I first met Tamra while she was volunteering to teach Native American children how to make regalia. My children loved her and she was incredibly patient and kind, with a passion for education. Imagine my delight when I found out she had become a doula right after I found out I was pregnant with my third child. She knew I didn’t have a large budget and she worked with me and supported me every step of the way, from prenatal visits, birth, lactation support, then when I was feeling defeated, she stepped in to help with newborn support. Within two weeks, my new daughter was sleeping on a schedule and I was finally able to catch up on sleep. I truly don’t know how I could have done it without her. She also used her own Native American heritage to make me feel comfortable, including smudging my space, cooking indigenous meals, and blessing my home and family.
