Testimonial for Ami Rickson CD(DONA), CPE, Spinning Babies, Brava, HypnoDoula
We have had Ami as our amazing doula for two unmedicated, vaginal hospital births and couldn't have done it without her!! Going into our first birth, we were unsure whether we "needed" a doula or not-I am a prenatal chiropractor and my husband is in his residency, we were taking a hypnobabies class and felt like we had enough experience to "handle it ourselves". We were *so* wrong! I will never forget after the first birth, my husband turned and looked at me and said "Ami was the best, I'm so glad we had her". She gives the perfect calming presence, suggestions for changes in position, and hands on support with her super strong hands. She was the one offering me water and to smell peppermint after I threw up while my husband was holding my hand. She gave enough space for my husband to still be supportive but I also could not have done it without her! I also am very stubborn and did much better when she gave suggestions (to get out of the tub, to drink some juice, to try this position or that position) versus hearing them from my husband. :-) Both of my babies came at almost 42 weeks so she was a wonderful support person when we were doing the waiting game as well. She's the BEST.
