Birth Joy of Boulder Doula

Tamra is an amazing Doula. She was there with me for the birth of both of my babies. Each birth went so well and the recovery was quick due what she taught me and how she helped me prepare for the births. What sets Tamra apart is that she worked as a Labour and Delivery Nurse for over 20 years, she is also a Pregnancy Massage Therapist and is soo knowledgeable about the body and how to best prepare you for birth! She’s also an excellent emotional support throughout your whole pregnancy and a helpful advisor and advocate while you are going through labor. If you’re looking for a Doula, Tamra is the best of the best and I can’t recommend her highly enough!!

I know with 100% certainty that Tamra is the reason I was able to have the birth and postpartum experience I was hoping for. She walked along side me and my husband through pregnancy, birth and the first months of postpartum providing an enormous wealth and balance of practical knowledge, emotional holding, and physical care. She is clearly SO passionate about her work, and is extremely generous with her time, wisdom and expertise. During our birth, Tamra was exactly who my husband and I needed to feel confident and assured in following through with our birth plan. Our midwife was super busy with two other births, and Tamra offered integral insight to help my birth progress when I was stalled at 9 cm, which my midwife might have taken much longer to suggest given her (understandable!) preo

We are so grateful for Tamra’s support throughout our pregnancy journey and beyond! Her care and kindness, along with her wealth of experience made us feel exceptionally comfortable with her. She helped guide us through challenging decisions and always made herself available when we had questions or were uncertain. Tamra even helped to mail my cord blood on the day of delivery! She consistently would go above and beyond, and I would absolutely recommend her.

The best thing I did while pregnant to set myself up for a successful and smooth birth/recovery was to hire Tamra. She is a wealth of knowledge and experience and was readily available at any time to answer my many questions and calm my nerves leading up to birth. She took a full body approach to help prepare me for birth physically and mentally through incredible body work, nutritional advice, and education. When it came time for the birth Tamra was instrumental in getting my baby into the right position- turning him from sunny side up to the correct position while I contracted was most likely the reason I was able to avoid having a cesarean birth. Beyond this, Tamra is a warm, gentle and loving presence to walk by your side on your birth journey. I was very nervous about giving birth and

Tamra is incredible- she's become a close friend and is such a great connector to other moms and resources for you as you go through the journey of pregnancy and childbirth. I also see her as often as I can for massage!!! Seriously the best massage in Boulder County. If you are looking for a doula that is a resource, a wealth of knowledge, a connector, a great personality, a lovely friend and a highly skilled woman, Tamra Giffin is the one for you! Reach out to her as early as you can- she books up fast :)
