Testimonial for Amethyst Beach
I and my husband were thrilled but also pretty nervous for the birth of our first child. The prospect of navigating pregnancy and childbirth would have been pretty daunting anytime, but it was especially during COVID. We interviewed several doulas, and my partner and I knew within 10 mins of talking to Amie that she was ‘our’ doula. She exuded this calm, confident presence that was infectious. She was incredibly knowledgeable and professional, and also so warm, patient, supportive, and super chill. Every time we met before the due date, I left feeling like ‘I’ve got this!’
I faced some unexpected complications at the end of my pregnancy, and Amie was always a text or phone call away to be a level headed sounding board while we considered our alternatives. Ultimately when we decided that I should be induced, Amie was there at the hospital in what seemed like an instant. She knew exactly what to suggest to help get me through, whether it was a different position, or a different way to breath.
This wasn’t obvious to me until we got pregnant, a doula is there just as much for the birth partner as they are there for the person in labor. Going into labor, my husband was more nervous than I was, and pretty freaked out about witnessing / helping me through something so intense. She knew exactly how to coach him through the labor.
Bottom line – Amie is amazing! She was exactly who we needed to help with our daughter’s birth, and I bet she’s who you need too.
