Testimonial for Amethyst Hertsens
Amethyst was my doula and teacher of hypnobirth therapy for the birth of my baby. Though I had planned to do a natural birth without drugs, I ended up getting a C-Section. Despite the sudden change, Amethyst was so compassionate, patient, nonjudgmental and accomodating. She came to the hospital and helped me relax with aromatherapy and visualization before I got wheeled away for the surgery.
I also did not plan to hire a postpartum doula, but I ended up hiring Amethyst again (because she's soooo awesome!) to help us with babycare and other domestic duties that I could not tend to. C-Section was my first surgery (and hopefully only!) and I had no idea how much pain I would be in afterwards. Amethyst not only took care of me, baby and other household tasks, but her daily presence also helped with my loneliness and struggle with being a first time mom.
I highly recommend Amethyst for everything! She is a fantastic doula (both birth and postpartum), great teacher and companion to have around after birth.
