Testimonial for Amethyst Beach
For as long as I live, I will forever be thankful that this amazing human being - Ms. Amethyst Beach - exists. I don't know what I would have done if she wasn't my doula. (Probably a mental breakdown!)
She helped guide this scared new first time mom out of a long labor + induction. My labor was fought with more than a few too unexpected bumps in the road...on top of the Coronavirus pandemic! I owe her my sanity during those 30+ hours of labor.
She's a hero to me, just like all the medical workers on the front line. On top of all that, she's a kick ass doula period!
She was actually my fill in doula last minute and I was so nervous since I knew nothing about her. But her communication was spot on and she arrived at the hospital right on time, gauged the situation, and jumped into action right away. She's a definite pro!
She could take a peek at the hospital charts/graphs to lend me and my husband more insight of labor progression when all the nurses were busy. She understand the hospital lingo. She knew the best positions for me and baby. She was there for the entire labor and radiated positive energy. All around, just an amazing, trusted source for me and my husband.
Her little massages are amazing, she knew exactly where to go to relieve the tension and pain of labor - even if it's just the littlest touches. She has that magic touch.
If it wasn't for her, I think my husband would definitely be in big trouble. (I love him but he freezes up under pressure and labor is very VERY intense!)
TL;DR - You NEED Amethyst.
A doula isn't just for the birthing woman, it's just as much for the support person! A doula shouldn't be something optional. They've been statistically shown to decrease labor time and c-section rates - which I can definitely see would have happened if I went in without a doula like Amethyst. Her service is worth every single penny spent and then some!
