We are beyond grateful for the care and support we received from Amy. From the very beginning, she brought a sense of calm, confidence, and deep experience that made an enormous difference during those early weeks with a newborn.
She was incredibly thoughtful and attentive, not only to our baby’s needs, but to mine as well. Whether it was helping with feeding, soothing techniques, newborn care, or simply reminding me to rest and take care of myself, she showed up with kindness and intention every single time.
What stood out most was how genuinely caring she is. She listened without judgment, anticipated needs before I even had to ask, and created a nurturing environment that helped our family adjust and thrive. Having her by our side during postpartum was one of the best decisions we made.
I cannot recommend her highly enough to any family looking for experienced, compassionate, and truly exceptional postpartum support.

Amy was a huge help to us the first few weeks we had our baby boy. She was so great with our little newborn and I trusted her right away to watch him while we napped and slept a few nights, which was so needed. She calmed my nerves during those first few weeks as well. I highly reccomend her!

We really enjoyed having Amy around! As first-time parents, we had so many questions and uncertainties, but Amy brought such a calm, reassuring presence into our home. From the very beginning, she made us feel confident and capable, always reminding us that we were doing a great job. Her experience really showed, not just in how she cared for our baby, but in how she supported us as parents. Having Amy by our side made those early weeks feel less overwhelming and far more joyful.
Highly recommend!

We first met Amy in an expecting parents class at our local hospital. We were very impressed with her ability to communicate very nuanced topics clearly and compassionately without coming across as judgemental.
When we hired Amy as a postpartum doula, every time she visited she was ready to help us with whatever we needed, whether that was actually caring for our newborn son, or washing baby bottles / doing laundry. Her emotional support was also so valuable - she was so positive and encouraging of us, and we could always trust her to give us balanced and thoughtful info on sensitive topics. Her support of my transition to being a new dad was also extremely valuable
In summary, working with Amy was amazing - I will always be grateful for the support she provided us at such an important time in our lives

Amy saved me after I had my 3rd baby, I could sing her praises forever! She was communicative, kind and supportive. She understood my needs as a momma and was so loving with my kiddos. Thank you Amy for knowing just how to care for my family!

Amy was with us for our first baby and she's joining us for our second! With our first kid, there were so many things we didn't know - how to use the baby wrap, the carrier. She taught us so many things like that, and also carried us through that second month when our daughter had colic and gas. She has so many tips and tricks and gave me (mom) the space to rest and take care of myself. I would even leave the house, get a coffee, walk our dog, - - all while knowing that Amy was taking amazing care with my daughter and me ??????

Our family started working with Amy in 2021, when my first baby was born. I remember how much I trusted her immediately. Since that first meeting, that trust has only grown, and I knew that I'd have the support I needed when I brought my second home from the hospital late last year. Amy has always been there for me and my babies in exactly the way we need her to be; my worries disappear when she walks through the door because I know we will all be cared for. And her reassurance and gentle guidance have helped me become a more confident, capable mother. She's just the best!

Amy felt like family right away. Having her there on the first day when you get home from the hospital was amazing and allowed my husband and I to ease into being home with the baby. Especially after a long labor and light sleep in the hospital it's great to have Amy to allow your brain to shut off to get actual sleep. We had Amy come about every two to three days, it allowed us to catch up on sleep right when we needed it most. I was pumping, so I would pump and put the bottle in the fridge and go back to sleep. Amy truly handled everything during those rest breaks I needed while also finding some laundry, or washing bottles and pump parts (the never ending task!!). Amy is great to talk with, is funny, and has a great personality. There was a week or two where I was starting to question if I had PPD, and chatting with Amy for 20 minutes before I headed up to rest made me feel more like me again. Amy helped with a mix of nights and days which I enjoyed. Being a first time parent, Amy taught me a lot and I really enjoyed her knowledge of tiny developmental cues along the way. Example- "now that he is staring to drool, you may notice his poop contains a little mucus" Tons of things I had noticed in my son and was thankful Amy pointed out where developmental milestones and normal!! If you are having a hard time choosing between doulas, end your thinking and just go with Amy, you won't regret it.
