Testimonial for Amanda Hoyle, CD(DONA), CLC, CBE

We love Amanda! She was the first doula we interviewed, and we knew before we interviewed anyone else that she was the doula for us. She radiated a sense of calm and compassion, which drew us to her. We couldn’t have made a better choice.

 


My pregnancy was physically easy, but emotionally difficult for me. Since this was my first baby, I was very anxious about giving birth, especially in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. Throughout pregnancy, Amanda provided us with all of the resources and information we needed to make informed decisions, without pushing any one birth philosophy. Most importantly to me, Amanda checked in on me frequently and gave me pep talks and encouragement throughout my pregnancy. Somehow she always knew when I needed her support and what I needed to hear.

 


Unfortunately, because of hospital policies around COVID, Amanda was not able to accompany me to my birth, but I so wish she could have. I think my hospital experience would have been far better had she been there in person. That being said, she provided us with virtual support throughout our entire labor, recommending different positions to try and helping us evaluate our options when unexpected obstacles arose.

 


In summary, Amanda is incredibly knowledgeable about the entire birth process and techniques for labor (she’s DONA and spinning babies certified!). She goes above and beyond for her clients and genuinely cares about them and their birth experience. She made me feel loved and respected and gave me the confidence I needed to give birth. She will forever hold a very special place in our hearts for helping us bring our son into the world. I don’t know if another pregnancy is in the cards for us, but if it is, our first call will be to Amanda!
