Testimonial for Amanda Echols
Amanda made my birth the exact dream birth I've always wanted. With it being my last, I didn't want to go without a doula. Amanda came HIGHLY recommended to me and I knew within the first meeting that she was the perfect fit. Being a mom who suffered a bit of a trauma from my first birth, Amanda really helped to comfort me and she was there for me at any time I needed her. Mid pregnancy, she recommended a midwife so I could go toward a homebirth after a bad experience with my previous provider. She instilled a lot of confidence in me and helped me prepare for birth. Once I got established with the midwife, it was go time and Amanda came immediately. Her assist doula Kim was there also and let me just say, my birth would not have been as beautiful and comfortable as it felt if they were not there. During my labor, they kept it light with pain techniques and making sure I breathe through the surges. Instead of feeling like staff, they felt like close friends. (It was hard to watch them leave). They were excellent with my toddler (who was sleeping during my birth) and absolutely amazing at making sure I was taken care of postpartum. I went ahead with the placenta pills which were ready almost immediately and were 100% worth it. I am so thankful for Amanda (and Kim) and I had the most perfect birth, for me, because of her. You can add me to the list of those who HIGHLY recommend her. Thanks so much, Amanda. Blessings. ??
