Testimonial for Amethyst Hertsens

I am a Nurse Practitioner and my husband is a physician, but my husband and I would agree that Amethyst provided a service that neither of us could have offered. While Amethyst did not take the place of my doctor nor husband; she was the reassuring non-judgmental voice and comforting assistant that is absolutely necessary during labor and delivery. I had originally planned to have a natural birth, but after 16 hours of unbearable back labor, I made the decision to have an epidural. Usually the anesthesiologist would not allow for anyone other than staff and your partner to remain in the room during a procedure, but even my anesthesiologist was impressed with Amethyst and allowed her to stay to assist me. My husband and I will attest to the fact that Amethyst was the best decision regarding choosing a doula. Our experience would not have been the same without her. I recommend Amethyst without reservation.
