Choosing Amanda as our doula was one of the best choices we made during my pregancy. From the first time we talked on Zoom, Amanda was calm, helpful, and full of great information that benefitted us.
We had multiple conversations and visits before labor where Amanda provided information about laboring, positioning, and pain management techniques. All her recommendations were evidence-based, which I greatly appreciated. She had lots of great articles/papers for us to read in the weeks leading up to the birth. She was also always available by text, which I appreciated.
During labor, Amanda helped me advocate and ask questions about recommendations my provider was making. She made sure I was hydrated, and made suggestions about positioning to help labor and pushing along. I was able to deliver an almost nine-pound baby without medication in no small part thanks to Amanda!
After baby was born, Amanda came over once to help with nursing issues I was having, and a second time just to check in. She was also a great resource for validating and explaining a lot of the hormonal flucuations/emotional changes happening.
I would absolutely recommend Amanda as a doula, and would 100% use her again for future pregnancies. She was a wonderful resource for us!
