Testimonial for Amethyst Hertsens

Words cannot express how grateful I am to Amethyst for being there for us on the most exciting (any scary) day of our lives. When I first met Amethyst she instantly put me at ease with her calm and supportive demeanor. She talked us through the entire process and was very informative and able to answer all our questions. We decided that we would also have Amethyst as our hypnobirthing instructor. She came to our home to teach the classes and for our pre-birth meetings, which was so helpful as it was summer in NYC! I felt very comfortable with what I knew already about giving birth, but she was very good at answering all the questions my husband had, and informing me of all the things I hadn’t yet learned. Once I went into labor she talked me through laboring at home through the night and we met up at the hospital. I couldn’t deliver in the birthing center like I wanted because there was meconium in my water, but Amethyst helped to set the scene in the Labor and Delivery room so I felt relaxed and ready for anything. She talked me through everything which was so helpful, because being a first-time mom, I didn’t really know what was going to happen and the nurses and doctors talk so fast and don’t always clue you in. But Amethyst translated what I didn’t understand and helped to me to feel like I could conquer it all. She felt like family from the first day we met and I was so happy to have her by my side during the most scary and exciting time of my life. She talked me through all the breathing, hard and scary times, and celebrated with me through the wins. She was also my cheerleader and coach, and made me feel 100% confidant that I could do it. I have no doubt that having Amethyst by my side not only made me feel more comfortable, but made my pregnancy and delivery far less stressful and helped me to enjoy every moment. Thank you Amethyst! ~ Rhiannon & Jason Clark
