Testimonial for Amanda Hoyle, CD(DONA), CLC, CBE
When we did our initial consult with Amanda we knew we wanted her to be our doula. This was our first baby and we wanted a doula to be present to assist with our unmedicated birth. There is so much to learn about childbirth that we knew we could not go alone. From the beginning, Amanda offered us resources on topics we were interested in. What we especially liked about Amanda was that she is very familiar with both of the hospitals we could give birth at. At 37 weeks, my water broke but I was not sure. When this happened, I immediately texted Amanda and let her know we could be in labor. Amanda continued to keep in communication with us while we were in triage and in early labor. She gave us tips on how to continue to advocate for an unmedicated birth since we were now on a time clock. When active labor started, Amanda was there for every contraction. The counterpressure was a God send and kept me from asking for the epidural. I loved how Amanda was there to answer questions about what was happening with my body at the moment. In the end, I was able to have an unmedicated birth with a short labor time. Amanda truly prepares and advocates for the birth that you envision. The doctor in the room had a traditional delivery in mind by Amanda was there to reinforce my wishes of my birth plan in a kind and gentle manner.
