Testimonial for Amber Matteson
Amber was a phenomenal support to us throughout pregnancy. She was always available to answer questions, and her calm and positive demeanor made it really easy for us to feel comfortable quickly.
As the non-birthing partner, and a queer person of color, I had a lot of anxiety about what my experience would be in labor and delivery. Would I be relegated to a corner, or not seen as a full partner in the process? Amber knew about these concerns and made sure that I was always fully involved. At one point, when several medical professionals were in the room and crowding me out of my place by the bed, she literally took my hand and pulled me back into the mix. It meant so much to be seen in this way, and to know that she was holding both my partner's needs and my own in her mind as she worked with us.
We had an incredible birth experience that I'll never forget, and I am certain that this was in large part because Amber was there to support us through it!
