Testimonial for Amber Matteson
From the moment we first met Amber, we knew we had found the right person to walk with us through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. As first-time parents, we had so many questions and uncertainties, but Amber’s calm presence and deep knowledge helped turn what could have felt overwhelming into something empowering. Our prenatal visits with her were invaluable—she explained our options, answered every question with patience, and gave us the tools to feel prepared.
When my wife went into labor, Amber was truly our anchor. She anticipated needs before we even voiced them, offered comfort measures that made a huge difference for my wife, and continuously reminded us both that we were capable. She guided me as well, making sure I felt included, supported, and confident in how to help my partner through each stage. Even in moments when things didn’t go exactly according to plan, Amber was steady, encouraging, and full of practical wisdom.
Postpartum, her support didn’t stop. Whether it was a reassuring phone call when we felt unsure, or her gentle guidance in caring for our newborn, Amber’s presence gave us peace of mind. She took time to know us as individuals and as a family, tailoring her care to our needs and values.
What stood out most is that Amber doesn’t just provide physical and emotional support—she truly sees you. She honored our hopes, respected our decisions, and created a sense of safety that carried us through one of the most transformative times of our lives.
Hiring Amber was without question the best decision we made for our birth experience, and we can’t imagine having gone through it without her. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking doula care—you will feel supported, informed, and deeply cared for every step of the way.
