Testimonial for Amanda Saxon

Amanda was an absolute blessing throughout our birth journey. From the beginning, during our prenatal visits, she was a wealth of knowledge, helping us prepare for birth in a way that felt both empowering and reassuring. She was always responsive and available whenever we needed guidance leading up to labor. After going to 41 weeks and 5 days, I had to be induced—a change in plan that could have felt overwhelming. But Amanda remained positive and encouraging, reminding us that while the journey might shift, the destination would remain the same. That mantra stayed with me throughout my labor. She arrived early in the morning once I was induced, bringing the most thoughtful items that set the perfect energy in the room—essential oils, calming lights, and even the perfect snacks and drinks to keep me going. She knew exactly how to support both me and my husband, stepping in when he needed rest and always offering guidance with love and respect. Throughout my 36-hour labor, she suggested different positions and techniques to help—moving from the shower to the tub, trying inversions, and offering hip squeezes, encouragement, and sips of green tea. Even when labor wasn’t progressing, leading to an informed and non-emergent belly birth, I still felt completely empowered, thanks to Amanda’s unwavering support. She stayed for the birth, capturing beautiful photos and videos—moments my husband wouldn’t have been able to get since he was by my side. I will always treasure those images as they document the moment we became parents. Her care didn’t end there. The follow-up visit at our home was just as wonderful. She took the time to reflect on our experience together and offered breastfeeding tips. Amanda has such a warm and calming spirit—it truly felt like we had known her forever. She made our birth experience one filled with love, empowerment, and unwavering support. We cannot recommend her enough!
