Testimonial for Amanda Hoyle, CD(DONA), CLC, CBE
Amanda was truly an answer to many prayers. Being first time parents, we had no idea what to expect, and was not even aware of how little we knew about the process of giving birth. It was only after a consultation with Amanda that we realized how much there was to the labor process. Amanda patiently answered all of our questions, provided us with important resources and walked us through every step of the way. She was ready to support us immediately when our little one made her entrance two weeks early to the world. It was evident that being a doula was not just a job for Amanda; it is clearly a passion and a calling; she exuded grace and joy in doing her work.
Not only did Amanda help me have the fastest, most optimal labor ever, she took meticulous notes and also provided us with some beautiful photos of our little one being born that we did not have the bandwidth to capture in the frenzy of the moment despite being prepared with a fancy camera! She was always kind, upbeat, and professional, not just to us, but also all the medical staff we worked with, while also knowing how to remain firm in upholding what we asked for. We appreciated the post-birth visit Amanda provided us with, too, where she answered so many questions we had about lactation (which she is certified in!), postpartum care, and child-rearing. We especially appreciated Amanda walking us through our daughter's birthing story -- so many details we had missed were recaptured, thanks to Amanda!
