Tobbi was our Doula for my first grandson. She was involved from the very start attending appointments and tending to the needs of mom and baby. I absolutely love how she advocated for my daughter while she was in active labor. Her presence was a Godsend. This was my first experience using a doula and I would definitely recommend.
