Testimonial for Amanda Echols
As I neared 37 weeks pregnant with my third child, my docter said I would be induced at 39 weeks due to my age. I started to worry as it was 9 years since my last birth, and I realized I was not happy with my previous birth experiences (both involving induction). I felt like I had no say, I felt alone, and I really wanted a 'natural birth'. Then the I found DoulaMatch. I reached out to few doulas; Amanda got back to me right away and it was clear she was professional, knowledgeable and loves being a doula. Because of her, I was able to communicate what I wanted despite being induced, and in turn, I had an incredible nurse that did all she could to make it happen. I am overjoyed when I think back at this birth experience. Amanda's calmness and attentiveness gave me strength, helping me manage the pain and avoid an epidural. Also, the aromatherapy was incredible. Amanda is so caring and giving of her time, she is a great person.
