Laura
Amanda was an amazing doula for me as a first time mom. After discussing with her my goals and preferences for labor, delivery, and initial care to our newborn, she was able to give me references and more confidence in approaching each decision in a way that fit best for me. My husband and I both have not had a lot of experience being around children and I can’t imagine what my experience would have been like without her guidance throughout this journey. I had better expectations and was able to address things more calmly since I knew better of what to expect with how to deal with the intense labor contractions, different positions and ways to push effectively, what to pack (we had our son in the hospital), and ways to help my husband prepare to be a great support for me during labor (which was very successful and he was better than I could have ever imagined!) Overall, having Amanda as a doula definitely gave me a more positive experience in the preparation, how to help take care of our newborn, and i especially appreciated her immediate cues of ways to continue to relax through contractions- that was priceless!!! I would recommend her to anyone I know looking to improve their birth experience!

We were looking for a doula that would have the safety of my wife and son in mind through the process, and Amanda did not disappoint. We had her in our home during the early labor phase all the way to the birth at the hospital. The peace of mind and reassurance that someone was there who had been a part of multiple births in and out of a hospital was great. Her pain management and stress mitigation were essential in my wife's birthing process. I would 100% recommend her to anyone who is looking for a doula who can remain calm and maintain a peaceful environment through your journey!
