Testimonial for Amber Matteson
My partner and I loved working with Amber! We were so glad to have her on our birth team. The warmth and kindness she brings to each interaction are some the reasons we hired her - that and her wealth of experience.
Being first time parents we had lots of questions pre-baby and she walked us through each one in prenatal sessions. She covered pain management techniques as well as helped us create a birth plan. We appreciated how supportive Amber was of each of our birth plan decisions. For decisions we weren't sure about she sent us research studies and/or research-based articles so we could feel better informed before making a choice. From the prenatal sessions we felt she'd be a great advocate for us when in labor (which she was!).
During the birth process we were glad to have her calming and positive prescence with us. Specifically I remember being very grateful for her coaching through the pushing part of delivery. After we had our baby, Amber checked in with us often via text. We got a lot out of our post-partum visits and really appreciated Amber's guidance on topics like breastfeeding, bottlefeeding, and sleep. Between visits Amber was very responsive to any questions we texted as well.
We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a doula!
