Testimonial for Amber Matusky
Amber put my husband & I at ease when we interviewed her. There was no time limit to her visit, we sipped tea, and talked about our pregnancy and birth experience and hopes. She made us feel very comfortable. We wanted to hire a doula to help us determine when to go to the hospital. It was important that we didn't arrive too early, stall labor, or be turned away. And we wanted someone to help us navigate decisions at the hospital if things became complicated.
My labor and birth ended up being fast. Because Amber lives on Vashon island, we knew we needed to take that into account for travel time to us. She hopped on the next boat over to Seattle once we gave her the request. We labored at home for a short while. She sensed things were picking up, and with her suggestion, we left for the hospital. She kicked into high gear, giving my husband clear instructions for loading us in the car, for my breathing through contractions on the drive, for driving safely and what to do upon arrival at the hopsital. Amber parked our car in the garage so that my husband could stay with me. She provided good hands on support before our son was born, checking in with both myself and my husband. Once were settled after the birth, she ordered us thai food and snapped some sweet first photos!
I would highly recommend Amber for her experience, soft voice, consistency and love of the birth process.
