Testimonial for Amethyst Hertsens
Few words exist to describe our amazing experience with Amethyst. She came highly recommended by our midwife for doula services and hypnobirthing classes. Amethyst is a joy to work with, she has a sweet disposition and a comforting spirit that makes you feel like if you've known her for ages. We worked with her by taking hypnobirthing classes throughout the pregnancy which highly increased our confidence level in having a home birth. She was instrumental in making my husband feel included and really was a support in helping our family enjoy the birthing event. I really looked forward to her classes and her soothing voice. We also hired Amethyst for doula services during our birth and I have to say she went above and beyond what I had come to expect. I heavily relied on her for prompts during active labor, her voice remained calm and reassuring (she never doubted my ability to give birth even when I did) she also helped massage my lower back, she spoon fed me after the birth (her food is so good!), she washed our dishes and even did grocery shopping (since the baby came early we were caught with little supplies!) this came as huge life saver in the middle of the winter. I also particularly enjoyed the postpartum visit where we got to chat about how the whole birth unfolded and I was able to process this experience as wonderful and empowering. Working with Amethyst gave me the confidence my husband and I needed to have a successful homebirth and believe that we could actually enjoy it with manageable amounts of pain. She helped lower my stress and will forever be part of our little baby boy's birth. I can best describe her as a fairy godmother! We love you Amethyst!
