Testimonial for Amethyst Hertsens

Amethyst is warmth and competence personified. Our first interview with her was sweet - she was feeling us out, as she does all her clients, to understand what needs and preferences we had - but it was in her second meeting with us that we began to feel how deep and considered her knowledge of pregnancy, birth and early childhood is. We could ask her about any detail of pregnancy or early childhood, any idea, practice, book, or DVD we’d heard of from parents or friends, and each time we’d get back a serious, nuanced opinion based on both research and significant personal experience. Amethyst is also seemingly master-trained or certified in pretty much anything you can get a certification for. She made us feel safe and taken care of throughout the process, and we were so grateful both for the comfort of knowing that she’d be there when the time came, regardless of what might happen with doctors switching in or out, and for her amazing help the day of the birth itself. Your mileage may vary, but Amethyst took my wife through exercises in the room that dropped our baby from high in the belly to ready to pop in about an hour, and she only had to push for about 20 minutes as a result. The doctor was stunned by how effective her techniques were at getting the baby to drop. If you want to feel and BE taken care of during your pregnancy, you cannot make a better choice than to hire Amethyst.
