Testimonial for Amy Buckman, CD(DONA), PCD(DONA)
Amy is the most wonderful Doula. Her guidance, expertise, knowledge and personality were exactly what we were hoping for and needed. Right from the start, we knew she would be a perfect balance for my husband's more analytical brain and need for scientific, fact based-research and my more creative brain and need for long discussions of how I was feeling, the process of birth, motherhood and detailed planning and follow-up. We felt so supported and encouraged, that we went into our induced labour with her by our side feeling prepared and excited. During the labour, Amy helped me shift my focus to feel more calm and grounded and helped me physically with supported postures, a foot massage and pressure point acupuncture. For my husband, her prescence and expertise made him so much more at ease and calm and simplified the process, allowing him to be more present and engaged with me during birth.
Our extra hours we had bought for post-partum were very beneficial in helping us decide on the best feeding path forward, and afforded us an easier transition into parenthood with Amy answering all of our many questions and providing invaluable suggestions.
Amy made us feel like we were her only family to care for that month, when in fact, she was dealing with late and early births, creating a very busy month for her. It goes to show how involved and caring she is with each family.
You can tell how much Amy loves people and the parents she guides along the way, and of course the babies. We would highly recommend Amy as your birth or post-partum doula. You would be in such wonderful, capable and caring hands.
