Definition of a Doula
The word doula originates from an ancient Greek word meaning "a woman who serves"; though today the term is used as a title for an experienced childbirth professional trained in providing physical, emotional, educational and spiritual support before, during and after childbirth. Doulas provide support to the expecting mother and family to help you find your own voice and make informed decisions that are best for you, your baby and your family. |
Amanda was the perfect addition to our support team during our birth. Truly impressed with all of the knowledge and information Amanda showed us leading up to baby, and grateful for everything that was brought to the table during our actual labor. Best decision we could have made was hiring Amanda as our doula. -Leah T.
I’m so glad I found Amanda. She was able to offer so much guidance, support and encouragement from the time we first met all the way through my postpartum recovery. She is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to childbirth and she helped me make a lot of very important decisions regarding my birth plan and care. I feel like I got everything I wanted out of my birth experience, much thanks to her. She also encapsulated my placenta and I was very happy with that as well. I would recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a doula! -Jamie T.
Amanda was my doula for both my kids and I couldn’t imagine it any other way. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, patient, kind, loving, caring, and truly passionate about what she does and it shows. She’s very reliable and dependable. I love her and so thankful she was there to help deliver both my healthy kids into this world. I highly, highly recommend Amanda to be your doula if you’re looking for one.
She also provided excellent services for my placentia encapsulation for both pregnancy and I’m so happy I got it through, Amanda. -Thinh N. I reached out to Amanda early on in my pregnancy to learn more about her doula services. I knew I wanted a homebirth but that wasn’t feasible for my husband and I at the time, so I knew I needed the best support possible in order to have an unmedicated hospital birth. From the second I met Amanda, I knew she was going to be the perfect addition to our birth team. She greeted me with a hug and her warm, gentle personality was exactly what I had been searching for. Amanda always made me feel like my concerns/feelings were valid and heard and she was ready to answer any of my questions along the way. After finally choosing to transfer care from my OBGYN to a midwife for a homebirth, Amanda helped me switch gears into preparing mentally and physically to have my baby at home. She is so knowledgeable and provides you with evidence based information and helps talk you through all of your options before you make any decisions. During our birth, she was the perfect combination of support and encouraging, but also so gentle and comforting at the same time. Not only did she support me during labor, but she was so reassuring and comforting to my husband who wasn’t always sure how to help comfort me. Amanda was one of the best investments we made in our pregnancy journey. She forever has a special place in our family’s heart and we will choose Amanda as our doula again and again for all of our future babies. -Briana L.

Where to start? From the day we met Amanda we knew our search was over! She was always (and still are) super kind, present, loving, always made us feel important and gave us all the research/ knowledge for any questions we had throughout the whole process (pre/pos natal). We are so blessed and thankful for her support during the pregnancy, labor and postpartum. She was so essential in this process for us (we miss seeing her often), we truly don’t know how we could have done without her. We also used her placenta encapsulation services and essential oil expert and could not be happier. We now have a friend for life and she will always have a special place in our heart. You need her in your journey!!
-Gaby D. It was truly amazing to work with Amanda on my labor. Choosing her to be my doula was one of the best decisions that I've made that lead to a very uneventful and amazing labor experience. She is so encouraging, uplifting, and importantly, so knowledgeable about birth. I want to point out at least three things that really makes her extraordinary: 1) She puts in the time prior to the birth in preparing me and educating me about labor, which really well prepared my body physically and mentally for the labor; 2) She is always responsive to my questions and provide most useful resources and information; 3) On the day of labor, she is willing to work with me and showed up when I needed her instead of watch the clock/sign of active labor. We share the same believe and every woman deserves the birth that they want. I know I would not be able to do an un-medicated birth without her help. I would highly recommend her birth doula service. And I will certainly come back to her for my second baby. -Yuan C.
A blessing! That’s what my husband and I keep saying about Amanda. We prayed about finding the right doula for our family and God answered our prayers. Amanda has the kindest soul and supported us every step of the way in our first pregnancy with twins! Because of covid-19 she was unable to be in the hospital with us. However, she was still there in the wee hours of the night over the phone helping/supporting our labor and delivery. She came to our house and helped us labor through many contractions until it was time to go to the hospital. She even drove to the hospital to make sure we got there safely. After the twins were born she was still in contact and answered right away. She encapsulated our two placenta into pills. Game changer here. This has helped with milk supply, post partum recovery and emotions. We are 4 months post partum and she is still there for us! We are forever grateful for Amanda. We will also have her as our doula when we have more babies! Again, Amanda is a blessing and the best decision we made for our pregnancy! -LaRae B.

I found Amanda on a google search and right from the start I knew she was the Doula for me. Just speaking with her helped me feel more at ease, she has definitely found her calling. Amanda attended my twin birth, I felt so much support and love from her. With her massage and oil techniques I was able to get to nine centimeters with very little pain. I wish I had her for my previous births. I highly recommend her for both Doula and placenta encapsulation services. I read that postpartum depressions was very common after a twin birth so I sure to take my capsules everyday. I really think it helped me bounce back so much faster. I had no depression and was able to go back to work after only 8 weeks.
-Adriana J. Amanda is knowledgeable, gentle and kind. I really do not know how I would have birthed my daughters naturally without her gentle guidance. I felt comforted and supported the whole time with her help. We would use her doula services again, but we aren’t having anymore children. I would definitely recommend Amanda to enhance your birth experience—she is amazing! Amy R.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience with Amanda.
When I was first considering a natural home birth, I reached out to her and she immediately jumped on the phone with me to answer allllll my questions. We were on the phone for over an hour. After that, I hired her as my doula because of how much I liked her. Throughout my pregnancy, she was there for me whenever I needed her or had questions. During my natural home birth, she comforted me and assured me every step of the way. She also guided my husband on how to better help me during the process. I couldn’t have done it without her. She also encapsulated my placenta and it made my postpartum recovery SO much easier. This is my fifth baby and I’m so sad I didn’t do this sooner! I cannot recommend Amanda enough as a doula and placenta encapsulator. I love her so much!! -Bethanie G. |
