Testimonials

"I am so fortunate to have had Amanda through my journey to motherhood. She provided the utmost care and consideration from the moment I first got in contact with her. She is caring, knowledgeable, warm, attentive and truly the salt of the earth. Her advice and support were invaluable and my family and I are SO extremely grateful she was part of my pregnancy and birth team. Amanda is an amazing person and absolutely fantastic at what she does. I can’t recommend her more!"

I don't even know where to start....Amanda is such a beautiful human. She is an amazing doula, she is so passionate and has so much knowledge about birth work. Her prenatal visits are so informative and calming and never feel rushed she takes her time and spends time with you - she answered every question that my husband and I had she addressed any kind of worry I had. She has an immediate calming effect about her. She is very genuine. Throughout my pregnancy Amanda always reached out to just check in on how I was feeling/if I had any worries or concerns or if I just wanted to talk. I was supposed to give birth in a birth center, however I had meconium so we had a last minute change of plan and I had to give birth in a hospital, which was not in my birth plan. As soon as Amanda knew she was right there, she even set the room up for me as if I was in a birth center. She had an oil diffuser, played calming music for me and had battery lit candles all over the room to create a sense of calm. Since I was due to give birth in a birth center previously that meant no epidural or major medical intervention and Amanda supported me all the way through it when I was in labor. She was so encouraging, positive & up-lifting. Every contraction I had she was there to support me and make me feel safe and comfortable. My husband and I are beyond blessed to have had Amanda by our side during our amazing journey and I know I could not have done it without her. I highly recommend Amanda to any family!

Amanda is an absolutely incredible doula! I highly recommend any woman who is looking for this level of care and support hire Amanda. For starters, she not only has a calming energy (which we so desperately need as women going through labor!), but she also is so knowledgeable of every facet of labor. You can run each intervention by her as well as the post-partum things like mood and breast feeding.


It was really impactful to me that Amanda called me in the wee hours of the night, after my water broke, and just said "I felt like y you needed to talk - how are you holding up?" This gesture made me feel so seen and supported - I did not even have to ask and she called.


My labor ended up being 38 hours, and during those final moments when I was fatigued, ready to be done, and generally lower in spirit, Amanda kept me going - reminding me that I was doing great and almost there.


She helped me prepare the placenta after labor and dropped it off (along with some banana bread), and I was again so thankful I chose her to work with. The personal touch combined with her knowledge and warmth is something every doula should have!


Aside from all of that, Amanda has knowledge of holistic remedies and herbs to help support mom - a key for me when hiring a doula. I, of course, wanted support through labor but I also wanted support for me knowing this would be a huge transition (and I am a bit of a holistic health seeker myself.)


Again - I highly recommend Amanda as a doula!

After debating on seeking assistance with childbirth, my wife and I decided to do so, and were lucky beyond words to have been referred to Amanda. We could never fully express how grateful we are or how fortunate we feel to have had someone like her in our corner. Every once in while you stumble upon someone who makes you think that they were sent to this world to help people, and Amanda is undoubtedly one of those people. We are forever indebted to her for everything she did for our family. One of the most genuine, caring, respectful, supportive and truly good human beings I have ever encountered. On top of that, she is extremely knowledgeable and impressively well read. If every mother-to-be had someone half as good as Amanda in their corner, their childbirth experience would be nothing short of an absolute blessing.
