Testimonial for Amethyst Hertsens
We heard about Amethyst by chance through a friend of a friend. The connection and trust we heard she established was enough for us to set up a free consultation, where we'd learn more about her. Right from the start, she was warm, grounded, and a wealth of information for new parents who had no clue what was to come.
Amethyst's years of experience and qualifications go well beyond the average doula in my opinion, and this is what initially sold us. We knew having her by our side in a hospital where we'd decided to give birth would be a tremendous asset. She was extremely well equipped to navigate that setting and be our advocate, especially since I was determined to have a natural birth, and wanted to labor as much as possible at home away from the unfamiliar hospital setting.
The final pre-natal session and the birthing day itself are what absolutely stand out as the most valuable time with Amethyst. While she's naturally a very energetic and bubbly personality, during these times Amethyst was serene and strong. Her calm, level-headed presence made me feel absolutely ready. She was a steady guiding hand whenever we needed it. My husband and I had a private and personal birthing day together, but we could not have imagined doing it without Amethyst there in the wings for us whenever we needed her. She is literally ready for anything! There is no doubt that she helped me have the natural birth I wanted, and helped me remain at home laboring as long as possible. The week following our son's birth we met one last time with Amethyst where we recounted the amazing day together and she gave us our wonderful placenta encapsulation goods and some very thoughtful gifts as well.
We are so grateful to have crossed paths with Amethyst. We would recommend Amethyst to anyone looking for an intuitive, experienced, passionate partner during this amazing time.
