Testimonial for Amethyst Hertsens

My wife and I met Amethyst upon the recommendation of a dear friend who had hired her to help with the birth of their first child a month prior. We met Amethyst for coffee in our neighborhood and were immediately disarmed by her confidence and sense of humor. By the end of our conversation it was clear that we needed to look no further. We hired Amethyst because we were first time parents and were absolutely clueless. I'm not one to do a lot of online birthing research, or read a ton of baby books, so the opportunity to hire an expert that we could trust (and actually enjoyed being around!) was a no-brainer. In hindsight I cannot imagine not having Amethyst by our side throughout this process. We would have been clueless, overwhelmed, and who knows how the story would have ended up. Her confidence, knowledge, dependability, and genuine love for birthing little humans was incredible- and without a doubt led to as easy (and enjoyable) birth as possible. Amethyst more than met any expectations I had. When (if) it's time for kid number two to come popping out we'll be calling Amethyst as soon as that little stick turns blue. I cannot recommend Amethyst enough for any family who hopes to navigate through all the chaos surrounding birth in a relaxed, informative, and enjoyable manner.
