"Teeya is incredible! My partner was also incredibly grateful for how in tune she was with what I was experiencing while in labour and how she managed to help while giving him a chance to rest. She was also incredibly responsive and organized, despite how late we were in our pregnancy before getting her support. I also love how she was incredibly open and not judgmental about our choices, and instead, focused on how to provide us with insights to help us better understand our decisions from a more informed place. I only wish I would've gotten her help sooner, and also looked into the GGDA resources and signed up for the postpartum prep workshop beforehand!"

"Teeya was incredible as a support person, doula, advocate and friend to my partner and I during the last stage of pregnancy and the birth + delivery! I had a 'dream' of how I imagined my labor and delivery going, she helped provide us tools for what that could look like, and in reality, my birth had a lot of unplanned changes and complications and she quickly adapted to still have the birth be a special and connecting time for my husband and I and our sweet baby girl. I could not recommend Teeya enough! We are so grateful!"

We are so lucky to have worked with Teeya . She is everything you could want in a doula and more! Teeya is knowledgeable on so many aspects of birth. If she didn't know an answer to a question we had, she was quick to send us evidence based information. Not only did I feel well educated before my birth but, I felt fully supported our doula and my partner. I could not have asked for a better birth experience thanks to Teeya.

"We didn't know what a postpartum doula was when we had our first baby, and I found myself often becoming very anxious and low in those early weeks, even with a very supportive partner. Having Teeya there for us right as we brought our second baby home from the hospital made a world of difference. Teeya made my physical and emotional well-being top priority. Asking for help is not my strong suit, but Teeya was so attuned to me and always knew what to do. Whether that was taking care of the baby so I could rest, making sure I was fed, playing with our older child so my husband and I could bond with the baby together, or doing the dishes, I was so relieved and grateful she was there. She saw me in postpartum diapers, feeling like a total mess, but her warm, non-judgmental presence kept me afloat. I couldn't recommend her more."

My doula was very prepared! She brought a bag of supplies and included back up supplies. She was very helpful in reminding me to drink water and use the restroom. Teeya is an amazing doula and I cannot recommend her enough. She helped prepare us for the birth while I was pregnant sharing evidence based knowledge. She is great on communication and very present. She will ask questions to make sure you’re comfortable and be your advocate when you are afraid. With all the emotions I was experiencing postpartum she came to visit and was like family reminding me to take it easy. Lending her ear and heart, Teeya is a great doula. She will make a wonderful addition to your support team.

Teeya Smith was absolutely awesome and incredible. We really really like her and she is an amazing Doula that sincerely helped, supported, taught us, and was wonderful through the whole birthing experience. Her prenatal visits were great, we got very well acquainted and even became friends. She provide great educational information, explained the whole birthing process, we prepared a great birth plan, and she provided plenty of tips and ideas on how to cope with the pain and go through the birthing process. Teeya is a wonderful human being and we are extremely grateful having her with us throughout this first time life experience. We highly recommend Teeya and her incredible services and care.

I'm so thankful for having Teeya on my birthing team! She was really incredible throughout the entire process. 
Teeya was always very reliable - she was very well organized, she always came on time, and didn't mind staying longer if there were things to discuss. She also suggested to support us during the inversion procedure (the baby was breech) which was really helpfuland gave us a
good taste of what the birthing experience might look like, which made us feel much more confident.
Teeya was also very respectful and a great listener. I really appreciated that she normalized a lot of situations which would feel shameful during birth (such as pooping). She also connected well with my partner and they both did a great job together during birth. 
She was really resilient and present during labor. She was with me the entire time and we had a great connection. I trusted her when there were times a decision had to be made and her reassurance was very helpful when things got confusing.
She also brought a lot of useful props that allowed me to have an unmedicated birth- tens unit, peppermint bag, ceiling lights.
The postpartum visits were also really valuable - we were able to spend time to talk about the baby care, but also talk about how we felt about the birth. Processing that event with Teeya was like a therapy session and after doing that I felt like I was able to come to terms
with it and find my own way to interpret what happened. 
Overall she was a great support for our family and I can't imagine this experience without her!

We were so grateful that Teeya was with us every step of our journey. Not only did she help equip us with tools for labor and help us know what to expect, but she also made herself available for any and all questions that popped up. When my water did broke and we spent over 48 hours trying to get contractions to start, Teeya was our sounding board, our comfort, and the advocate we had hoped for when working with the hospital care team. As the birthing person, she not only looked out for my physical and mental state during labor, but she also did what she could to make sure I was emotionally ready by encouraging me to process the frustration I was feeling about miscommunications with our care team. Teeya was just an overall incredible fit for us as a doula and we truly can't imagine the birth of our daughter without her being an integral part of the journey.
