Testimonial for Amy Buckman, CD(DONA), PCD(DONA)
Soon after we learned we were having a baby, we knew we would want to have the support of a Doula. We first met Amy for a get-to-know-you coffee towards the end of the 1st trimester. From the first impression it was clear that she exuded a knowledgable warmth and love for what she does. We exchanged questions about the services she provides, what kind of support we thought we would be wanting, and got to know each other a little better. Amy made us feel comfortable about the birth process and we knew wanted her on our team throughout the journey - she did an outstanding job at helping us determine how she could best support us, and from there it was an easy decision to select her as our Doula.
Throughout the course of the pregnancy she was always available to take our questions. And as we learned more about the labour process and all that it entails, we felt reassured knowing that we would have Amy in our corner when the time came.
Our prenatal visits were very education and Amy did a great job of helping Dad realize how he can best support Mom, and helping Mom accept that she had a great team behind her that would support her through the delivery.
Our baby was a finicky little guy and required a last-minute cesarian. Amy was able to meet us at the hospital on very short notice and was with us until baby and mom were resting soundly in postpartum (plus she took some really excellent first-look photos!). Due to Covid-19 and not having an extended labour, Amy offered to further support us with a few facetime sessions postpartum to allow us to ask some new parent questions and get a much-appreciated second opinion. We are very greatful for her support throughout this journey and highly encourage anyone looking for a passionate, supportive, and involved Doula to give Amy a call. You will not regret it!
