Amy's experience and support was priceless to both me and husband, in what became unusual and difficult birth circumstances. She was a tremendous bastion of support and our rock. Amy was both extremely calm and nurturing but also read situations well and did not hesitate to step in and take charge, particularly in some tough and dark moments. I honestly don't think I would have made it through some of them without her. After some of the difficulties passed, she teamed impressively with one of the birth nurses to get me to the birth experience I sought. She was also an excellent communicator in the months up to the birth, being extremely responsive to my questions and providing solid baby planning and preparation advice. She's a lovely person and great at her profession! Of all the choices my husband and I made so far before and after the birth, hiring Amy was one of the best, if not the best, one.
