Testimonial for Amethyst Hertsens
Amethyst was an integral part and positive force for our birthing team from preparation to completion. We took private hypnobirthing classes with Amethyst and the daily hypnobirthing practice made my last couple months of pregnancy so peaceful (and I believe effective, considering what a healthy, strong baby I had). Amethyst's contribution to the actual birth experience was priceless. She established and maintained a soothing, comfortable ambiance in the hospital room with music, lighting and essential oils - even the hospital staff kept mentioning how unusually pleasant it was! My husband wanted so bad to be a part of the birth but gets really queasy with anything involving blood and with Amethsyt's help he managed to stay in the room most of the time. In the most difficult parts of labor, she provided encouragement when I needed it most. Amethyst also handled my placenta encapsulation beautifully. This was my first baby so I'm not sure how a postpartum experience would be without placenta capsules but I could tell how they were helping: more energy, balancing moods and definitely increasing milk production! And the placenta imprint is a lovely keepsake. An all-around skilled doula and lovely, caring person, I highly recommend Amethyst. She is very passionate about her work and it shows.
