Testimonial for Amethyst Hertsens
When my wife told me that she wanted to hire a doula to support her through the birth of our son, I was initially a bit skeptical, but hiring Amethyst turned out to be a wonderful decision, as she proved to be an invaluable asset to us! Becoming first-time parents must truly be one of the most daunting experiences that one will face in life, and having an experienced hand in Amethyst by our side to guide us through the journey really made us feel a lot more prepared and confident about everything. We hit it off immediately with Amethyst; she is so personable, full of energy and confidence - I really cannot imagine someone not getting along with her. In our two pre-natal visits with her, she was really able to put our minds at ease by covering a lot of ground regarding what we needed to know and how to prepare, as well as answering all of our questions. While we had prepared for a natural childbirth, medical circumstances dictated that my wife have an immediate C-section. Even so, we found it extremely valuable to have Amethyst there as a resource, being suddenly thrust into a situation that we had not prepared for. She really helped put us into the right frame of mind and guided us through the afternoon and evening, sometimes interacting with and making suggestions to the hospital staff to make my wife feel comfortable. She was a very calming and soothing influence in what was otherwise one of the most chaotic days of our lives. Her post-natal follow-up was also invaluable in terms of caring for the baby, especially in those crucial first few weeks - we really learned a lot of great information from her! And, she also made herself available to answer questions for several weeks afterwards, which proved to be a great resource as well. All in all, we really cannot thank her or recommend her highly enough, and would readily hire her again! - Gene P.
