  From the very beginning, we connected with Tanisha's easy-going energy and vibe. The pre-natal visits were relaxed and informative with plenty of useful information that she provided for us to help us best prepare for not only labor and delivery, but for things to come after that (ie bonding with baby, breastfeeding, postpartum recovery, etc). During labor and delivery, Tanisha was invaluable, not only supporting myself but also my husband as we became parents for the first time. My labor ended up being very different from what I had preferred and imagined for myself, and also quite long. Through it all, Tanisha's energy level never faltered and her dedication to us was unwavering.
  
  It really helped to have her years of experience and knowledge along for the journey. We would HIGHLY recommend her to any expecting parents!
  
  PS: Also awesome that she does placenta encapsulation too!

  Tanisha was just amazing!
  
  As a first time dad, i have to say i was extremely happy i had Tanisha in my corner during the birth of my baby. She was very knowledgable, profesional, understanding and great at providing the support both my wife and i needed. Thank you and i hope you continue to make this experience a good one for the next lucky couple or single person that have you as a doula.

  Our decision to have a Doula help with the birth of our first son Henry was definitely one of the best ones we ever made. Henry was a month early so unfortunately we were unable to schedule the second face to face meeting to talk about our birth plan. Although we had met virtually speaking over the phone a few times, this meant that our first personal encounter with Tanisha Evans- Marin was when we had already checked into the hospital. Obviously this was quite a stressful time for us but you could tell that Tanisha knew what she was doing as she quickly took control of the environment and very easily became the leader in this very new experience for us. She guided both of us calmly and clearly through a very long labor and explained to us what was happening throughout the whole experience, even interpreting some of the medical jargon that was being thrown around by the doctors and medical staff. She became our spokesperson and our voice which allowed us to really stay in the moment with the entire birth experience.
  After our birth she kept in close contact to make sure that Henry was latching and doing well.
  I could not recommend more highly Tanisha Marins-Evan to anyone who is considering hiring a doula. We will definitely be hoping that she is available for our next one!

  We felt Tanisha was the right person to join us in our journey right away. My partner and I felt so comfortable sharing anything with her from the first interview. Every prenatal was very pleasant and filled with ideas, useful tips and information.Tanisha helped us go thru every preference and possibility for our labor with love and lots of humor. Her advise in diet and teas, and tips for a healthy pregnancy was very valuable. She kept a me in check with my diet and water intake, my emotions and replied in detail and promtly to all our correspondence. It was so reassuring to hear back from her so soon and always very affectionate! At the end, with some unpredictable complications during labor, her presence was wonderful, she helped us think our possibilities in a very impartial and respectful manner. We are so happy to have met her and shared all that time with her. Postnatal visit was also invaluable with lactation and postpartum recovery. We and our little boy Wyatt hope to keep in touch with her forever! <3 Thank you Tanisha!

  Tanisha was a fantastic doula, from the start to the finish of our experience.
  During the pregnancy, she was extremely supportive and always available for questions. My wife had some minor complications mid pregnancy, and it was great for her to have someone experienced (besides her doctor) to talk to.
  During labor, she helped create a calm and positive atmosphere. She knows a lot of great techniques to help manage the pains of labor. She performed these herself with my wife and also advised me on what to do.
  She was great at navigating the sometimes confusing hospital environment. (We were at Mt. Sinai West.) Her interaction with the nurses and doctors was excellent.
  Post delivery, she continued to offer her wisdom and support. She is also a lactation consultant, and her help with breastfeeding during the early days was very valuable.
  I couldn't imagine a better experience. Highly recommended.
