I haven't had Amara as a doula but as an L&D nurse who frequently works with her I can absolutely attest that she is the best of all the doulas I've worked with. She is so calm and patient and is by her clients' side supporting and coaching them the entire time. Because of my job I've seen many doulas in action and there is a direct connection with how well my patients cope with their labor and how their doulas take care of them. Women that have doulas like Amara most often times cope with their labor better and are more likely to have an unmedicated birth (if that's what they choose) because Amara is so calm and supportive through it all. Some women end up getting an epidural due to pitocin or other factors because birth plans almost never go exactly as planned and I've seen some doulas make their clients feel bad for asking for the epidural. There is no shame in it. You know what your body can handle and Amara is right their to support you with whatever decision you make. She supports her clients 110% in having an unmedicated birth with position changes, birthing balls, cold cloths, breathing, etc but if at some point they decide on an epidural she never makes them feel bad about it. She goes above and beyond for all her clients and you get a lovely birth story from her afterwards. To anyone looking for a doula, I can't recommend Amara enough!! She is absolutely wonderful!!
