Testimonial for Amber Matteson
A dear friend who works in the doula world told us that there was no better choice for our family than to hire Amber Matteson as a doula. She is thoughtful, compassionate, professional, and experienced with the ways lots of different people experience birth, especially queer, neurodivergent, fat, and chronically ill folks.
We were in the very best of hands through a difficult pregnancy, stressful birth, and complicated postpartum period. Amber was easy to connect with and gave each of us the kind of reassurances that we needed, comforting the birthing person and helping the support partner be an active part of the birth. In addition to advice she gave us, which was spot on at every step, she was able to help us navigate the hospital experience because of her deep knowledge of Mount Auburn and continued to be a resource during the postpartum period. Families who may be worried that, because of their particular life experiences, there is no doula who they can trust to shepherd them through the process of bringing a baby into the world would be lucky to find themselves on Amber’s client list.
