WHY TAMPA FAMILIES LOVE BUDDHA BELLY DOULAS

One of the best ways to get to know our services is through the experiences of the Tampa area families we have served.

"Buddha Belly is amazing! The postpartum doulas provide so much support for not just our baby but our whole family. We are so lucky to have them as part of our village!"

"We had the pleasure of working with Buddha Belly for the delivery of our twin boys and it was a wonderful experience. Starting with our first interaction with the owners Christie, through the delivery and after with our Doulas. They were a great resource of information in helping to prepare for the labor and throughout the delivery process. We would highly recommend this team to anyone considering a doula!"

"This Newborn Care class was absolutely awesome and so informative. We truly feel prepared to have our baby in a few weeks with a good baseline for how to read his cues and take care of him! Justine was great and so comforting and kind to answer all our questions. Overall I’d highly suggest this class to friends and family.  So great - thanks again!"

- Mariah

"We had Frances and Alessandra as our birth doula team and they were amazing!  Frances was great during labor and delivery. She was amazing at advocating for me and informing me about everything that was happening and going to happen. She was supportive in every decision I made, and well informed on various positions and massages that help during labor. We definitely know for our next child we would love to go through Buddha Belly!"

- Anya

"Highly suggest this company during pregnancy/ postpartum. Working in the medical field I was very anxious about the labor process. Frances was our doula that assisted me during my birth. Her guidance and support during the whole labor process was worth its weight in gold. My husband and I also two postpartum doulas Michaela and Jillian. Michaela was also a certified IBCLC that helped me with breastfeeding. All around professionals that support you through any situation you might be wanting extra guidance."

"I did a belly cast with Korene and am thrilled with how it turned out! It's a keepsake I'll cherish from what will be my last pregnancy. Korene did such exquisite work, with great attention to detail, and exactly what I wanted. You can tell she loves what she does! I will recommend this to all my beautiful, pregnant-bellied friends."

- Kelly

"We took the birthing class and got the placenta encapsulation/tincture. Everyone was incredible and made us feel so much more confident going into labor and postpartum!! Will definitely be using these services again when we’re ready for baby round two." 

- Lauran

"Amazing experience!! Staff is super friendly and helpful with all the questions I had for them. The process was even cooler and I love my placenta capsules!! I can't thank Korene enough for showing me such an awesome process!"

- Whitney

"Buddha Belly Doulas are AMAZING ♥️ We were blessed with several wonderful postpartum doulas that went above and beyond to make not only our son so very happy but also to make our lives just a little easier!! For the majority of time, we had Korene who did EVERYTHING (this is not an exaggeration). Every day she arrived she would have the most positive attitude and was ready to help with any household chores that were on my never ending to do list!! I swear she is the baby whisperer! We will never forget the light she was in our life."

- Melanie

"I cannot tell you how grateful I am for Rebecca. I was having a ton of anxiety and was worried that I didn't have enough milk for the baby. She helped me with a new latch, gave me a bunch of tips and now I feel really good about breast-feeding. She is wonderful! Thank you so much for providing this service!”

- Cassandra

"Absolutely amazing!!! If I could give them more stars, I would! The staff is incredibly helpful and super knowledgeable. I used them for placenta encapsulation as well as lactation consultant. Everyone was genuinely kind and checked in with my family daily. We love Buddha Belly! If I would have known about them during my pregnancy, I would have gone to them from day 1! Highly recommend for anyone, especially first time mommies and daddies."

- Jessica

Riverview, FL

"Every service we used with Buddha Belly Doulas truly exceeded our expectations. My husband and I took the preparing for birth class, baby care class, had an amazing doula team and met with one of their lactation consultants who answered all my questions. Everyone we met was so kind and knowledgeable. Our doula team was responsive and comforting. The classes were highly informational and really helped prepare us, I can't recommend them enough. Our experience would not have been the same without Buddha Belly and we are so grateful!"

- Mallory

"I had a very long labor and just about nothing went as I hoped or planned. But having Amy there provided the calm, support, wisdom, and peace of mind that my husband and I needed. Of all the things you can spend money on while welcoming a baby into the world, really, nothing is nearly as important."
