My husband and I had an absolutely AMAZING experience with Amanda by our side. She is so well informed as a doula and all around fantastic advocate leading up to and during our labor/delivery. She even made herself available postpartum, which is above and beyond the services we agreed to or expected. I had switched from an OB practice to a midwife team at 34 weeks, and was feeling the pressure of dealing with a medical model that seemed to hijack just about every birth I had heard about up to that point. Amanda was the faith-driven advocate I needed in my corner to help navigate a hospital birth with as little meddling as possible. My unmedicated, natural labor experience was a dream, and I felt confident in what was taking place the entire time thanks so much to her calm and encouraging presence m! I also love that she didn’t make my husband feel like the third wheel in the room — she was even so kind and intentional to capture videos and photos of us as he supported me during active labor and our first encounters of our baby girl so we could focus on the precious moments. Truly could not speak more highly of Amanda — you’ll go into your birth experience with a solid foundation

Amanda is AMAZING! As a first time mom, I was clueless and didn’t know what all I needed so I wanted someone to help us navigate this new chapter.Amanda was kind and helpful throughout the whole process, even postpartum. She also knows her way around every good hospital in Nashville, which makes her even more of an asset when you are in labor and need an advocate! Overall she was amazing and we would definitely use her again if we have another child.

Amanda is INCREDIBLE! As a first time mom, I was clueless and didn’t know what all I needed. I know now that a doula is a MUST for labor and delivery, no matter what setting that may be. Amanda was kind, steady, helpful, and so faithful to keep up with me and how I’m doing, even now being 7 weeks postpartum. She also knows her way around every good hospital in Nashville, which makes her even more of an asset when you are in labor and need an advocate! Do yourself a favor and hire her! I certainly will if I ever get pregnant again.

I highly highly recommend Amanda for your doula needs! I found her late in my pregnancy but she still made sure I got the face to face time I needed. She helps you to feel well educated, cared for, understood, and heard.  She was such a calming presence at my home birth. She spoke verses over me and prayed for me, all while taking pictures and videos that I will treasure forever. Amanda with Rose Birth Services would be the best addition to your birth team.

Choosing Amanda as my doula is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. She was truly a lifeline during the whole experience of my unmedicated birth. Her calm, soothing guidance helped me push through to the end. She’s also just such a kind, cool person. I would recommend Rose Birth Services in a heartbeat!

Let me start off with sharing ??????????!

My husband and I were so blessed to have Amanda as our doula. We felt as prepared as we could be going into our first labor experience because of her. She provided us with knowledge and education for what we wanted in a birth plan. We also felt fully supported with her during our hospital labor and delivery and she also helped spin our baby from posterior to anterior facing just before I started pushing. Before meeting with Amanda, my husband was a doula skeptic and now he is a doula fan lol and for the men out there, she doesn’t make you feel replaced in the delivery room ???? she helps you guys in the moments as well! We will be working with her again in the future! Thank you for everything and your service heart! ??

I can’t say enough good things about Amanda. She is truly the best doula I have worked with! This was my third child and I have used doulas with all three. Amanda takes the time to listen to what you want your labor/delivery to look like. She then makes that experience be the best it can be. I felt so comforted knowing she was there to help, especially when I start doubting myself. I wouldn’t hesitate working with her again!

Working with Rose Birth Services was an absolute blessing, and Amanda’s unwavering support truly made our birthing experience unforgettable.


From the very beginning, Doula Amanda exhibited an unparalleled commitment to our well-being. Her wealth of knowledge and dedication to providing evidence-based information transformed her into an invaluable resource. She armed us with a treasure trove of books and hard data, which empowered us to make well-informed decisions every step of the way.


One of the aspects that truly sets Amanda apart is her open-hearted approach to our birth plan. She embraced our vision wholeheartedly, offering unwavering support without the slightest hint of judgment. Her respect for our choices and her willingness to stand by us was a source of immense comfort during a time that can often be fraught with uncertainty. Amanda ensured that our wishes were not only heard but also respected and championed in the birthing room.


Throughout the labor and delivery, Amanda exhibited a remarkable blend of professionalism and genuine compassion. Her calming presence and soothing guidance helped us navigate the challenges of labor with confidence and grace. Her ability to provide physical and emotional support was nothing short of remarkable, offering a reassuring anchor during moments of intensity.


In the end, Amanda played an instrumental role in making the birth of our third child an experience filled with empowerment, joy, and love. We wholeheartedly recommend her doula services to any expectant parents seeking a partner who not only provides invaluable information and resources but also embodies the spirit of unwavering support and respect. Amanda will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and we are eternally grateful for her presence on our journey to welcoming our newest family member.

Amanda is amazing! I did an all natural birth at a birth center for our first baby, and can't imagine having done it without her! She was such a calm, confident, and knowledgeable presence for my husband and I through the entire birth. She helped me get through contractions more comfortably and reminded me of truths like "you're safe" and "you're one contraction closer to meeting your baby!" She was also a very clear and timely communicator leading up to the birth (10 days passed our due date) and checking in on us postpartum. Cannot recommend her enough!!

I knew when I decided on a natural hospital birth I was going to need someone to help me through. Amanda was such a blessing and support for me during my labor. She knew exactly what to do to get it started again after it stalled and helped me with positioning during labor to help baby move down more. Amanda truly has magic hands and knew exactly where I needed counter pressure and when. She stayed with me after the delivery when my daughter had to be monitored in the nursery and I was so thankful to not be alone since my husband was with my daughter. I highly recommend Rose Birth Services!

For my second baby, I knew I wanted a natural birth and I chose Amanda as my doula. She had such a calming presence and was so full of knowledge. She helped me achieve the most incredible natural birth and also took amazing photos and videos I will cherish forever. If you are thinking of hiring a doula to give you the best birth experience, I highly recommend Amanda!

Amanda was our doula for my daughters recent unmedicated hospital delivery. She was AMAZING. During pregnancy, Amanda made herself available, was helpful, and was very inclusive of my husband. During delivery, she allowed special moments for me and my husband but, when transition hit, and I needed guidance, she knew just what to do to help me achieve my goal of an unmedicated delivery. Amanda quickly identified what I needed and stepped in. During postpartum Amanda has continued to be helpful with check ins and suggestions on how to make the newborn phase more manageable. Amanda is a wonderful doula and person and I am confident she would be a great addition to your birth team!
