Testimonial for Amanda Hoyle, CD(DONA), CLC, CBE
Amanda was tremendously helpful throughout the entire birthing experience. Beforehand, she answered so many questions and pointed me to the best informative resources that enabled me to learn about labor and delivery.
As labor started, Amanda was hands-on to ease the discomfort of contractions. She coached me, helped me to cope, and encouraged my partner with when and how to engage.
Then, my son's birth didn't go according to plan. Amanda was there every step of the way explaining the options and working to secure my comfort. Without Amanda, my son's birth would have been nightmareish (everything went wrong), but because of Amanda's constant support, knowledge, and calm presence, I was able to navigate the disapointment of having a C-section after laboring for a very very long time, knowing that Amanda, my partner, and I did everything we could to bring my son into the world through a vaginal birth.
My partner said that he couldn't have imagined going through the whole process without Amanda's coaching and support. Amanda enabled him to be an active participant in the birth by signaling to him when and how to help. My partner and I would highly recommend working with Amanda, especially if you have anxiety about all the unknowns that are present with labor/delivery and would like an expert as part of your team!
