Testimonial for Amara Minnis

From the moment my husband & I met Amara, we unanimously agreed that we wanted her to be the doula for the birth of our son. Her calmness impressed us immediately we always felt at ease when we met with her leading up to our high risk birth. Amara was always very much in-tuned to what would be best to make me comfortable. We talked after every doctors appointment, ultrasound and test and I always felt like I was her only client because of the support she gave us.
I went through weeks of pre-labor and everyday Amara reminded me to get rest, stay hydrated and helped me stay positive about the whole experience. When we went past our due date (our 1st was a month early so we never thought late was even a possibility) Amara helped us weigh our options and come to peace with being induced. Labor was a very difficult experience. I reacted too well to the induction medication and had very strong contractions. Amara was with my husband and I every step of the way through the nausea, the epidural not working, and my major fibromyalgia flares. After dilating to 9 centimeters and then losing dilation on top of having a fever a c-section was becoming more and more of a reality. Amara helped us deal with the reality and stayed with us until we were wheeled into the operating room. She whispered positive affirmations and reminded us of the end goal,
A happy healthy baby. After surgery Amara was waiting for us in recovery.
My son spent a week in the NICU and Amara checked on us regularly. I am 10 weeks postpartum and she still asks how I feel after my c section.
I am extremely grateful for Amara's care of us during the birth of our son. I think without her encouragement & support, our birth would have been a very different experience. Amara was an invaluable part of our pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience.
