We were privileged to have Tamara as our birth doula. She was born to do this work. She is gentle, warm, joyful, extremely knowledgeable, an impressive listener, and the hands you need doing the work you didn't even realize would be there. We simply could not have birthed our girl without her guidance, support, and care. She did a phenomenal job preparing us for the big day and never hesitated to be with us when we needed her either virtually and physically present. Do yourself a favor and procure her services for your important day!

I will tell anyone who will listen to GET A POSTPARTUM DOULA (especially for twins) and pray they have the good fortune to land with someone as compassionate, smart, creative, professional and devoted as Emma. Hands down, our beginning months with our twins would have been an entirely different picture had we not engaged her. Without her steady presence in my fourth trimester my attachment with my babies would not have been so deep, my mental health would not have been as strong and my marriage would not be so intact. Emma came for 2-3 overnight shifts in the beginning, then two, then one and then eventually we graduated from night shifts :) She now comes for short day shifts here and there to keep life outside babies humming along. For me, the GREATEST gift of having a postpartum doula was the unwavering support in my journey towards breastfeeding my twins. After a hazy and pretty hairy whirlwind of syringe and bottle feeding, donor milk, pumping pumping pumping (and more pumping) I was able to breastfeed my twins. Emma was by my side the whole time. It was important to have someone who wasn't related to me to be there. She never judged, she always validated me and she worked with me to get creative as all the many challenges of breastfeeding twins arose. Cash in those RRSPs, sell your fancy roadbikes, dip into your savings, take out little loan. TWIN PARENTS NEED POSTPARTUM DOULAS.
Emma and Bunky Bambino came so highly recommended by friends, I basically couldn't say no. We knew we were going to have a c-section and wanted some postpartum support. I had no idea how much I would need Emma until my baby was born - you just have no idea how insane it is until you're IN it. From mental health support and check-ins, to night shifts and sleep support, to making sure my baby could eat (and making sure I was eating too), she helped us with it ALL. I had issues with breastfeeding and Emma was there to help me figure out what we needed to do to make it happen. It took 10 weeks total before we were breastfeeding without support, and if she hadn't been there I would have given up. There is nothing more important than the mental health and wellbeing of the ENTIRE family unit. She easily navigates issues with openness and positivity, comes to solutions quickly and is a truly gifted Doula. We also shared in the joys of a new baby and parenthood with her because we wanted to and she felt like a part of our family. I could go on and on, but please just hurry up and BOOK HER.
Alana was an amazing doula to work with over the weeks before and after the birth of our son. She brought a warm, gentle and confident energy that allowed my husband and I to give her our full faith in her ability to be our advocate in the hospital, and she managed to juggle unforeseen circumstances during the birth with grace. She was also very helpful and responsive postpartum, and I appreciated her wise words and quick answers immensely. I highly recommend working with Bunky Bambino to any expectant mums out there considering hiring a doula!
Our family worked with Arti when our twins came home from the NICU. She has such a gentle approach and a calming presence that really worked well for our personalities. Our babies also loved spending time with her, she had a very intuitive way of knowing exactly what they needed. We didn’t work directly with Emma, but she was always available and very responsive when we had questions. Felt genuinely supported and cared for by our team, would absolutely recommend to all first time and twin parents!
