Testimonial for Ami Rickson CD(DONA), CPE, Spinning Babies, Brava, HypnoDoula
We knew for the birth of our second child that one thing we wanted to do differently was to hire a doula, hoping that this would decrease the likelihood of interventions this time and with all our family out of town, we just knew we needed more support.
I met Ami virtually for an interview before hiring her. She was an immediately calming and knowledgeable presence for my husband and I and we knew she would be a great help for us with this birth.
Our in person meeting with Ami in the third trimester was so beneficial to us. She really helped us talk through our first birth, helped us understand our preferences for this second birth, and really educated us on comfort measures. Additionally, she was available for questions via text message which was so helpful for me as I experienced so many pre-labor symptoms.
Our birth occurred very suddenly in the middle of the night. What could have been a frantic scary delivery, was a beautiful calm one instead and a lot of that is credited to Ami's presence. She provided such helpful suggestions for pushing positions and comfort measures and gave the most perfect verbal cues to help me relax and listen to what my body needed. She was also able to provide support to me and my partner in the time following the birth which was so critical in establishing a latch.
I truly cannot recommend Ami enough for people looking for a knowledgeable and calming presence for their birth journey!
