absolute lifesaver during the first 6 months of our twin babies’ lives. Not only did she provide incredible emotional support, but she also went above and beyond by preparing the most delicious, nourishing meals that kept us fueled and healthy during those sleepless nights. Her warmth, calming presence, and expertise helped keep us sane as new parents, and she truly made this intense time so much easier to navigate. If you’re looking for a doula who is not only professional but also a true blessing, look no further—she’s a gem!

After having a difficult postpartum period after my first child I was keen to try to create a better experience the second time around. I booked Tara early in pregnancy and I hit the jackpot. Having weekly assistance from Tara in the first few tricky newborn weeks was amazing. She is a wealth of knowledge, supportive, hardworking and last but definitely not least an amazing cook.
Couldn’t recommend this service more for anyone postpartum.
Thank you Tara! X
