Testimonial for Amy Buckman, CD(DONA), PCD(DONA)
When the special day arrived Amy provided excellent support not only for me but my support people as well! Everything went so much smoother than I ever thought it could! (It’s true what they say about the second time being easier!) I would suggest Amy for anybody’s birth plan. I had a home birth but I can imagine her to be very adaptable to any and every situation. Every birth is so different and no matter what bumps come along Amy provides excellent support!
38 weeks into my second pregnancy I had no doula and no idea what to do. I was feeling nervous, unprepared and unsure if a doula was necessary or not! My friend gave me Amy’s info and I contacted her. I figured I’d meet her and if it didn’t feel right I’d just not have a doula again. When I met Amy she immediately made me feel safe and listened to my concerns. She even helped me to see things I hadn’t even acknowledged about my first birth. I felt I could trust her to be the kind of support I was looking for!
Even though I was so far along in my pregnancy she didn’t hesitate to meet with my husband and I and provide both of us with helpful tools and tips so we could be preparing my body for labour. I could only imagine how much more I would have benefitted if I had connected with her sooner! She is able to be involved as much or as little as you want! She takes the time to listen and asks questions so she’s prepared for your birth!
