Testimonial for Amethyst Hertsens
We had Amethyst to assist my wife in the birth of our son and she was awesome. The birth was unexpectedly long and arduous for medical reasons, comprised of 28 hours of labor induced by gradually increasing and painful quantities of pitocin and culminating in a C-section. A backup doula assisted us for the first ~8 hours and then Amethyst came. Despite attending a birth the day before, her energy, confidence and smile never diminished. Her amazing doula-ing skills, replete with positioning, breathing and visualization exercises, allowed my wife to deal with the pain of induced labor without an epidural for a lot longer than is normally possible. After the birth was over, she easily got the baby breastfeeding even though my wife could barely move from the anesthesia. She is quite knowledgeable about breastfeeding and gave us even more assistance when she came to see us for a postpartum visit. I definitely recommend Amethyst and feel that her services were worth several times what we paid.
