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

Skeptical partners: You will not be disappointed. When I told my husband I was hiring a doula he rolled his eyes and asked me if it was necessary. After our experience with Amanda during the delivery, he has become one of the biggest advocates for doulas. She helped make our birth story EXACTLY what we wanted. 

Moms: I knew she was the perfect match when I interviewed her and she asked if I was interviewing other doulas to find the best match. This said to me that my birth experience and doula match was more important to her than hiring another client. She checked in every Monday to see how we were doing and provided us with any resources necessary. As I got closer to my due date, I had two appointments with her. One virtual, to go over the birth plan and another in person to begin discussing laboring strategies and a plan for the day of. Amanda was so patient with me as I constantly asked, “what contractions would feel like.” On the day of delivery I woke up at 2am with contractions 4min apart lasting about a minute. I was worried about not getting a response because it was so late but she immediately responded and asked us to call so she could get a better understanding of how labor was progressing. We agreed to meet at the hospital and when we arrived Amanda was waiting for us outside, offering to park our car so my husband could walk in with me. Amanda was so supportive to us, including when she had to facetime in waiting for the negative COVID results. Once she was with us, she was constantly evaluating my body and our needs to guide my husband and I through relief techniques. Amanda made sure that the hospital understood our desires and requests even when my husband felt that we were not being listened to by the hospital. Without Amanda I could have ended up having a traumatic birth story, and I am forever thankful that she was there to advocate for us. YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED!
