Testimonial for Amy Loomis, RN, CD
We were blessed to have Amy attend my birth and provide pre- and postnatal care. It is very obvious Amy has a calling to assist women in bringing their children into this world. During our prenatal visits, Amy connected with both myself and my husband. We quickly grew to love her. Amy sought to understand where we were in the education journey of labor, delivery, and life with a newborn and provided us valuable information. My baby is now 5 months old and I still often reflect on things Amy told us. Amy was available and responsive anytime I needed and answered every single question we had, soothing our concerns.
Amy helped me make decisions about my prenatal care with healthcare professionals in a respectful, caring way. When I went into labor she met us at our birthing location and was there to help walk me in. She immediately started comfort measures. Amy did whatever was needed during the 7 hours of labor we spent together. She helped me in and out of the shower, cleaning myself, hip squeezes in the shower, bath, or bed, she had peppermint oil for when I had nausea, she helped keep me hydrated and fed as best she could. She collaborated with my husband and the health care providers and helped explain things to me. She gave me encouragement. She let me squeeze her hand so hard! Amy took beautiful once in a lifetime tasteful photos during the experience I will treasure forever.
Post birth Amy stuck around to make sure we were all okay and gave tips about breastfeeding which helped me in my determination to breastfeed. Postpartum Amy checked in as appropriate, not too much and enough.
Our birth experience would not have physically or emotionally felt the same without Amy. She is a gem, I highly recommend her to anyone needing a doula that shares her values. If we are blessed enough to have additional children I would be honored and lucky to have Amy attend additional births.
