Testimonial for Amber Matusky

With a due date of 1/1, I promised Amber I wouldn't go into labor on Christmas Day, and then I did. She was a great support to me, a first time mother delivering at home. Early on, Amber worked with us to make sure she understood our preferences, provided suggestions, and asked often how she could help. When the "call" came, she responded promptly, left her cosy Christmas celebration, took on her doula tasks as well as things beyond doula's duties (thanks for fishing out the garden hose, Amber! ;-). She let me soak her new knee pads in the tub (aaaaahhhh!, what a relief for those exhausted legs!), provided much needed back support, and served as a photographer as well. For the postpartum visit she brought a large pot of healthy vegetable soup, and baked me delicious gluten-free biscuits. Thank you!
