Testimonial for Amethyst Hertsens
Amethyst was an absolute joy to work with. During our prenatal visits, she thoroughly explained everything about the labor and birth process and answered any questions I had about a doula and their role in the birthing process and about birth in general. She is incredibly knowledgeable. We also created a birth plan. We spoke about what to pack in my birth bag, I learned about HypnoBirthing and MANY other things that Amethyst specializes in. Her loving, funny, happy, calm presence was so soothing and very supportive to me. She made me feel so prepared for birth. While Amethyst was terrific prenatally, during the labor itself is where she really shined. She was absolutely the BEST cheerleader, coach, friend, and advocate. She was intuitive and knew exactly what I needed in each moment of the labor. We used essential oils (heavenly), Rebozo techniques (she's an expert in Rebozo and teaches workshops to other birth professionals on how to use it) and HypnoBirthing. We also practiced Breathing Techniques, dim lighting, music, and dancing! I had the non medicated vaginal birth of my dreams! Once my baby was born, we started breastfeeding which is yet ANOTHER area of expertise for Amethyst. She also encapsulated my placenta! There isn't much that Amethyst doesn't do. She is the utmost professional and clearly well respected by medical staff. Words can not truly express the gratitude I have for her support and guidance. I feel incredibly lucky to have had Amethyst by my side as my doula and would HIGHLY recommend her to everyone! She will always be in the hearts of myself and my family!
