Testimonial for Amethyst Hertsens
My husband and I hired Amethyst to be our Labor Doula as well as our Hypnobirthing instructor. We met with several doulas, and hired Amethyst based on her experience, outgoing personality, and positive energy. I wanted a birth experience that could be as relaxed and as noninvasive as possible while still being in a hospital setting. Amethyst was supportive and did an amazing job explaining the birth process to my husband, who was originally skeptical of my plans. What comforted both of us is that Amethyst had assisted women with a range of birth experiences from c-sections to planned epidurals to completely natural births and that she was not judgmental in towards any woman’s choice.
My labor ended up lasting for 39 hours and with the skills I learned in Hypnobirthing, I was able to stay relaxed and AT HOME for the majority of that time. Amethyst was with us at the hospital and made the delivery room very peaceful by dimming the lights and using essential oils. My husband especially relied on her when he was not sure what to do, and the two worked together well throughout the entire process. The birth of my daughter was an amazing experience that I will never forget, and Amethyst was an integral part of that, and my family will always be grateful to her.
