Testimonials

Amanda was a god send. She was so knowledgeable, comforting and supportive - like a cheerleader, and really helped guide my husband in supporting me. She was a key player to have along during the pregnancy and through the labor. She was always available when I had questions, and showed up quickly when I went into labor on thanksgiving night. She’s dedicated, judgment free, strong, caring and sympathetic. Just the kind of woman you’d want by your side for the most special time of your life. I’m blessed I was able to have her with me.

I was interested in having a natural birth and using alternative methods throughout my journey. She was well informed regarding all the different options available to me. Amanda listened to my concerns and desires and provided me with exactly what I needed. She accompanied me to various birthing centers and hospital locations in order for me to choose what was right for my birth. I was so happy to receive informational emails from Amanda throughout my pregnancy pertaining to my specific needs. All in all, I am so happy I decided to work with Amanda and have her as my Doula!

"As a first time mother I had no idea what to expect in pregnancy and birth. But from the very first time I sat down with Amanda I walked away more confident, less scared, and totally empowered. She was always a text away when I had a question and seemed to check in on my at just the right time, every time. My husband and I felt prepared for the unexpected and were able to utilize techniques and tools we learned from Amanda even though my birth experience DID take a few of those unexpected turns. Not a week went by in my pregnancy that we didn’t look at each other and say, “Thank God for Amanda".

"I am so grateful to have had Amanda by my side at the birth of my first baby. She was incredibly supportive and attentive throughout the whole process, especially during the most challenging parts of delivery. We were able to experience an unmedicated birth, and while that was always our hope— I don’t know if it could’ve happened without Amanda's invaluable support and presence in the room."
Sophie Shalenberg

"Having Amanda by my side during my daughter’s birth, helped give me confidence to follow my body’s lead and to trust the birth process. My husband was even able to nap comfortably, because he knew Amanda was there. It was like having an old friend by my side, keeping things calm, making sure everything was ok, working with us to welcome our baby girl into the world as gently as possible. Amanda was almost as excited as we were to meet our daughter; she is truly passionate about being a doula, which makes her amazing!"
